I find my self sypathetic to Jens comments, but I note that in my League Nimbin have more often than not been thrashed by 100 pts or more yet still turn up every year. So maybe we should look at a 2 division, but with a cup for both! it would give the up and comming an insentive to play against simmilar standard teams and perhaps may be later a mirical may happen that the AFL puts more time and lot more effort into these countries. May be some of these men would like to come and play in our league and we can learn from each other, Nimbin had Americans play for them, we have had Danish, Canadian, Irish Coolie have PNG players. Its worth a thought.

Which Summerland club do you play for, Peter?

Coolie will have some French guys joining them very soon for some pre-IC Australian experience. Presumably will be in the senior 3rds, playing in the Summerland league.

Howdy Peterc.

I suspect Nimbin might be similar to a small country town in South Australia called Callington whose football team quite regularly makes the Statewide press because they are on the tail end of the biggest thrashings in football in the state, often 30goal and even 40goal to nil type loses, and they keep turning up for more of the same the next year. Why? Probably many reasons including, nothing else to do other than spend the afternoon drinking in the pub, catch up with their mates and have something to talk about other than work, save the footy club from dying, but the one reason really relevant to this discussion, they've played footy all their lives and so they keep turning up for all those other reasons, its part of their culture.

The teams that are competing in the IC (especially the newcomers) are largely people who have only recently taken up the game and obviously enjoyed the experience and have become proficient enough to be able to represent the nation(fledging tho it may be at the sport) at the IC. The IC's are however to some degree showcasing footy on the International "Stage" and although the players all wish to play their best and also against some of the best players around 200 to nil games do none of the stakeholders(players, teams, the IC nor footy itself) any favours.
