Australian rules
Melbourne's oval sport
Australian rules is a fast-paced football code native to Australia, played on an oval field with eighteen players per side.
The ball is moved by kicking or punching—throwing is prohibited—and players score by kicking through tall goalposts.
Often shortened to Aussie rules or called footy in Australia, where it dominates the sports landscape.
