Scoring in Footy is not nearly as confusing as it looks..take a few notes and you will be kicking goals before you know it! How to Score A ball kicked between the two larger goal posts without being touched is a goal and you score six points, this is the main aim of the game.  Goal Posts At Each End Of The Ground
If the ball passes between a goal post and a behind post then it is a behind, and it scores 1 point.
If the ball hits the goal post, a behind is scored. This is regardless of where the ball goes after hitting the goal post e.g back into the field of play, through the goals or whatever. Play stops as soon as the ball hits the goal post, and is restarted by a kick-in. See 1.6.5a.
If the ball is forced, or carried, but not kicked over the scoring line by the attacking team, anywhere between the goal posts, a behind is scored.
If the ball hits a behind post without bouncing it is deemed 'out on the full' and the opposing team takes a free kick from next to the behind post.If the ball bounces and hits the behind post then the ball is thrown into play again by the boundary umpire from next to the behind post. In both cases no points are scored.
If the ball is kicked or forced over the scoring line between the goal post and the behind post by any player, then a behind is scored.
The score board is read like this - Goals (number of goals x 6) - Behinds (1) - Points (Goals + Points = Total)
 Traditional Scoreboard Starting and Restarting Play
The field umpire starts play by bouncing the ball in the center circle so that it rebounds vertically to be contested by the players in the center square much like a baskteball tip off.
Only four players from each team are permitted in the center square until after the ball has been bounced.
After a goal is scored, play is restarted in the center of the ground in the manner described above.
After a behind has scored. Any player of the defending team kicks the ball from within the kick-off 'square' in front of goal, but only after the goal umpire has finished waving his flags. The player must *kick* the ball out to restart play.
After the ball has gone out of bounds (outside the boundary line).If the ball bounced, then the boundary umpire throws the ball into play by throwing it over his head towards the center of the ground.If the ball did not bounce and went over the boundary line as a result of a kick that was not touched, the opposing team receives a free-kick from the spot from where the ball went out. The closest player from the opposing team takes the free kick.
