World Footy News

Welcome to World Footy News - independent news and views from the international Australian Rules Football community.

World Footy News was created to foster awareness of Australian Rules Football ('footy' to those in its traditional homelands of southern and western Australia) around the globe and to aid communication between clubs, leagues and individuals playing and supporting Aussie Rules. Note that we do not seek to cover general football news within Australia, as there are numerous websites and other media dedicated to that.

We aim to provide independent news. Articles are moderated before posting. Our main regions of responsibility are:

Aaron Richard - Europe editor and site admin

Brett Northey - North America, Africa and Oceania editor

Jake Anson - Ireland and the UK editor

Julian Clark - Asia correspondent

Matt Morris - Tonga and Fiji correspondent

Wayne Kraska - Eastern USA correspondent
