World 9s in Europe this year?

I don't think there's too many people that want to dig up the past regarding the various incarnations of the IAFC. People from all sides of that debate have said that it's better to move forward.

I don't believe we have many details yet of exactly what the WAFF's purpose or intent is, whether it wants to be world governing body, or a local development body, or what's behind the decision. WFN writers may have their own personal opinions, but I wouldn't claim it's the role of WFN as a whole to judge whether it is a "rogue" body or not, that's for the Australian Football playing nations to decide. As to whether it is AFL endorsed, I wouldn't be surprised if reading this is the first they've heard of it.

Question on 9's tournaments. Are there any held in Australia?

I've thought it'd be cool to have some held as pre-season lightning premiership style tournaments (esp for us at D4 VAFA where often the cricketers are still involved in finals or end of season trips and numbers aren't always that great)

I also figure there should effectively be a world 9's cross-promotion (via a local tournament) to further publicise the international element of footy to grass roots people in Australia.

Do you reckon it might be something worth looking in to?
