Apr 21, 2017 Season Preview Week 2017: Women's East & Central The emergence of women’s Aussie Rules football into the sporting consciousness of Australia has been a sight to behold. It emerged from the precipice and into the white hot spotlight in February when, after years of talk and planning, the first AFL Women’s season came and went in a resounding success. Following nearly in lockstep, the growth of the women’s game in the USA has been tremendous in the past two seasons. 2017 will see fourteen clubs field sides, and at least three more, Chicago, Des Moines, and Wisconsin, in development.

Apr 18, 2017 Season Preview Week 2017: Men's Western We’ve saved the largest grouping of men’s teams in the USAFL for last. It’s the biggest, the most expansive, and full of some of the best footy in the country. Since the first USAFL tournament in 1997, sixteen Division 1 Grand Finals have had at least one team from this region, and five deciders were all-Western affairs. The Denver Bulldogs have their names stamped all over the division, with a total of eight titles, including four on the trot from 2002-2005, and the San Diego Lions, winners in 2001 and 2006.

Apr 17, 2017 Season Preview Week 2017: Men's South Just like their Northern brethren, the southern part of the USAFL’s Central region has teams at the top echelon of talent, and others that are on the way up with constant improvement. At the top of the heap are the Austin Crows, two time defending Division 1 champion. Whether anyone can knock them off this year is up for a round table type debate. But teams like Dallas and Houston will be nipping at their heels, and always put together entertaining footy matches during the Texas Cup series. Read more » |

Apr 16, 2017 Season Preview Week 2017: Men's North They come from the land of the ice and snow, or at least that’s what the weather is like until April. The Northern part of the USAFL’s Central Region has benefited from the fact that there are a number of teams in the upper Midwest, and their relative proximity to them. That has forged some of the league’s greatest rivalries, friendly and otherwise, over the past 20 years. Read more » |

Apr 15, 2017 Season Preview Week 2017: Men's Eastern Our first region to preview is the East; eight teams with varying histories and fortunes. New York continued their dominance in season 2016, continuing to be the lead singer of the rock and roll band that is this grouping of clubs. There are improvements and strength coming from up and down the east, especially from the Nation’s capital, Boston, and the Florida gulf coast. Read more » |

A time of growth, and a time of change, a time of maturity. 20 years ago, this country had a handful of teams playing our great game.

Apr 2, 2017 The 2017 Arctic Cup (or How We Became Vikings in 72 Hours) "Who thought footy would bring me to f***ing Iceland?" says a chilly Ross Levesque, bitterly surveying his drenched apparel against a backdrop of rugged rocky terrain and steep dark hills rising in the distance. But it wasn't strictly footy that brought him to Iceland - rather, his brother Jay, whom Ross introduced to footy in 2003 and who is now a USA Revolution veteran, was the larger factor for Ross' short trip. The two faced off in the Arctic Cup, with Ross playing for a combination Swedish/Icelandic team and Jay for the Baltimore Washington Eagles. Read more » |
