Why is a field goal no good if it is higher than the uprights in football?

Yes. The uprights mark the width of the scoring area, which extends infinitely upward. In modern NFL football, the uprights have been increased in height, and a rule change for extra-point conversions has reduced the number of these kicks that have to be adjudicated because they pass so high above the goalposts.

What is a goal in Aussie Rules called?

It is called a Goal. It is worth 6 points. The minor score of a 'Behind' worth 1 Point is awarded for a kick between the main uprights and the outer lower uprights. 1 Point is also awarded if a kick through the Center Uprights is touched in flight by an opposing team player or if it touches the uprights in flight. In other words to get the 6 points it must go untouched between the center uprights.
