Marn Grook, marn-grook or marngrook (also spelt Marn removed[1]) is the popular collective name for traditional Indigenous Australian football games played at gatherings and celebrations by sometimes more than 100 players.
These games featured punt kicking and catching a stuffed ball. They involved large numbers of players, and were played over an extremely large area. The game was subject to strict behavioural protocols: for instance all players had to be matched for size, gender and skin group relationship.

However, to outside observers the game appeared to lack a team objective, having no real rules or scoring system.
A winner could only be declared if one of the sides agreed that the other side had played better.
