get the ball out of the goal net
It seems to refer to the goal net, which is made of netting, looking like the bag that onions are sold in. So I suppose it is something you'd say when you are kicking the ball into the goal net.

The bag which you carry the balls in
The bag you carry the balls in when you go to training is called the onion bag.
It looks like an onion bag.

I have 4 of them and I use them for carrying everything, markers, balls, medical kit, and Tag Footie kits.. I am always telling the players to stay out of my onion bags. I usually loose about 4 balls a year.... they have legs I am sure..

I have always called it a Onion bag as it is the same size and in the begining I used to use one. It is so you can see what is in the bag, as opposed to a closed bag.

: It does come across as a bit arrogant to use CL5 then post a 'disagree' on the only rival, especially when the other has more references than a few pictures of netting sports bags...

I have been coaching Football in Au for 18years, and I call my ball bag a onion bag. An onion bag is 15kg and the ball bag is the same size.. so I call it what it is. If it is different in another part of the world ..so be it
