Apr 6, 2016 2016 Season Preview - Men's Central North In the beginning, there was light. It shone, flickering and grainy on TVs across the country, a game played a half a world away that was unlike any other. And it was good. And lo, the light begat two teams separated by a mighty flow of water, in the city of Queens and Kings alike. And Kings begat Bombers and Kangaroos, and Dockers begat Jackaroos and Swans. And the game grew across the land for years and years into what it is today. And it is, as it was, good. Read more » |

Apr 5, 2016 2016 Season Preview - Men's East At one time, the Eastern region could be compared to the Beatles; three talented lead musicians, a steady fourth keeping pace, and a rotating cast of cameos. Over the past two years, however, the remains of the EAFL have become a solo artist and a backing band. New York has been the best team on the Eastern seaboard for over a half decade, and though they have lost some of the luster that shone through when they were Divvy 1 champs in 2014, they are still center stage.

Feb 23, 2016 Between the Posts: All of the Footy. I want to say I've had some time to reflect on the weekend now that this is my second Monday of the week, but everything has been such a whirlwind the past 36 hours so I haven't had time to really digest the situation. Arriving at the Sydney airport led to my frantic 2 hour sprint around the building because I found out I didn't have an actual ticket to get home (shout out to Cyclone Winston), so I didn't have time to really gather my bearings before the long sleep in the air.

Feb 22, 2016 Kickin' with Klatt: The One the Day After I've now had a day to sit back and reflect on the big day. To first go over it a bit, I'll say that it was a really fun time and a great experience. The morning session was all fitness testing. I was middle of the pack (of about 50 girls) for all of them, as I expected, although my 20m sprint was on the better end. So those results were no surprise to me. Read more » |

Feb 20, 2016 Kickin' with Klatt: The One the Day Before Well, tomorrow is the big day. It hadn't really hit me yet - so far, it's just felt like an awesome vacation. The realization hit me like a truck tonight though, as I was packing up for the morning. Read more » |

Feb 13, 2016 Hemenway Looks to Lead the Way in Sydney Kim Hemenway generally likes to grab life by the ball. First it was soccer, then it was basketball, and eventually footy. She continuously has challenged herself in sport, and in life, and for the most part has been very successful. Last season, she led her New York Magpies to its best season in their history, and was arguably the best player in the league. In seven seasons since discovering the sport on Craiglist, of all places, she has become one of the most well-rounded Aussie Rules players this country has seen. Read more » |

Feb 6, 2016 Between the Posts: Footy. In less than two weeks, I will be hitting the skies and heading to Sydney, Australia, for the AFL Women's Talent Search. If you aren't sure what that is, think NFL combine for athletes who didn't play football in college. We will be tested in a variety of fitness areas, including a 20m sprint, a running vertical jump, a standing vertical jump, the AFL agility test, and the ever lovely beep test. For those of you who aren't sure what a beep test entails, just imagine running back and forth through the 7th circle of Hell and you'll be pretty close to spot on. Read more » |

Jan 30, 2016 Kickin' With Klatt - An Unexpected Footy Journey In 2013, Katie Klatt moved to Sacramento, California, to begin her career as a registered nurse at the University of California-Davis Children’s Hospital. Little did she know that a move to answer one calling would spawn another; this time as an Australian Rules football player. Klatt didn’t even know about Footy until she happened upon a YouTube video of the sport. Just two years later, she has become one of the USAFL’s best defensive players, and has risen to the role vice-captain for both the Sacramento Suns and the USA Freedom national team. Now, she’s preparing to take an even bigger leap. Read more » |
