Australian rules betting before the match: AFLW and the laws of the game

Australian rules football is a game between two teams on an oval field, 135 to 185 metres long and 110 to 155 metres wide, played with an oval ball. Each team tries to score more points than the other: a goal is worth six points and a behind one point. If both teams finish on the same number of points, the match is drawn.

Goals and behinds

A goal is scored when a player of the attacking team kicks the ball completely over the goal line, between the two goal posts, without anyone else touching it, even if it bounces first. A behind, worth one point, is recorded in cases including:

• The ball passes over the behind line, between a goal post and a behind post;

• An attacker's kick is touched by another player before it crosses the goal line;

• An attacker handballs or knocks the ball over the goal line instead of kicking it;

• A defender sends the ball over the goal line or the behind line.

AFL Women's: 16 players and 17-minute quarters

The Laws of Australian Football set a match of 80 minutes: four quarters of 20 minutes of actual playing time, with stoppages excluded. They allow between 14 and 18 players per team on the ground, and each competition fixes its own number. AFL Women's (AFLW), Australia's national professional competition for female players, run by the Australian Football League, uses 16 players a side plus five on the bench. Its quarters last 17 minutes, and in the last two minutes of each one, time on is called for every stoppage.

The first AFLW season, in February and March 2017, had eight teams; there have been 18 since 2022. The 2026 season is laid out as follows:

North Melbourne won the 2024 premiership and then the 2025 Grand Final.
