AFL Vanuatu is born, and uses Tonga trip to announce itself

It's a tough call isn't it. AUD$30,000 is a lot to raise. Would the payoff be enough? The same AUD$30,000 could do so much in Vanuatu instead of spent on travel, but then WOULD that money ever get raised then?

Germany have a regular league but continue to not attend the International Cup, with the main argument (I believe) being the money would be better spent on the league in Germany - but is it? Probably not. But would there be a post-IC let down if they did attend? Maybe.

I'd love to see Germany and Vanuatu in 2011, but each nation has to decide what is best for itself.

I believe that the AFL(world ruling body) could not go wrong by funding interest free loans to the developing nations and leagues to assist in cases like these. Obviously the loans can't be larger than the league's ability to repay it, and the repayment time tuned to the league's size and income. The size of the loans could have to match funding raised by the borrowing league and the purpose be one with good prospects of growing AFL(the code) in the recipient league or country.
A case in point was the recent attempt by Croatia AFL to 'build' an oval, I know it didn't go ahead for reasons other than funding and they had raised a good part of the money needed and if circumstances hadn't changed an interest free loan could have set up the first dedicated oval in Eastern Europe.
The added bonus is that the AFL will actually get its money back eventually and will also earn bank interest on the borrowers repayments.
