nickname change please
It appears that some eastern staters call rugby league "footy".
this is extremely misleading.
to avoid confusion as only Australian football should be called footy by Aussies, please call your game something else.
I suppose "Handy" may be a bit derogatory, but it is far more appropriate.
Perhaps a rugby league fane can think of an appropriate nickname for the game.
Thanks for your consideration and support.

BeAussie, thanks for the kind words, but I really do have an issue with the monority (morons in the minority)who misuse the Australian term of "footy".
I reckon Diggers would turn in their grave to witness such Un-Australianism. Perhaps they will call the game (which by all accounts is loved by Kiwis), "Newy", "Zealy", maybe even "thuggy" (probably too close to the truth, hey?!), whatever, just for them not to bastardise Australia's national game.

The Australian Football League is once again having to defend itself over its handling of rape allegations against its players.
An Australian woman has accused former AFL player, Adam Heuskes, of raping her in a London hotel room, while four of his then Brisbane Lions teammates watched on. The woman claims the incident happened in October 1999, when the club was on an end of season trip.
Ten months later, in an unrelated incident, Heuskes faced a charge of raping another woman outside an Adelaide nightclub.
The claims are made in tonight's edition of Four Corners on ABC television.
Heuskes now plays for a suburban Adelaide football club, and has refused to comment, as Alison Caldwell reports.
ALISON CALDWELL: The woman referred to as "Sarah" claims that on October the 6th, 1999, she caught up with a Brisbane Lions team member in a London pub. A friend of her boyfriend since high school, his team was in town on an end of season football trip.
She claims that night at the pub she had to resist the advances of another Brisbane player, Adam Heuskes. With her home some two hours away, her friend invited her to stay in his room that night.
Sarah says she fell asleep, but three hours later that night, she claims she was raped by player while at least four of his Brisbane Lions teammates watched on.
In March this year, Adam Heuskes was named, along with Peter Borgoyne and Michael O'Loughlin, as the three players who contributed to a reported $200,000 payment to the Adelaide woman as part of a confidentiality agreement.

The culture around your sport is diabolical, and makes me ashamed that the sport markets itself as "Aussie Rules".. an embarrassment to all Australians....

Pulling a knife on a woman... what a hero....Sampi charged over alleged assault
West Coast Eagles player Ashley Sampi is facing criminal charges over a domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
Morley detectives charged the 22-year-old with assault and possessing a weapon after interviewing him last night.
The charges relate to an incident at Sampi's home in Morley on Monday night, involving the player's girlfriend and another woman.
The Eagles say it is a sensitive personal situation and the club will try to help Sampi with counselling.
The news is another blow for the Eagles, who are still grappling with the fall-out from the Ben Cousins booze bus affair.
Cousins relinquished the club captaincy and has been charged by police after allegedly abandoning his car in front of a roadside breath test site in suburban Perth last month.
