Footy in Canada?

[fugitive]

Hey guys do you know where to find Aussie rules stuff in Canada?
I know AFANA mentioned that Fox Sports World are going to drop footy from their coverage this year.

Is there some community group or something in Canada for Aussie rules fans?

What part of Canada are you from? Check out www.windsormariners.com. If you're in the Windsor area, we'd like you to check us out and see if you can get involved with the club (I'm the secretary and webmaster. And yes, I do live in the US but with Windsor being on the border with Detroit and all, I don't live that far away)

Whatever happened to the Detroit Overdrive - their site seems to just link to the Windsor Mariners. Was it a merger, or just easier to move ober the river and play in the Ontario league?

Players decided they didn't want to show up. When the OAFL approached some Windsor contacts, they (the OAFL as well as the USAFL) wanted to use Windsor as a springboard of getting back into Detroit. The Windsor team can play against US teams as Detroit even though they're Windsor.

The reason why the Overdrive site points to Windsor is because I owned the Overdrive site and was too cheap to purchase outright hosting for Windsor as well as Detroit. When Detroit gets up and running again there'll be a neat little splash screen that will allow the user to jump betwixt the two cities.

London Rhinos I'd heard about, but who are South Etobicoke?

And who're the expansion team in BC?
