A Third Team In Sydney - It's Only a Matter Of Time !!

[BringBackTorps]

Female GR AF has been having strong growth in the NSW North Coast comp. (not to be confused with the Northern Rivers AF comp., for areas adjacent to the Qld. border). The Swans AFLW team, starting December 2022, is expected to greatly stimulate this growth.

"[in 2022] AFL North Coast will launch its Youth Girls Under 14 competition. This comes off the back of the phenomenal success of the Youth Girls Under 17 competition in 2017, and the Women’s competition the following year.

Matt Crawley, Northern NSW Development Lead, said that female participation continues to grow year on year. “After just five seasons of Youth Girls footy we now find that 28% of participants in our Junior Competition are girls, and despite the Women’s Competition starting a year later, 25% of participants in our Senior Competition are Women.

“Other regions that have already implemented the younger girls only divisions have seen an explosion in the numbers of girls who are keen to play and we know it will be the same on the North Coast. A number of clubs have ready made teams so the ground work is already done.”

Great work again on the link. I can remember when a few years ago when BBT and I were the only ones on here showing any interest in NSW Womens Footy development.
The point is just how big can it get up there. There are a lot of unknowns to sort of quote Donald Rumsfield on his opinion of the Iraq War.

Balgowlah JFC, on Sydney's Northern Beaches, started in 2015 with just its Auskick clinic- which, by the end of 2015, had 80 players.

In 2021, Balgowlah JFC had 450 players.

The strong AF growth that is happening in Greater Sydney, & throughout all NSW & ACT, bodes very well for a 3rd AFL team, eventually, in very large & very wealthy Sydney.

1. "Campbelltown is not an area synonymous with AFL, but the students of St Gregory’s are tearing it up on the field. At a 2021 Paul Kelly Cup regional carnival, the school won the boys competition and were runners-up in the girls. Its reserves boys and girls teams made the semi-finals, showing the school’s depth.

Success on field is one thing, but Howe is equally impressed with the students’ enthusiasm to pull on a pair of boots and chase after a Sherrin. “The large amount of students participating at our AFL trials wishing to represent the College has been extraordinary,” he (D. Howe, Pys. Ed teacher) said.

In fact, around 50 St Gregory’s students played Paul Kelly Cup – that’s about 50 per cent (for any school in Aust., 50% of eligible- based on age- male & female students playing in a school AF comp. is very high) of the school’s eligible cohort.

“There’s a lot of interest and by exposing them to the Paul Kelly Cup, the interschool sport we have on Wednesday, and the AFL coming in for clinics and grade sport lessons is allowing kids to become more passionate and possibly playing on the weekend,” said Howe (Words & emphases in brackets, mine).

The SW of Sydney is, relatively, a weaker area, per capita, for GR AF comp. nos.- but good growth there is also occcuring.
The 50% rate of St Gregorys' eligible students playing in the Paul Kelly school AF comp. is impressive anywhere, but particularly in SW Sydney.






2.

Do you have their names ?

Why don't you check the Balgowlah Suns (now with 450 regd. players, after only 6 years in existence) Grand Final team lists (from aflnswact website fixtures) for surnames? What conclusions do you draw?

I have said several times that, in Greater Sydney, GR AF comp. nos. are underrepresented in non anglo-celtic background persons, on a per capita basis- & I mentioned Greater Sydney AF comp. players from, specifically, "continental Europe, Asian, & Middle Eastern" backgrounds.

1. Balgowlah is NOT "in Greater Sydney".
2. 20 grand finalist names out of 450 is totally meaningless. Get the 450 names.
3. You made the ridiculous statement so you back it up.
4. I have productive things to do with my time.

The idea that you can tell a person's ethnicity from a name is simply not viable - one marriage can destroy that association.

You have, on several occasions recently, broken up my comments into segments ie not showing my full sentence (or the accompanying sentence) to present a false impression/out of context of what I have said. As this is very misleading, your deceptive Straw Man practice is inappropriate, & I suggest you desist.

Why did you deliberately omit the remainder of my sentence ie" & I mentioned Greater Sydney AF comp. players from, specifically, 'continental Europe, Asian, & Middle Eastern' backgrounds"? (You quoted only the first part- very misleading).

Virtually all fans of the AFL are very aware that aboriginal-background persons are very overrepresented in the AFL ie c.11% of AFL players- this is not the issue being discussed here.

In very multicultural Greater Sydney, what is your estimate of GR AF comp. players from a "continental Europe, Middle Eastern, Asian", Latin American, Pasifika, & African background? And in Sydney's NW, W, & SW?

 

[RedV3x]

Yes, because it is very difficult to get a grip on what you are actually trying to say.
I have many times suggested that you break your posts up into concise meaningful posts with a solitary point.

Now. You still haven't the most basic and simple question

where do these guys fit in with your ANGLO-CELTIC NAME theory.

[RedV3x]

this is not the issue being discussed here.

That's right, the issue here is that you state that you can estimate the ethnic participation based on NAMES and presumably names alone.

It's pointless just putting up some pathetic "disagree" emoji - show some balls and defend your statement or withdraw it!

Actually you can be forgiven for not knowing the history of Campbelltown.

Campbelltown was a powerhouse in Sydney football for a period.
In fact they were so powerful that they joined the ACTFL in preference to the SFL, but travel made that a short-lived two year experiment.

It's hard to find reference to Jeffrey Edelstein. https://southwestvoice.com.au/mr-afl/
This reffence said Edelstein sponsored Campbelltown but the media at the time recorded Campbelltown
as being the first privately owned AFC with Edelstein changing the name from the Swans to his beloved "Blues".

Interested in your thoughts bring back torps. Should gws be targeting the inner west a bit more to build a fan base? More anglos and afl friendly areas, I think it would be a smart strategy to build that as a core support group then easier to attract more supporters in the outer west there after (fans bring more fans).

 

[Mr north man]

Who would go there
The Saints ?
North?
Let’s get Tassie in 1st
Still think a 3 team out of with WA or QLD with be the 20th team

That's from 2019 and the brochure before inception and doesn't mention the inner west. I'm talking of places like henson park where the swans new aflw ground is, I think the giants should be claiming those types of areas. Before anyone says it will be cannibalising the swans support, they have had the whole of sydney to themselves for decades and already have enough fans where they can afford to lose a few in the West.

With Sydney so hard to get around, I think GWS should be putting special focus on the immediate surroundings of Homebush, and areas with easy public transport access to Olympic Park.

One of the criticisms of GWS is their crowds, and this would help grow them. And once crowds are bigger, the atmosphere is better, and they will hopefully attract more fans again. Success begets success etc.

 

[RedV3x]

How do you propose that GWS "claim" the inner west. ?
Australian Football has been played in the inner west since 1903.
I think people people in those areas have made their own minds up.

 

[RedV3x]

With Sydney so hard to get around, I think GWS should be putting special focus on the immediate surroundings of Homebush, and areas with easy public transport access to Olympic Park.

IMO, that is already in play. If you're close to public transport then getting to Homebush is relatively easy.

I think attracting supporters in areas that actually have some interest in AFL is a better starting point than heavily immigrant areas that barely know the game exists. I'd be playing a few practice matches in marrickville and the likes as well as having an in season presence at the showgrounds. It's the same as the western bulldogs who have struggled for supporters in even an AFL city, you don't try attract fans from sunshine north as your foundation, it's too much of a hard sell.
