This story slipped under the radar from early August, and alas, the video link seems defunct (Ed. it worked for me). From August 2nd, the Australia Network News reported AFL dream for Nauru footy players.
Over in Perth, the WAFL Grand Final on the weekend just gone was one for the ages. A classic game of Australian Football. It also helped the WAFL record a second successive record season for attendances.
Andrew Krakouer provided further momentum to his case for a recall to AFL ranks with a 40 possession 4 goal BOG performance in the WAFL Grand Final.

Last Sunday night the Australian 60 Minutes featured a piece by Australian TV stalwart Ray Martin on the rise of Aussie Rules globally. The primary focus of the story was the AFL's efforts to recruit players from South Africa, Ireland and the (Australian) Tiwi Islands. Although nothing particularly new was revealed, it is a high profile television show so gives good publicity to the game's spread.
![]() | This weekend at Portobello Rugby Club, Edinburgh, the Scottish Australian Rules Football League (SARFL) Grand Final will be contested between 6 times winners Edinburgh Old Town Bloods and the Glasgow Sharks. The following courtesy of the SARFl's Douglas Hunter. This promises to be a hard fought contest between two evenly matched teams. Edinburgh have been the stand out team in the league this season and go into the final with no defeats and are slight favourites having been unbeaten during the league season. Glasgow have been improving with every game and are the league’s top point scorers with two high scoring and impressive wins over the Aberdeen Dingoes. The match will begin at 2.30pm on Saturday the 18th. Prior to the match there will be an exhibition match at 12.30pm between the Aberdeen Dingoes and a SARFL select team. This match is an opportunity for Scottish players to push for a place in the national team for the Aussie Rules Euro Cup in October and a two test series against England, also in October, which should add to the intensity of the match. This promises to be the most exciting Grand Final yet, so come along and join in the fun and excitement of Aussie Rules, Scottish style. | ![]() |
In a recent article WFN profiled Graeme “the kid” Wilson and his work with footy in the Solomon Islands.

We just touched upon young Freddie Una, the ‘rising star’ of the Solomons footy program who flew the flag in the South Pacific team in the recent U16 Nationals. Here we feature an article that goes into greater depth on Freddie.
