No you're wrong! Even though it's not the number 1 sport yet in Australia although it's going to be sooner or later.
It's actually called football in Australia. the governing body of FOOTBALL (soccer) is FFA in Australia which stands for Football Federation Australia.
On TV especially SBS the football people call it football not soccer unlike in the USA where they call it soccer.
The football season which has just finished this season actually was very exciting with the new team called western sydney wanderers which debuted this season won the Australian league on its first season. It was a fairytale stuff.
The supporters were arguably the most passionate and wherever they played especially at home even away the stadium were always full or almost. The atmosphere rivals that of football played in european competition.
I think rugby league and AFL better watch out, there's a new kid in town and it's called football and it's staying for good and going to get better. even the media is taking notice.
