Who and/or what is AFL Pacific?

Is it a regional equivalent of AFL Europe and/or is it a fully constituted body, and if so, how does it operate?

Who are its members/member leagues and/or officers?

No, nothing like AFL Europe which is an independent body set up by the Leagues in Europe although which receives support from the AFL.

We've talked about them before but no real specifics in the last few years. I believe AFL Game Development allocates some of its international resources into a sub-department (my words) called AFL Pacific (although sometimes referred to as AFL Asia-Pacific) which involves staff based out of AFL Queensland such as Andrew Cadzow and uses some of its funding towards events like the Oceania championships etc.

I doubt it's gone beyond that set-up but it would be interesting for Michael to catch-up with Cadz and see what the current arrangement is, what their brief is and exactly what regions it takes in.

Thanks Brett.
Maybe the nations in the region could band together and set up a formal regional Association similar to AFL Europe, it would be a great step in the right direction for development of footy in the region, with the backing of the AFL (world ruling body) of course.
Not quite on topic, but I wonder about the chances of the Solomon Islands getting to IC14 following the disasters (flooding and now earthquake) that occurred in the islands a few weeks ago. Honiara and surrounding areas copped a huge amount of damage apparently. The country surely wouldn't have a lot of money to send the Supercats to Aussie this year.
