Australian Rules Football
Aussie Rules - Scoring From A Free Kick
Thumbnail #1 If an offense by an opponent occurs during a successful kick at goal, the goal will count. If a behind is scored, another kick is awarded.
Thumbnail #2 If an attacker commits an offense during his team's kick for goal, no points may be scored and a free kick is awarded to the opposition.
If a player is fouled immediately after a score and "äll clear," another free kick is awarded where the offense occured. There may then be another score before the ball is bounced in the centre circle or kicked off.

Aussie Rules - Taking A Free Kick

If the offense was against a player who had disposed of the ball, his team may take the kick from:
a) where the ball touched the ground.;
b) where the ball was caught;
c) where the ball was marked;
d) where the ball went out of play;
e) where the offense occurred.
Thumbnail #2 A player may take a free kick from any point behind where it was awarded.
No other player may be within 10 metres and only one opponent is allowed at that distance.
The field umpire will allow play to continue if a free kick would benefit the offending side.
If an opponent deliberately delays a free kick or a mark, it may be advanced a maximum of 15 metres towards goal.
If the offending team commits another offense before the free kick is taken, the kick shall be taken where the second offense occurred if that is to the disadvantage of the offending team.
