Re: Australian Nationals
I was part of the innaugral AGA National Championships in Canberra in the late 90's. Haven't been back since 2001. Seems that AGA have got thier act together as this is the 3rd National series.

Re: Australian Nationals
you all suck
SA was so bad this year. too much polotics in who was playing. If we had a decent run and the best player plays it may have been different.

a new club for Sydney
not sure how many visitors to this board play football, let alone live in Sydney however, a new club will be making their debut in 2005 in the NSWGFL - North West Sydney Predators. the NSWGFL has been a revolving door for clubs but, there has been some stability in recent years and the new addition takes the total teams to 8. hopefully, it has the effect of growing the game rather than killing an existng club. so if you live in sydney and want to play football take your pick, virtually the whole of Sydney (ex north) is covered now.
Bondi Raiders (east)
North West Sydney Predators (carlingford)
Sutherland Seahawks (south)
Sydney University Lions (inner city)
UTS Gridiron (inner west - Concord)
UWS Outlaws (west - penrith)
West Sydney Pirates (south-west - Liverpool)
Wollongong Mustangs

Re: a new club for Sydney
just about every club has ex-college ex-pats who never went on (as we all know, most don't) but, are keen to continue playing. there are also players from oz who have never played the game. the league is competitive in that if you choose to play, then you have to be fair-dinkum about wanting to win. we play under NCAA rules so it is serious. the coaches put a lot into the comp and expect the players to return favour which we basically do.
the season in the NSWGFL runs from Sept to Dec, but pre-season training generally begins for most clubs around mid-June. the clubs initially separate (if not then they should) novices from the experienced player on a team so they get to learn the fundamentals of the game without feeling intimidated.

Re: australian leagues
There are actually 71 teams playing Gridiron in Australia. I've been playing with croydon (juniors) the last two season, not sure if i'll play the next one..
Every state has a comp, www.thebear.com.au and www.gridironaustralia.org.au are the two main sites to get all the info.
Note to people who want to see a game...
***** The Croydon Rangers will take on the Western Crusaders in one semi final and the Warriors will play the Blackhawks in the other semi final. Both matches will be played at Springfield Reserve (Mount Dandenong Road and Springfield Avenue, Croydon) on Sunday at 10:30am and 2:00pm. *****

Re: australian leagues
There definately is a league running in Metro Vic. Been happening for over 20 years. I was involved for 7 seasons (as an official). No reason why you need to miss out if you really want to get involved.DonAce said:I'd love to play some gridiron, but alas, i'm in Victoria.

Re: australian leagues
Is there only 5 teams in the Vic league now?
I remember in the mid-90s the Vic league played some games at Olympic park and had about 8-10 teams.
