Australian Rules Football, or Aussie Rules, is a sport with similarities to rugby and football, but with its own unique set of rules and flavour! 18 players compete on each team on a large pitch, and they can move the ball towards the opponents' goal with their body in any way as long as they follow certain rules (for example, bouncing the ball or touching it to the ground every so often if they run with it). The game is thought to have originated in Melbourne in the mid-19th Century.
