Wir über uns
Q: Are the Munich Kangaroos successful?
A: The Munich Kangaroos are the current premiership title holders. The roos also won the first premiership held for the newly re-formed AFLG in 2003. Every year the competition gets better and better and as a result new players are always needed.
In 1993, the Munich Australian-New Zealand Stammtisch (a regular monthly meeting of many of Munich’s 540 registered Australians and New Zealanders) staged an AFL Grand Final party. The success of that event and news that Australian Football competitions existed in both England and Denmark, inspired a group of football fans and former players to form their own competition.
GARFA began in 1994 when expatriate Australians and other foreign nationals, as well as Germans, began meeting regularly in the Hirschgarten. The number attending each session ranged from ten to twenty people. Each session involved kick-to-kick, an explanation of the game to the uninitiated, as well as skills work. The session then finished with a game based upon the rules for nine-a-side Australian football.
The ability of players varied greatly. The top players all have a number of years experience in premier suburban and country leagues spread throughout Australia. Of the non-Australians, the Irish – a number of who had played Gaelic Football at a high level – proved to be the most suited for Australian Rules. The Swedes, Americans, and Germans have taken longer to come to terms with the nature of the game.
Members of GARFA organized an Australian Rules Football promotional table at the tenth anniversary celebration of the Deutsch-Australian Stammtisch, held in the Löwenbraukellar in May, 1995. More than 3000 people attended with many stopping to view video highlights of Australian Rules football, receive pamphlets, and ask questions about the sport. An exhibition game played that same month during the annual Spring Fair for the Munich International School also sparked further interest.
The increase in attendance at the training sessions, held weekly throughout spring and summer of 1995, made it possible to hold more formal games.
