10 round, 5 team season involving Hawthorne, Collingwood, Richmond. St Kilda and us.

Anyone know anything about how this game is played? Could be entertaining to watch.

Sounds like a great spectacle. Wheelchair rugby is bloody fantastic to watch, and I imagine it would be similar?

I just watched the meet the captain video, it's 5 a side with an offside rule that reminds me of netball, played on a basketball court.

2 defenders - play in defensive and middle third of court
1 midfielder - goes everywhere
2 forwards - play in forward and middle third of court

Handball = kick
Underarm thrown = handball
Touch = tackle
