AFL

Today,we learnt a game and it is like Australian football league. There are two teams and they are called Sydney swans and Hawthorns hawks. They have one captain in one team. And the captains have to do rock paper scissors. And the one that wins gets to pick if they want the bibs or they do not want the bibs. There is a triangle that is called the in-zone. And there must be the same amount in each team. First you do a ruck, the umpire has to throw the ball up then one person from each team has a turn to smash the ball to there team.They have to do a handball to get to there goal catcher and they will earn a point.And if you get lots of points then you win.

The Ruck

                                                                  The Ruck

• What?

The umpire throws the ball up & you have to jump high and
 you have to hit the ball to your team.

• When?

At the start of the quarter, after a goal & throw ins.

• Why?

The umpire sees who gets the ball.

• Who?

The ruck men & umpire.

Ruck o'clock
The umpire calls an o'clock and throws the ball up.
Then they hit the ball as hard as they can and it should be in the right direction.
For example the empire says 12.00 you have to hit it in front of you. And 6.00 goes behind you. 3.00 goes on your right side.And 9.00 goes on your left side.
And if you do those you can get a point.
