It is not certain who the prime person or prime people were to invent the game, but the credit is generally given to Thomas Wentworth "Tom" Wills (19 August 1835 - 2 May 1880); who in 1959, drew up the first formal rules of play for the MCC.
However, it appears that various forms of the game had been played for some 15 to 20 years prior.

In Australian slang Aerial pingpong means?
AFL, Australian Football League. Aussie Rules. The local version of football, played on an oval field with an oval ball and 4 posts at each end for scoring (6 points and 1 point). The only other game like it is Gaelic football, played in Ireland. "Aerial Ping Pong" is so called because the ball spends a lot of time in the air after having been kicked by a player or thrown in by an Umpire, with the players jumping up to catch (mark) it, and is usually a derisive term applied to AFL by those states that traditionally play Rugby instead of Aussie Rules.

Is Gaelic football Irish or Scottish?
Answer 1Gaelic Football's origins would be older. Variations of football would have been brought to Australia, including early versions of Soccer, Rugby and Gaelic Football. An Australian Rules type of game would have been played in the 1840s. That would be much later than the earliest variations of Gaelic Football, which can go back in some forms to the 1600s and in even earlier forms to the 1300s.Answer 2In terms of "codified" rules, the Australian game is the older of the two: Australian football rules having been officially drawn up and codified in 1958 and Gaelic in 1887 ... by the way, soccer was codified in 1861, which was also after Australian football.Rugby was mainly played within the Rugby School for its first decade or two. Rugby had just begun spreading in Britain at the point Australian football was being codified in Melbourne.As it was the intent of the prime inventors of Aussie Rules to come up with a game of their own invention, it is doubtful that any of these games carried very far into the original idea of Australian football at all. Even before the 1959 on-paper formation of the game, various Aussie Rules football games had already been occurring over the previous 20 years.Conclusion: Despite all the speculation, As people have been throwing, catching and kicking balls and other objects around for 100's of years as part of a natural course of recreation with one another and playing various football-type informal games, it is Highly doubtful any of these more formalized codes had anything much to do with the formation of Australian football at all!
