Another name for Australian rules football?
In Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, and Northern Territory Australian rules football is simply known as Football and colloquially Footy. In the states where rugby league is more common, NSW and Queensland, the sport is sometimes erroneously call 'AFL'. This comes because the national competition is called the AFL - Australian Football League. This shouldn't happen because AFL is the name of the competition, not the sport.

Is football in Australia soccer in the US?
No. In Australia, the term "Football" [colloquially "footy"], mainly refers to the Australian football game, also called, "Aussie Rules". Even in the two states that play much more rugby than Australian football, they do not reference soccer with the word 'football' - the 150+ year tradition within Australia has therefore long been to be speaking of either Australian football or one of the rugby codes - 'league or union' when football is mentioned. The only change that has occurred is that the major soccer / "association football" league in Australia has changed its own lead name from "Soccer" to include the word "Football", but certainly, neither the general populous, nor the culture as a whole refers to soccer by the term football. The chief governing body of Australian Football has long been named, "The Australian Football League". The true name of the soccer brand of football, by the way, is actually "Association Football".
