Why does your post repeatedly mention soccer? I'm not talking about Association Football anywhere, it's irrelevant to this discussion. Aussie and Gaelic are based on or depend upon or took influence from Rugby Football, not soccer.
The idea that Gaelic and Aussie were developed independently on opposite ends of the earth, in English-speaking crown colonies, and randomly just so happen to be compatible enough to play against each other be is absolutely barmy and I can't believe anyone is espousing it.
