BigFooty Family, we need your help. As you may (or, probably may have not) have heard, there are massive floods in Czechia, Romanian and Poland. One of the most affected cities in Nysa, a city of about 40,000 people (comparable to Warnambool) and they have an AFL team. Here's a photo of us...

Catching up with this now That's fantastic 😅 His name is Paweł Łysy (Last name pronounced wiss-ie) and arguably one of our best players. Can confirm that he has a decent head of hair, too.

Hey BigFooty Fam We're in the process of auctioning off a signed jersey by all the blokes that tried out for the national team this year. If you want to place a bid, you've just gotta comment on the Facebook post. If your bid is the highest come 3am Monday morning (7pm Sunday night here)...

Hit us up 👍

Dear Bigfooty family! The 2023 AFL Euro Cup is just around the corner. This year it will be held in Kiel, Germany on the 8th of July. Since our breakout performances in the 2022 Euro Cup (see posts above), AFL Poland has been gathering steam, and we plan to once again field both men’s and...

Better late than never. In Scotland, our men had the following results: Summary: The men's first game was against Switzerland. Not only was there a bit of a uniform clash to start the day, they came out all guns blazing as they found out at the 11th hour that their ruckman wouldn't able to...

So the Eurocup happened a few weeks ago, with both the men's and the women's teams. I'll work on a write up over the next few days about the men's, as well as a general update and I reckon MoscowHawk should do something similar for the women's team. In the mean time, we (and I, who is...

Here at the post-game coach presser, I'd like to say this. Today's friendly was a great example of what our boys can do when they dig deep. We got off to a good start and had plenty of the ball, but just couldn't kick it between the big sticks. Story of our life, really. The first quarter was...

To make things a little more 'visual':

There are TV stations like that, but the only air time we could afford would be at an absurd hour. Most of those channels are frequented by people aren't likely to get involved with the sport either. We've managed to find a recording crew who we'll work with next year to record a game and live...

Toruń is a beautiful city, one of my favourites. Truth be told, the Bydgoszcz team are struggling at the moment and are looking to 'merge/ with the wider Toruń area just to get more people into the game. And yeah, you're right, there's no way AFL will overtake soccer in Poland or anywhere in...

Keen. I'll speak to MoscowHawk and get things moving. However, you tagged him and I 10 pages ago. Is there anything that's happened in this thread between now and then that's pertinent to what we're doing?

Not far off it - The city of Wrocław, which is the capital of that 'region' is known for its gnomes. Unfortunately, 1) we already have an AFL team in Wrocław and 2), Katowice is the 'capital' of this team I guess you could say! That being said, love the entry!

I'd bend over backwards for a torrent of the Essendon series on Kayo. Living outside Australia, kayo doesn't work, even with a VPN

AFL Europe does that, but since we've been around it's only been an online course. But the biggest roadblock is the fact that it's run by Australians who have no experience speaking, let alone educating, people who speak English as a second language. They struggled to understand stuff like 'yeah...

Wosh this thread is secretly a Croatian thread

Right now, it's mostly Aussies that do it. I know there are a handful of German guys who have taken like a duck to water with umpiring and they're brilliant at it. But teaching umpiring to Poles is real tricky - they first need to learn the rules, and then what can and can't be done. Plus...

I'm flattered but that write up used a majority of my dozen brain cells 🥱

Gather round bretherin, and let me regale you with the story of Australian Football in Poland, featuring myself and MoscowHawk It all started way back in 2015 when an Aussie by the name of Gareth relocated from Melbourne to a central Polish city by the name of Bydgoszcz. He, along with a...

Careful, that'll get the entire Polish playing group signed up to bigfooty.

Noted. Hey guys, I'm Phil, or as they call me around here, Pfil, el presidente of AFL Poland. MoscowHawk regularly tells me how close of an eye you guys keep on what's happening here in Poland. Turns out I signed up to BigFooty a few years ago, but I'm only just starting to post now. I guess...
