PS. True football is the round ball kind

that's about 100 keystrokes you saved me typing. except that all league is boring. even state of oranges. nonetheless I'm going to use those keystrokes turning it all around - just for clarity

Soccer - Football (The only real football. starting to appeal to mainstream even though the Australian nation team is also known as Croatia A)
Rugby union - Rugby, Rah Rah (highbrow stuff - played on saturday - because sunday is for church)
AFL - Footy (or religion if your a Victorian)
Rugby League - ARl, League. (lowbrow stuff -played on sundays)

so the answer to your question, Spy.........

AFL is the only "footy" in Aus.
