I haven't looked at you site yet, but "im severely dissappointed in Wiki.
Wiki acknowledge that the name of our game is "Australian Football" yet proceed to at every instance to call it "Australian Rules Football" or "Aussie Rules" etc etc. Wiki blindly refuses to budge on this most basic of transgressions. The football we Know is played in football leagues by football clubs or Australian Football clubs.
Their are no "Rules" leagues or clubs. They don't exist. In fact the last thing you would call Australian Football is "Rules" because simply there are none - they are laws. Australian Laws Football. Not to mention that "rules" is redundant. If it's Australian Football then wouldn't the rules be Australian? Do people call Australian soccer "Cambridge Rules". Pfft. Good luck with your project.

Are you referring to Wikipedia??

[cos789]

Since you brought that point up, overseas people refer to our game as Australian Football any mention of "rules" is confusing.

It's always been Australian Rules Football in Victoria as long as I can remember.

So can you name any "rules" leagues or clubs?
You do know the meaning of colloquial don't you?
WTF would you refer to a sport by it's colloquial name when you you have it's formal and correct name which also happens to be shorter and neater? That is the question.

When you type "aussie rules" into google, the first page that comes up is

AFL - The official site of the Australian Football League - AFL.com.au
www.afl.com.au/The official site of the Australian Football League. All the latest AFL news, AFL live scores, AFL previews and AFL match reports, AFL fixtures, AFL results, AFL ...
AFL Fixture - Match Centre - 2012 AFL Premiership Ladder - Teams

It's been called Aussie Rules as far back as I can remember.

You are free to call it anything you like. Matter of fact, how you could call anything football where most of the work is done by hand is beyond me. Then again calling baseball world series, because it is played in the States is also beyond me. A Tour de France that starts in The Netherlands, England, Switzerland, Belgium or Italy, is the biggest joke of all. And calling football (voetball, fussball or whatever language you feel comfortable in) soccer, must be worse.

We call it Aussie Rules, or Australian Rules, or Australian Rules football. We know, we live here. What you call it, is entirely up to you.

Good luck explaining it your way. Try and get out of bed on the other side sometime.

So...................

"Australian Football" is shorter and neater than "Aussie Rules"???????

Really????

Good luck with proving that one.

Not only are you demonstrably wrong, but it's also an issue that nobody else cares about and affects absolutely nothing. Congratulations, you attained the triforce of fail.

[cos789]

We call it Aussie Rules, or Australian Rules, or Australian Rules football.

Yes, those are colloquial references. I just call it football.
But if you want to be correct and formal it's Australian Football.
Just like Gridiron is the colloquial name for American Football.

[cos789]

Not only are you demonstrably wrong,

Nobody has demonstrated the existance of an "Australian Rules Football" league or club.
