    SYDNEY AFL...2013

    Hi SC, Div 3 and Div 4 are very variable. In Clubs where these are the senior teams they often have a couple of players who are much better than the rest of the competition, they also have some skilled but weight challenged players running around. Generally speaking the competition is played...

    SYDNEY AFL...2013

    Cheers DB, I think Leigh is clearly able to deliver well drilled teams and attract players. As I understand the current team is almost entirely local talent. The Forest teams of the era you are talking about were pretty strong collecting a fair number of flags and he has managed to keep them...

    SYDNEY AFL...2013

    I think that is understating the level of the competition somewhat. While it appears to me (watching from the sidelines) that the standard of the competition falls away reasonably sharply for most clubs below their top level teams, the PD or top level Club teams have a sprinkling of players...

    SYDNEY AFL...2013

    An extraordinary effort as they make GF in PD in first year while also having Ressies and 18s in their respective GFs. Not sure anyone tipped that and pretty sure some of the other clubs are not too happy. It appears the Sydney AFL Tipped Wolves to be 11th and on this site no one mentioned...

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    Season 2013, may be an opportunity for the Southern Power to grab a deserved senior flag with the promotion of Manly to the premier division. (http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-1047-0-0-0&sID=53282 ). It is also a fairly clear statement by the Sydney AFL that performance on and...

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    What did Auburn do to get involved in this fight ? While there is not much right about belting someone off the ball (there being far more effective ways to level up on these things); it may be best if Saviour01 fights one Club at a time.

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    Re: Sydney AFL ovals I have gone away and done my research and do not understand the issue with the Weldon ground, while it was a Goat track it has had a couple of million dollars injected, which had it compacted, drained, levelled etc and has lights that deliver 200lux. I am also told it is...

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    Re: divisionalisation It would appear that the administrators are going to have a to make a decision, for next season very shortly. The position at the top of Div 1 is: 1 MANLY WARRINGAH % = 478.79 2 SOUTHERN POWER % = 319.07 3 PENRITH % = 100.94 That is a...

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    Re: divisionalisation Can anyone else offer a reason as to why Premier Division is exempt from the promotion/relegation system ? OFTENCONFUSED put the arguments as per above but I don't think even he quite accepted that they were valid ! Over the past 15 years or so, every premier division...

    Sydney AFL - 2012

    Re: divisionalisation There is no doubt the 'divisionalisation' of the Sydney comp has added life and moderated the big separation in playing ability, thus evening out the competition. There remains the question about how to deal with the Premier level. Clearly some of the teams at Div 1...

    State of the Game: Sydney AFL

    While it is abundantly clear that the divisional system is operating to level the playing field, it still operates with some restrictions and also causes significant difficulties for many of the clubs. The clear benefit is the creation of a series of more closely matched teams competing each...

    AFL Canberra - Season 2011

    CL, no problem with you supporting Ben, but do not slag off the two that left. Your comments show how removed you are from the Club or understanding the game. It may be useful for you to actually enquire of people at the Club, like the Coach, or senior players, Ainslie is not better for the...

    AFL Canberra - Season 2011

    My copy of the draw states: Round 13 2.00pm Ainslie v Southport Ainslie Oval ACT Which will include two ex Ainslie players running on for Southport (Daniels and Pettersson). Should be a cracking game

    AFL Canberra - Season 2011

    I think it would be astounding if they were within 10 goals even considering the abbreviated format. Not sure they will have the capacity to deal with the harder bodies and also some of the fringe players of the other sides trying to impress the Coaches. Keep a close eye on Charlie Dixon from...

    AFL Canberra Part 2

    Another interesting set of results. Eastlake did not smash Ainslie by 10 goals and the Belco boys showed they are still contenders. The big issue is what side Sydney put on the park each week, sometimes very good some times not. With Queanbeyan back on the winning list maybe they can...
