The height of the hoops, 10 foot above the ground, means the men's and women's games will be quite different as dunking and tip-ins are always going to be a rarity in the women's game. But there are no such structural issues for Aussie Rules. The 50m arcs don't have any significance in the rules and can be painted at 45m or any other distance anyway. The ball used in the women's game is size 4.5 rather than 5 to favour longer kicking. Apart from that, everything else is the same. A lot of people prefer local footy to AFL even though the play is less ballistic.
