The point is that competitiveness is the key to growing the code. You simply can't attract people to clubs which are getting hammered regularly. Especially when there is a fair bit of travel involved. This means that those clubs continue to struggle due to lack of numbers/quality and may...

Re: Sydney Footy- Div 1 to 4 I doubt if Penrith would be too offended by your comments, given that they haven't actually played the Saints yet in Div 4. :p

Re: Sydney Footy- Div 1 to 4 And by doing so they turned the entire competition into a farce. Great way to send a message. :rolleyes: I don't understand the logic at all and disagree completely. Under 18 football, of all levels of the game, is not the level of football to be "sending a...

Re: Sydney Footy- Div 1 to 4 The move to divisionalize Sydney senior football has been one of the best decisions made for a long time. And it was long overdue. The inequity in Sydney football was crippling its growth - especially in its targetted growth area (the West). You had the ridiculous...

That is my understanding too. It is fine to be critical of the AFL when they deserve it, but this is a case of councils closing grounds. I would guess that most of the grounds to be played on this weekend are council controlled, as would be most of the possible alternative venues. If you go...

I understand why you wouldn't want to lose your identity, and I apologize if I gave the impression you should. I take your point about the rivalry, really all I was trying to say is somehow this rivalry needs to be put to constructive use to ensure senior football in that area thrives -...

I just saw a certain irony in Pekay's statement, that is all. The bulk of my post really was not aimed at having a dig, it is what I believe should happen out there. I wasn't suggesting a takeover of the Jets by Penrith, nor would I suggest the reverse for that matter. What I was alluding to...

At least "Penriff" are still running around with two sides each week in First Division Pekay - which would suggest at least 50 odd guys want to play for them. Maybe you should look at the reasons why your club lost so many players, rather than having a dig at another club. ;) That very...

My guess re the Nor-West Jets issue not appearing on the website is that perhaps the AFL (NSW/ACT) preferred not to publicise the fact - perhaps it could have been viewed as a bit of down publicity, both for the League and also those at the club who had done the hard work trying to keep the club...

It will be interesting to see how Wollongong goes - I hope they do well, they are a very well run club which I respect enormously.

Desie, rumours are just that - rumours. And rumours of courses of action for which the consequences have not been properly thought out or considered, and could well have a number of negative unpredicted outcomes, maybe they should be kept to the pub circuit at this stage. :D
