I think they mean Australian rules football.

"Australian rules football, also called Australian football or Aussie rules,[2] or more simply football or footy, is a contact sport played between two teams of 18 players on an oval field, often a modified cricket ground. Points are scored by kicking the oval ball between the middle goal posts (worth six points) or between a goal and behind post (worth one point)."

I don't know much about football, I have no clue what's different and what's not. I play touch footy instead.

How many players on the field (per team)?

For touch? We usually play seven per side, but sometimes when there is not enough players we play six a side.

I stopped blabbing about my Bielefelders and button quail long enough to check in on this thread, and a lot to catch up on.

Lemme know if you have any specific science questions.

Covid 19
What it has done to my life......
I am disabled and need to see many specialized doctors. Because of my illnesses I am now unable to see most of my doctors. I can not ride on public transportation. This means I can't leave my house unless a friend picks me up. So, once a month (if friend picks me up) I get to go get food,meds, and see my doctor.
I am unable (I have note from doctor) to wear a mask, not because I want to buck the system but because I pass out when I have one on. I have a torn rotator cuff and can't get it operated on. I have procedures I had scheduled just before the virus that have been put off indefinitely.
The store closed in my town now I only have Dollar General to shop at except their aisles are blocked with stocking carts I'm unable to walk down them. I get food from a gas station and eggs from my girls.
I get comments about not wearing a mask,looks, and people rushing away from me. I wish I was able to do a mask it would make life so much easier.

Have you considered a face shield instead of a mask? I'm sorry you're having such a rough go of it right now. I'm pretty sure DG sells face shields. They may also offer pickup so you could just pick up the stuff and avoid the aisles. Also a lot of stores offer home delivery now so that might also help you.
