ZZZ - Unsure if your mail on Garlick is correct. His main reasons for moving were to be closer to his family who live in Tocumwal (ACT closer than Sydney) as well as to continue playing at that level. He hated Sydney Uni and Eastlake showed the most interest out of the ACT teams. No one at...

Having watched from afar, and had some inside information relayed onto me, local community clubs have no chance of lasting or competing in the NEAFL. Just ask the Eagles who found themselves over $350K in debt after 3 years (announced at their club presentation night). Their president and...

Shouldn't the Swans have hosted the Grand Final considering they finished higher on the ladder? If this comp was fair dinkum (which it is not) then the GF would definitely have been played in Sydney due them finishing higher. Congrats to Aspley for making the Grand Final. It just goes to...

GWS will / have put the queue in the rack a few weeks ago after a fair few players went for season ending surgery. After their last game at the senior level yesterday I am tipping that they want the majority of their list in for surgery or resting immediately. Leon Cameron will be in charge of...

Justa, I'm unsure if any community club in Western Sydney has the $350K (players & coaches) required to compete at the NEAFL level. Just ask the Eagles how difficult they found it after recruiting as best they could but still being a long off the mark. Sydney Uni are a very different kettle of...

ZZZ - the numbers you used above are a little bit of a false picture. The Eagles have only used 35 players in 2014 and after checking in the same place as you, I think you will find that the numbers on footyweb include players named as emergencies and not used. Sometimes the person responsible...

Good summary of the game. Was getting the updates through twitter all game and it was good to see the Eagles continue having a crack right to the end. I've listened to their coach a few times during the year and he is fairly consistent with wanting them to take the game on. They will no doubt...

No offence to Tassie, but what an embarrassing result. Cannot believe that we have been beaten by a relatively small footballing state. Questions need to be asked of the coaching staff who pretty much stuck with the same onball division and backline after they were taught a lesson by WA.

I have Aspley beating Redland twice at Home and losing to them away. I have Aspley losing to the Thunder away and Aspley beating Southport away. I have Redland losing to Aspley twice away and beating them at home. I have them losing to Thunder away and beating Southport away. This is based...

Doesn't surprise me that Jarryd gave this feedback in an interview. Not sure he gives a stuff about the competition to be honest and his response reeks of arrogance. It's a pretty big slap in the face to the NON AFL clubs who are doing everything they can week in and week out to compete and...

Ok, I am going to go out on a limb here and having a crack at predicting the final 6. We are now roughly at the half way point with many sides having played 9 games each with a few on 10 and 8. I have had a look at the complete draw for the remainder of the year and predicted the likely winner...

I see NT have lost a couple of players to Country VIC footy including Ross Tungatalum (absolute gun). Seems an unusual move to make at this time of year. http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/2328235/hoppers-up-the-stakes/?cs=10

On top of the debacle that was, we can't even write our own NEAFL review and instead a reporter from Perth travels down and writes the review. Honestly, do the NEAFL really think this is acceptable and what we want in this competition. Surely it's not that hard to have our own media / reporter...

Ventured down to watch the REP game on the weekend hoping to see a competitive game of football played. Should have stayed at home. Atmosphere pathetic, no canteen or anywhere to get something to eat / drink inside the venue. Had to go across to the other oval just to get a coffee. Surely...

Um, lets not forget that the game is roughly 40 minutes shorter than a normal game. 20 minute quarters with no time on. Most NEAFL / VFL quarters go for approx. 30-32 minutes including time on. Taking this into consideration ASPLEY in my opinion would have been beaten by 120+ points IF Willy...

Just read that the REP game has been moved to Blacktown International Sports Park instead of being the curtain raiser to the Giants v Tigers game at Spotless stadium. Seems the game will now be played in front of the coaches and support staff only. Can't imagine them getting any sort of crowd...

So what you are really saying is you want the old QAFL back, however with the added teams of Swans & GWS. And what then makes you think that either Ainslie or Sydney Uni would want to be the only team from the Eastern comp playing in this new competition? The AFL need to have a real look at...

Not sure what draw you checked however it is an 18 game season. 21 rounds of NEAFL with each side getting 3 byes. Therefore getting 11 home games is a major advantage compared to the majority of others with 9. Particularly the home ground advantage in the NT. My point is that this will more...

Just bumped into one of the support staff that travelled with the Hills Eagles up to play the NT. I had an interesting chat with him. He believes that NT Thunder will be almost unbeatable at home. Apparently they are very well coached by Xavier Clarke, unbelievably quick and he was surprised...

Grounds being closed at NEAFL level?? This would NOT happen in any other genuine Tier 2 state league competition. We have a very long way to go if this sort of thing continues to happen.

I didn't get to the game Norwest but I believe Hills had approx. 10-12 not playing also. A few pulled out due to the late change to the game venue. Does anyone know what the result was with GWS & ACT U23?

I happened to watch the 1st half of the Hills Eagles Intraclub game last night on the way home from work. They had a lot of new players and they looked very fit. The game itself was a little scrappy but I suppose that is the norm for this time of the year. Their 2 new ruckman and centre half...

You seem like you know what goes on down there Squiggle. Can you give us a bit of an update on how there new coaching group is going and also who the new recruits are?

JSG, who are some of the recruits that Hills Eagles have? They must be big and many if you are correct that they have outdone Sydney Uni who looked to have done very well over the offseason. The only ones I know of at Hills Eagles are Luke Jericho, Josh Milani & Jackson Ferguson. All very...

Have heard Josh Milani has signed with Hills Eagles in Sydney along with another few from NEAFL Northern comp.

I've heard similar things to you JSG on the new recruits at Hills Eagles. I have been told that they have picked up 4-5 from NEAFL Northern, 4-5 from VFL, 2 from SANFL as well as Jericho & Ferguson that you mentioned. It seems that they have gone hard in recruitment over the offseason which...

JSG - I will guarantee you that there will not be a fully fledged AFL reserves competition in 2015. The AFL & 90% of AFL clubs have advised publicly that this is not on the radar due to the costs associated with running a fully fledged reserves competition. It suits everyone at this stage that...

Also found out this morning that Brabazon has signed at Sydney Uni for 2014. Matt O'Dwyer not far behind him

I read today on the Hills Eagles website that there is a new permit system being introduced whereby they and Sydney Uni can choose players from other Sydney AFL clubs on a permit every weekend which is the same as Swans & Giants. Is the same being offered to Canberra clubs?

What do you think of the decision JSG and do you think he will be able to improve on their results of this year?
