It was most notably used in the Australian Football League on three occasions—most recently in 2010—prior to its abolition in 2016.

As such, the teams would reconvene the following week to replay their game, pushing back the rest of the finals schedule by one week. This caused controversy in 1990, when the qualifying final between Collingwood and West Coast was drawn.

Defenders fall into four main categories: centre-backs, full-backs, sweepers, and wing-backs. The centre-back and full-back positions are most common in modern formations. The sweeper and wing-back roles are more specialised, often limited to certain formations dependent on the manager's style of play and tactics. Centre-back The centre-back (also known as a central defender or centre-half, as the modern role of the centre-back arose from the centre-half position) defends in the area directly in front of the goal and tries to prevent opposing players, particularly centre-forwards, from scoring.
