    Great to see that the 49th Parallel Cup is back for 2026! Will be really interesting to see the make up of all four teams post their last international outing in Toronto in 2024. Imagine all teams will see a good turnover of players, with players retiring, injured or moving away. Interested in...

    Whilst 18's is the aim in AFLO, it is pretty common for 16's to be played due to numbers for particpating clubs. Thus it could be that the Canada Champs turns into a 16's tournament. Still remains that clubs may struggle depending on timing and play availabilty. The idea of having a reserves...

    I am sure AFL Canada will be working hard to try and find a way to get clubs from all acorss the country involved. The two biggest barriers would have been cost and footy fatigue after long seasons. This will be the biggest challenge - finding a time that clubs from all over can commit to, and...

    I think everyone involved in the event understood that missing a large number of teams, particularly the Vancouver teams, took some gloss away from what was a great step in the right direction. Out of interest, what would your suggestion be for creating said truly national event? Timing...

    It is great in the AFLO to have a 10 game 18-a-side regular season stretching from End of May to End of August. Yet once the season ends I think everyone is ready for it to be done. So the timing of a National Champs really does need to be looked into. Weather in Toronto that weekend was great...

    We did chat about it briefly on the day. I would like to think that we would, but would all depend on timing. We even saw that post a long season (10 regular games over summer plus 3 rounds of finals in Sept) players were burnt out & injured and our numbers for the Champs dropped from 24 with...

    I think the AFL Mens Champs was a first pass at creating an national event, and it went as well as could be expected with short planning and turn around time. I think everyone who participated would have loved for the Vancouver teams to have travelled, and only they will know why they decided...

    Totally fair and reasonable comment! It certainly would detract from determining the champions of USAFL for that season. Nationals is extremely well run and the support it gets externally and internally is impressive. I am sure AFL Canada is looking to emulate that with the Championships that...

    Would have to agree with this comment - especially on the travel. Even after a long season here in AFLO another full weekend of games is a lot. Injuries late in the season will hurt teams full complement of players. Great to see it coming in as something different to the USAFL Nationals...
