Final World Rankings prior to IC11

Brett.

I think we have the weighting of 2 for the IC's cause it's the closest thing to "World Cup" that Australian Rules Football has, and in time that is what it would become I hope. All the nations that have taken part in the previous IC's I reckon have considered it to be the pinnacle of International Footy. I think that the international community have even more regard for it now than ever before. I think it is no longer seen as just a footy trip to Australia by anybody, anymore. To a man(and woman:-)) the combatants now all see themselves as the National Team playing for the highest prize in International Aussie Rules Footy I reckon.

As to the inclusion of the 'lightning carnival' matches it depends on how credible we think the Ranking scheme is and If we truly want it to be the arbiter of world footy at the "gold standard" as you put it, or not. My opinion is, to be as '18 carat or close to as possible. Hopefully that will be an incentive for those nations that are not yet in the ranks to inspire to. But to dilute it just to get them on board would be an insult to those that are on it now.

A dilema!!!!!!!!
