World Footy Rankings - the inaugural list

What exactly are the qualification criteria? If it is number of games against international teams, or games under the current international eligibility rules, then Australia don't qualify. Australia have only ever played against Ireland in International Rules games, which is not Australian Football.

Also, given that IC2011 is in August, this is toward the end of most domestic seasons, and you would be hard pressed to find decent clubs that would release players to participate, therefore even the assumption that an Australian team would win by default is unfounded.

Dantez, there was no criteria that said Australia would have to be able to field a team at IC2011 to be the best side. But if you really want to fit to that tight criteria, do you honestly think that Australia could not assemble the best team, anywhere anytime?

The top international sides are improving steadily and play good quality footy, but there are probably 10,000+ quality footballers in Australia that could slip into those sides, so I'm sure Australia could find a handy 22 even during finals. There's over 100,000 senior footballers in Australia. I'm curious, are you from Australia yourself, are you aware of the standard of top suburban and country leagues in Australia?
