Another option (and to steer clear of the New Year's public holiday) is the 9th of May.
On that date (in 1901) was the opening of the Commonwealth Parliament, so the Australia Day focus could turn more to a discussion about our democracy?
Actually, GB has greater depth when taking in participation numbers from AFL London, Scotland, Wales, the National Universities League and other independent teams (like Nottingham).
The Irish quality is what stands out, especially their Gaelic Football background and how well that has proven in...
Nope, baseless comments from yourself.
Name the European countries (individually) that could challenge Ireland, and any evidence that could back-up your belief.
"Good wins"??!!
Only one goal was kicked against them all tournament, and they beat the GB Swans (IC17 Semi-Finalists) by 115 points in the Grand Final!
And with North America? With respect to my USAFL friends, the USA Freedom doesn't move the ball anywhere near as well as the Irish (see...
Ireland now though is way too powerful for the other sides, if you go on the recent AFL European Championships results.
HOWEVER, as always, it's dependent on what players can take 3 weeks off and travel to Australia for the International Cup.
Actually, the USAFL is better than your description!
The USAFL's gets a person unfamiliar with our sport to start to imagine what it looks like. It doesn't say it takes everything from the other sports, but elements.
Your generic description is vague. If you asked someone who has never seen...
Will probably see all other tournaments pushed back a year then.
USA was meant to play GB in 2021 and 2024. If IC23 moves to 2024, that will probably see the European Championship moved from 2022 to 2023.
I'm with the earlier thinking that the announcement was done poorly, and had little impact.
This should have had Gil, along with a Queensland state government minister, do a small presser at the Gabbag, announcing the Sunshine Coast as host of the preliminaries rounds and the Gabba hosting the...
There was concerns around Pakistan, hanging over from their 2017 appearance, due to poor tour coordination from their end (last minute Visas, accommodation screw up, etc) and they fact they only kicked one goal for the whole tournament (getting smashed by every side).
From a casual chat I had...
It's believed the other bidder was a Melbourne/Ballarat bid (something like early rounds in Ballarat and finals in Melbourne).
It's also believed that the cap will be 16 men's teams (8 in each division) and 8 women's teams.
Most likely the eight women's teams are...
1. Ireland - CONFIRMED
2...
Yesterday I caught up with 17 of the women taking part in the Crosscoders program.
Most are from Ireland, with two from the USA, two from the UK and one each from Fiji, Canada and France.
Oh, and in a scratch match between the Internationals and some Victorian draft hopefuls... the...
On this week's Women's Australian Rules Football Podcast, we chatted with AFL England Preisdent Jason Hill about Crosscoders.co
It's a new partnership between the Western Bulldogs, AFL England and AFL Ireland Women's, where at the end of a rookie camp in late September, one international...
And the ARFLI sides recruited them from Gaelic teams. The ARFLI women's comp ain't a strong regular competition like over in London. They only play every so many weeks.
Wouldn't take a lot for a split to occur and an international body to be formed.
If the USA, Canada, Great Britain and Ireland work as a block, that's almost half the men's division one and the top half of the women's division.
Wouldn't be too hard from their to convince some of the smaller...
One point raised about the IC Grand Finals was why not play them after the AFL matches. General feel from the nations that did/would have made the final is that some of the AFL crowd would have stuck around to watch a bit, rather than show up hours earlier to watch a curtain raiser.
Mail is the...
Tomorrow the Women's IC14 match between Ireland and USA Liberty at Plenty Park will be broadcast on VWFLRadio.com
Broadcast of the match should be from around 2pm, after the VWFL Diamond Creek v Melbourne Uni game has concluded.
At the moment only one commentator is slotted in to call (me!)...
Plus, who wants to pay $5,000 to travel to the other side of the world (here) to have their backsides handed to them.
If you were to lose, you'd rather lose to teams near your standard and have a competitive match.
Blow outs make players think twice about making the trip next time round.
In addition to the above game, it also looks like VWFLRadio.com will be covering the following two women's matches at Royal Park...
Monday 18th August from 10.30am - Ireland v Canada Midnight Suns
Wednesday 20th August from 9.30am - USA Freedom v Fiji
I can confirm (on behalf of VWFLRadio.com) that we will be broadcasting a VWFL/IC14 double-header in the community round.
On Saturday 16th August, we'll be on-air for the Diamond Creek v Melbourne Uni VWFL Premier Division match, and then will roll into calling the Ireland v USA Liberty match...
