There's something wrong here. If we're talking correct Australian English, then why is Australian Football attributed to the sport commonly known as Aussie Rules?
To use the term "Australian Football" is not to universally imply AFL.
Australian Football is the official name of Australian rules football. This is a noun, not an adjective. It is a joke to suggest otherwise. It the equivalent of redirecting "
Australian Crawl" to a page which says "crawling by Australians" or "Australians that crawl" with a disambiguation link to the article. Stupid and incorrect. --

Rulesfan I think you have a point. My earlier edits to the page were meant to provide a neutral disambiguation page which balanced the needs of Australian rules football, association football/soccer and other codes, but now I realise that this purpose is better served by
Football in Australia. Currently this page only serves as a duplicate disambiguation page, which requires one click to reach both
Australian rules football and the more useful disambiguation page,
Football in Australia. Because of this I am changing this page to a redirect to reflect its primary meaning, which is
Australian rules football. The Football in Australia page can still be reached in one click from there.
