Basically, the umpire bounces the ball in the middle of the field to start the game: the two ruckmen jump up in the air and try to tap the ball to a team mate. Once you get the ball, you can kick the ball to a team mate, just kick for distance (towards your goal), or you can handball it - which is like punching the ball to them. When a player catches/ "marks" the ball at least 15meters from where it was kicked, he may have a free kick.
The goals look like this illi (without the dots on the i) ... If you kick the ball between the 2 middle, bigger posts, it is "a goal" (worth 6 pts). If it goes between a big and a little post on either side, it worth one point.
The aim is to be on the highest scoring team at the end of the fourth/last quarter (each quarter lasts about 25 mins - 30mins).
You can also run, carrying the ball, but you have to bounce it every 15 meters. You can only pass it by punching it off the palm of your hand or by kicking it. You can kick it forward to another player or through the goalposts.
You can only tackle an opponent if he is holding the ball. If he is held, he must get rid of the ball by punching it or kicking it. You can only bump a player if he is within 5 meters of the ball.
OK ... Now you're ready!
