Advancing The Ball
In both games, players must dispose of the ball correctly, by hand or by foot and the ball must not be thrown. Gaelic football deems the open hand tap to be legitimate disposal, whereas Australian rules enforces the handpass or disposal with a clenched fist.

In both games, a player must bounce (or Solo in Gaelic) the ball while running.
