    Correct Answer
    A. Team Captain
    Explanation
    The team captain is responsible for requesting a head count of the opposing team.

Requesting a head count is important for ensuring fair play and verifying that the opposing team has the correct number of players on the field.

    Correct Answer
    A. The Field Umpire Commences his/her approach to bounce/throw the ball
    Explanation
    Players are not permitted to enter the centre square from when the field umpire commences his/her approach to bounce/throw the ball. This is a rule in Australian Rules Football where players must wait until the field umpire starts their approach before they can enter the centre square. This rule is in place to ensure fair play and prevent any advantage or disadvantage to either team.

    Explanation

    • 10m

    • 2

    • 1

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 1
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 1 because the question asks how many opponents may stand a player's mark, and the answer is that only one opponent can stand on the mark. The other options are not correct because they do not specify the number of opponents that can stand on the mark.

    Rate this question:

  • 18.

    • Bring the player back behind the mark

    • Line up the player again

    • Call and indicate "Play On"

    • Call "advantage"

    Correct Answer
    A. Call and indicate "Play On"
    Explanation
    If a player attempts to play on other than move in a direct line over the mark, the field umpire should call and indicate "Play On". This means that the player has not correctly followed the rules and must continue with the game without stopping. The umpire's call and indication serve as a signal to both teams and ensure that the game continues smoothly without any interruptions.

    Rate this question:

  • 19.

    • The goal post

    • The centre of the field

    Correct Answer
    A. The centre of the goal line
    Explanation
    When kicking for goal from a mark taken outside the goal square, a player should be lined up with the centre of the goal line. This means that the player should position themselves in the middle of the goal line to have the best angle and accuracy for their kick. By aligning themselves with the centre of the goal line, the player increases their chances of successfully scoring a goal.

    Rate this question:

    • Play on called

    • Ball Up

    Correct Answer
    A. Free kick for incorrect disposal
    Explanation
    If a player has had a prior opportunity and is in the act of kicking or handballing and is tackled, swinging them off balance without making contact with the ball, the correct decision is to award a free kick for incorrect disposal. This means that the player did not dispose of the ball correctly and will be penalized for it.

    • Play on

    • Ball up

    Correct Answer
    A. Play on
    Explanation
    If a player with No Prior Opportunity has his arms pinned to his side in a legal tackle, causing the ball to drop free, the decision is to play on. This means that the umpire will allow the game to continue without stopping play or awarding a free kick or penalty. The player in this situation is considered to have had no realistic chance to dispose of the ball, so play will continue as normal.

  • 22.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    If a player carries the ball across the boundary line after an "out of bounds" signal, they should hand the ball to the Boundary umpire or place it on the ground if the umpire is not in the area. This is because the Boundary umpire is responsible for making decisions regarding the ball being out of bounds and they need to have control of the ball to make the appropriate call.
