Since the end of March, that has been a few USAFL matches here and there, with teams either shaking off the winter cold or preparing for the long seasonal journey with training matches, metro games, and the odd AFLX carnival.
This weekend, however, things kick into high gear.
Nine events across the USA -- including two up in Maple Leaf Land -- punctuate this weekend's Aussie Rules activities. Attached to each event is the Facebook event page, which will have up-to-date information on venue, start times, and game status should there be inclement weather.
