Metro Footy

Season:  March 30 - September 28, 2008

The Portland Power will continue its successful local metro league series in 2008 with an expanded 9-game series.  The matches will be played by two teams drawn from the Portland Power: the Greens and the Mongrels.  The Greens took out the 2007 title so the Mongrels will be looking for revenge in 2008.

Due to very successful recruiting in the off-season, both teams will have strong rosters this season although new players of any experience level are always welcome.  

The metro league is designed to allow new and existing players alike to play games regularly without the reciprocal travel required for matches against teams in other cities.

The matches will be 9-a-side games played on soccer or American football fields with 4x15-minute quarters with 5-minute breaks after Q1 and Q3 and a 10-minute break after Q2.  The playing rules will be the same as for regular 18-a-side Australian Football.  If we have excess player numbers, it is possible to expand the matches to 10 or 11-a-side on the same field so everyone should get a lot of field time.

If you have any questions about the 2008 metro league, please contact Ben.
