It will not surprise the readers of this journal that the Scots had a significant influence on the code of football most Australians probably still call soccer. What is less well known is their positive and negative impact on the domestic code, known by outsiders as Australian Rules, but internally by fiat of the Australian Football League as Australian football. This is a much more complex story involving massacres of Indigenous people, but also supporting them at a time when the majority of the incomers regarded them as less than human. Scots played a vital part in the origin and early history of the Australian code and on both sides of the big split over professionalism in the 1890s. Scots were the first to form soccer clubs based on the communities and allegiances from which they had come rather than geographical districts in Australia, with implications for image of the game and its place in Australian society thereafter
