A buddy of mine is refereeing an Aussie Rule's match this Sunday. He's asking for help translating the names of these penalties.

 

The * indicates what the penalty is called in English. This is what needs the translation. The sentence behind the ^ is the explanation of the term, per my friend.

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

*Push in the back:
(As it sounds, a player pushes another in the back)

*throwing the ball:
(As it sounds again)

*incorrect disposal
(This is the hard one to explain. Sometimes it's called holding the ball. This is where a player is tackled and doesn't try and get rid of the football by kicking it or punching it.)

* high tackle/contact
( a tackle/contact that is above the shoulder. Often I normally just say "high" not sure if that works in Chinese)

* low tackle/contact
(Same as above but below the knees)

*holding the man (often said as "holding")
(A free kick for a. Tackling a player who doesn't have the ball. Or b. a player holds the arms or shirt of another player who doesn't have the ball)

*deliberate out of bounds (often just said as "deliberate")
(When a player puts the ball out of bounds deliberately)

*prohibited contact
(I just threw this one in here as it's a catch all I can use for a few other rules)

* touched
(Called out when the ball have been touched after being kicked which can effect what type of score)

*play on
(Not a free kick. Same as most sports I guess)

I remember seeing something a few weeks ago about AFL matches being commentated in Chinese (Here's an older article - I assume the radio station mentioned is 3CW). You could ask them for a recording, or try to contact the guy mentioned in the article.
