	Australian rules football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian football, which is also known as Australian rules football, or less formally as "Aussie rules" or simply as "footy" is a code of football which originated in Melbourne, Australia.
		Australian football is not yet large enough internationally for a FIFA-style governing body, so the AFL is primarily responsible for funding and governance and provides around A$500,000 annually for international development, especially junior programs.
		For the centenary of the VFL/AFL in 1996, an Australian Football Hall of Fame was established.

		Australian rules football (also known as "footy" or "Aussie Rules" in areas where it is the predominant winter sport) is a game played between two teams of 18 players, usually played on cricket ovals during the winter months.
		All of the original VFL clubs are still in existence, with the exception of South Melbourne Football Club who in 1982 relocated to Sydney and became known as the Sydney Swans and the Fitzroy which merged with the Brisbane[?] in 1996 due to financial difficulties.
		In 1989, the Australian Football League (AFL) was born.

	Sports Rules - Australian Rules football
		When a player is kicking at goal from a mark or from a free kick, the kick must be on a direct line through the mark to the centre of the goal line.
		If, after a mark or a free kick, the player does not put the ball back into play from outside the boundary line, the ball is returned to the field at the point where the original mark or free kick took place.
		The centre circle is marked at the precise center of the oval, 3 metres (9 feet) in diameter, divided by a lateral line extending 2 metres (6 feet 6 inches) on either side of the diameter, and dividing the field in half.

		A few games of football were played in 1858 but it was not until 17 May 1859 that Tom Wills chaired the meeting of seven men who framed the first rules of Australian football.
		Three of the ten original Australian rules of 1859 that were taken from Rugby are remarkably still features of the modern version of the two codes, and clearly indicate the origin of Australian football.
		It is the modern versions of Gaelic and Australian football which gives rise to the dubious belief that the two codes are first cousins or even father and son.
