Talk:Australian rules football/version 2

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?

Australian football is football played by Australians. --Debunct 15:34, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Where are you from, Debunct? Grant65 | Talk 10:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree Debunct. The sport you are referring to is Association football. TheRealAntonius 12:23, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So by this logic, American Football should have a similar disambiguation page ???? The common name of American football is "gridiron". This page is complete rubbish. --Rulesfan 04:27, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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 07:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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.
