The
Touch
a
Players
of both defending and attacking teams are to
use the minimum force necessary to affect the
touch. A touch can be made on any part of the
person, their clothing or the ball.
a
After
a touch has been affected, the player in possession
is required to stop, return to the mark where
the touch occurred if the mark has been over-run,
and perform a Rollball without delay.
a
After
being touched 6 times the ball is handed over
to the other side.
a
If
a touch is considered to be too strong a penalty
will be awarded against the offending team.
a
The
dummy half (the person who receives the ball
from the player starting the game) is not allowed
to be caught while in possession of the ball.
If the dummy half is caught with the ball, possession
is handed over to the opposition who will recommence
play with a Rollball.
a
The
Rollball
a
The
Rollball is affected by the attacking player
positioning on the mark, facing the defenders
scoreline, standing parallel to the sidelines,
and rolling the ball backwards along the ground
between their feet. If the ball is rolled more
than 1 metre a penalty will be awarded to the
opposition.
a
A
Voluntary Rollball is when the player is not
touched and rolls the ball between their legs.
This is not allowed and will result in a penalty
to the opposition.
a
The
Penalty
a
If
someone is penalised their team must retreat
10 metres.
a
A
penalty is taken by placing the ball on the
ground, letting go of the ball, touching the
ball with your foot and picking up the ball.
a
Passing
a
A
forward Pass is when the ball is passed in front
of the player who possessed the ball. In this
situation the ruling will be a penalty.
a
A
Touch and Pass is when the person who is touched
then passes the ball. Again the ruling will
be a penalty.
a
Offside
a
An
attacking player is offside when that player
is forward of another attacking player who has
possession or who last had possession of the
ball.
a
A
defending player is offside when that player
has not retreated the required 5 metres (Rollball)
or 10 metres (Penalty and restart of play after
touchdowns) at recommencement of play.
a
For
all offside incidents the opposition will be
awarded a penalty.
