Portland Australian Football Club

Portland Australian Football Club Aussie Rules Football Club in Portland, OR. Men's & Women's/Non-binary teams competing in the USAFL. Come have a kick and try footy!

The Portland Australian Football Club represents the city of Portland, Oregon in the United States Australian Football League. We play Australian Rules Football, or "footy", at 2 different levels. During the footy season, which runs from spring to fall, our men's team, the Steelheads & our women's team, the Sockeyes, play against other clubs from around the US and Canada, either in tournaments or

single matches. In addition to games against clubs from other cities, every year our club puts on the Portland Australian Football League and the Portland Women's Australian Football League where our players are drafted into different teams that compete against each other throughout the season. Our club was founded in 2003 as the Portland Power, after club members were able to acquire uniforms from the Port Adelaide Power in the Australian Football League. The club has steadily grown over the years, culminating in the club's first trip bringing a full team to the USAFL Nationals Tournament in 2010. In 2011, the club renamed itself the Portland Steelheads to establish our own unique identity, and to better represent our home city of Portland. In 2015 we developed our women's team, the Portland Sockeyes, who have consistently grown over the years and have won 2 National Championships. Australian Rules Football is fast, exciting, & fun to play. We're always looking for new men & women to join our club and learn the sport, regardless of experience level.

Our club is heartbroken to share that Max Ducey our Steelheads captain, a PAFC leader, Regionals MVP, USA Revolution National Team player, and former San Diego Lions Australian Rules Football Club player - is facing a serious medical situation after a brain aneurysm led to two strokes over the last few weeks.

Anyone who has played with or against Max knows the kind of person he is: tough, selfless, competitive, generous, and always there for the people around him. He has given so much to this game and this community, and now he and his family are facing a long and difficult road ahead.

Max's family has started a GoFundMe to help with medical bills, living expenses, care support, adaptive equipment, and the many costs that come with what will be a significant recovery.

If you are able to donate, share, or simply send love to Max, Danielle, and his family, it would mean a great deal.

Every bit of support helps.

We love you, Juice.

Return of the Fish 🐟🏉

Portland AFC season practices officially kick off this Sunday, April 12 at Clinton Park. Our weekly Sunday practices will be 1-3 pm.

Bring plenty of water, cleats if you have them (running shoes if not), and a ready-to-learn attitude.

After practice, we’ll head to Dingo’s Sports Pub for a team social.

We wrapped last season with some great successes, and we can’t wait to see where we go this year. New, returning, veterans, or occasional fish - we want to see ALL the fish out there.
Let’s get back to footy. 🐟

On the field, he’s a Nationals champion, a USAFL Western All-Regionals selection, a longtime leader, one of the most respected players in club history, and an absolute gun winger.

Licensed in Oregon since 2014, James sells all residential property types and brings an International MBA plus a Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development from Portland State. His business is built on expert knowledge, strong negotiation, clear communication, and delivering results, while keeping the focus on people, not just numbers.

James’s focus is always on you, and he takes great pride in providing exceptional customer service to all of his clients. PAFC members also receive a 20% discount on his all-inclusive listing fee.

PAFC is proud to have James as a Steelhead on the field and a sponsor off the field. From beach footy in Victoria to helping build and lead footy in Portland, James brings the same teamwork, grit, and care to real estate that he brings to every match. We can’t recommend James’s services enough. Please reach out to him for all your home buying, selling, and market needs.
