a) Ruck	Usually the tallest player on the field, the ruckman does not normally play in a ‘set’ position on the ground and is involved in the passage of play immediately after a stoppage (i.e. the resumption of play after a goal is kicked, the ball goes out of bounds or the umpire calls for a re-start).
b) Wing	Classified as a part of the ‘midfield’, the wing is responsible for covering one side of the playing field, constantly running between offence and defence.
c) Centre	Classified as a part of the ‘midfield’, the centre in most games will cover the greatest total distance and is therefore often filled by the fittest player in the team.
d) Half Back Flank  (HBF)	Positioned on the second last line of defence, the HBF is a set position required to minimise the influence of their direct opponent, whilst also providing a rebound role when moving the ball out of defence. As it is a set position it often does not cover as great a distance as other positions.
e) Back Pocket  (BP)	As it is a set position on the last line of defence, not only is the Back Pocket directly responsible for minimising the effect of their direct opponent, but it is also often used to rest ‘midfield’ players rather than sitting them on the substitute bench.
