Europe Since I have arrived in Strasbourg the Kangourous have been comprehensively beaten by Montpelier at Haute Pierre, forfeited to Toulouse and again been solidly beaten by Lyon.
So how are the Kangourous travelling?



Having attented the 2010 Coupe de France I was interested to compare the situation with that of today. The Strasbourg Kangaroos were the second team in France after Paris but had to play in the AFLG for competition. With the addition of more French teams they changed to playing in the CNFA and were a strong team.

Irish IC14 representative Padraig Lucey scored a goal for Geelong in their narrow 8 point win over Richmond at Punt Road on Saturday. He also gave away four free kicks so there are definitely a few things for the big man to work on. He also managed 7 hit outs, 3 marks, 6 handballs and 2 tackles.

American Mason Cox went one better and notched two goals for Collingwood as he again played second fiddle to Witts in the ruck but still managed 14 hit outs as the Pies got the four points with a four point victory over Footscray.

We Want You! Odense Lions, Denmark

Europe

If you fancy yourself as a coach capable of changing the fortunes of a growing club in Europe - Denmark, to be exact - then the Odense Lions are looking for you.

According to club president Morten Merhoj “the Odense Lions footy club from Denmark is looking for a new coach from Australia to come and help us improve our club. “

Certainly this presents a fantastic opportunity for anyone with a coaching background and a desire to travel. The Odense Lions have grown steadily since their introduction to the DAFL a couple of years ago. Danish footy holds a special place on the European stage, winning last year’s Euro Cup in London and being a regular powerhouse on the bigger stage. The opportunity to be part of a successful club in a successful league in a country that has embraced the game would be highly attractive to many.

US AFL Combine run and done

The 2015 AFL US Combine in Brandton, Florida has wrapped up after three days of testing the tallest crop of American athletes so far.  Well mostly American.  The tallest John Crnogorac is from Sydney.  He would not be an international rookie as such if listed by an AFL club but a Category B Rookie (and not the first basketballer to be speculatively listed as such by an AFL club).  Crnogorac also would come with some Aussie rules knowledge (even as an NRL fan) and without the need to adjust to life in Australia. He has been playing college basketball in the US.

Jalen Carethers would seem to be the obvious choice for the AFL clubs that attended the Combine to select to come to the Australian draft Combine in October, or even earlier ala Mason Cox in 2014.  If for no other reason than his surname Daquan Holiday could be another selected to make the trip.

One thing we always hoped that our site would be valued for in time, was as a documented history of modern International Footy.  The site started in 2004 and we have had thousands of stories since then.  So what was happening 10 years ago this week at World Footy News? 
 
Jake Anson told us the AFL Club Melbourne would be hosting NZ at IC05, and the IC05 venues were announced at Port Melbourne, Wangaratta, Optus Oval and the MCG.
 
PNG won the U16 Qld Country Championships and Malcolm Blight was reported to have put up is hand to coach PNG in the IC05 Grand Final should they make it (they did make it and lost to NZ, as far as I recall Blight was not coaching).
