'The footy' - is the ball, but just plain 'Footy' is the game - and here in
Victoria it refers to Aussie Rules football.
This is a game something like Gaelic football, but the Irish play with a
round ball, and the Aussies play a different version with an oval ball.
In other areas of Oz, I think Footy may be referring to Rugby in one or
other of it's forms.
It all gets very confusing, doesn't it?!!! :)
Worse than Lacemaking with it's different terms - workers, weavers, walkers,
leaders, and runners!!!!!!!!!!! :))
