DAY ONE:
Players arrived at the stadium early this morning in anticipation of the games to play ahead. Two rounds of games were played before the opening ceremony,
which was MC by Jack McEwin who did an outstanding job and the competition was officially opened by Henry Grey, Principal of Leanyer Primary school.

Many teams had only just come together in the morning games, as students have travelled in from different areas. Those teams not playing had an opportunity to scratch up on their skills with sessions run by the AFLNT crew. Most students participating are very excited about playing at TIO stadium and are looking forward to playing some excellent games of footy.

Tomorrow will see all teams finish the round robin competition and be divided into Pool's Tambling and Campbell's. Teams will also have an opportunity for a PD session and a chance at an AFL quiz.

Many students have begun to develop new friendships through their billeting families and also through playing against each other.
 
 

DAY TWO:
Day two saw teams come out fighting for positions in pool groups Tambling Tumblers or Campbell's Chaos, by completing
the round robin games.

In the morning students had opportunity to participate in PD sessions with Natalie McMaster, who demonstrated various ways to stretch correctly for sports activities.

With a break in the morning, teams had time to prepare themselves for the start of the pool rounds with the games changing to 4 x10min quarters,

Desert Storm put up a big fight, as they lost a couple of players to blood injuries and a possible broken hand. One of the bigger upsets for the day was Northern Suburbs Thunder defeating PARCS Palmerston in the first round of the pool matches 29 - 15. Until then PARCS Palmerston had been undefeated.

In the Campbell's Chaos pool, there were a couple of very close games, in round two between TEGS and Parcs Remote with TEGS defeating PARCS Remote by one point 13-12.

  DAY THREE:
Day three of the AFL Exchange competition saw some great games of Footy being played.
The pool games continued with some close results, as teams began to tire after a long few days.
The final results, saw Northern Suburbs Stars fighting through to be top of the ladder for Tambling Tumblers and PARCS Tegs who began the carnival slowly, taking first position for the Campbell's Chaos pool.
It was great to see players being enthusiastic and showing some great sportsmanship both on and off the field.
A big thanks to all those involved, especially to all team officials who put in some long hours to get the teams to the carnival.
Well done on a great carnival and catch you in 2009 .....
