	Handball (Australian rules football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1980s, Richmond Football Club wingman Kevin Bartlett became famous for his style of play which involved use of the handball to dispose of the ball before an opponent was about to tackle.
		By handballing to space in front of himself and use his pace to redeem the ball, he was frequently able to avoid being penalised for holding the ball.
		Handball competitions are often used to test the accuracy of handpasses.
