About footy team names

Footy here means Australian rules football, and these are team names for everywhere the game gets played: fantasy sides in AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach, the office tipping comp where everyone picks the winners each round, pub and social teams, junior clubs and school carnivals. If you came looking for soccer names, the Soccer Name Generator is the page you want.

Most footy team names are puns on the game's own vocabulary. A high mark is a speccy or a hanger, so you get Speccy Makers and Hanger Management. The ruck gives Ruck and Roll, the torpedo punt gives Torp Gun, and a fend-off is a don't argue. Tipping entries play on the word tip (Tip Rats, Rubbish Tips, Tipped by the Dog), and fantasy coaches name their sides after their own suffering: Rage Trade, Donut Round, Wrong Captain Again.

The list also has country-league club names that pair an invented town with a classic mascot, such as Wattle Creek Bombers and Woop Woop Wanderers, barracker slang from the outer (Chewy on Ya Boot, Carn the Battlers), self-mocking wooden-spoon names and junior names like Little Rippers. The towns are made up on purpose, so check your own league before you print the jumpers.

How to choose footy team names

  • Match the name to the comp. Tip Rats or Nan Always Wins suits a tipping entry, Rage Trade or Bye Round Carnage a fantasy side, and Counter Meal Crew a pub team.
  • Fantasy and tipping platforms can cut a long name short, so keep it brief: Donut Round shows in full where Roos Loose in the Top Paddock may not.
  • For a real club or a junior side, use the country-league pattern of place plus mascot and put your own suburb or town in front, the way Saltbush Magpies does.
  • Wooden-spoon names age well. Spoon Collectors or Beaten by the Bye is funny whether you finish last or, to everyone's surprise, first.
  • If half your comp is new to the game, pick a pun that explains itself (Ruck and Roll, Snap Decisions) over deep slang like Chewy on Ya Boot.

Frequently asked questions

Is this for Australian rules football or soccer?

Australian rules football. In Australia footy usually means Aussie rules, or rugby league in New South Wales and Queensland, while in Britain it means soccer. The terms in these names (speccy, ruck, behind, torp) come from the Australian game.

What are some funny footy team names?

Hanger Management, Back Pocket Plumbers, Shepherd's Pie, Clangers and Mash, Dummy Spitters and Guernsey Cows are all in the list. Each one bends a real footy term, which is why they get a laugh from anyone who follows the game.

What is a good name for a footy tipping comp entry?

Play on the word tip or on how you pick: Tip Rats, Tipped Over, Tipping Point, Tipped by the Dog, Heart Over Head or Beaten by Nan. A tipping comp here means picking each round's winners for fun with workmates, family or friends.

Can I use these names for AFL Fantasy or SuperCoach?

Yes. Names like Rage Trade, Donut Round, Guns and Rookies and The Emergency Loophole are written for fantasy coaches. This site is not affiliated with the AFL, AFL Fantasy or SuperCoach, so follow each platform's own rules on name length and content.
