I've never been to Thebarton, but it looks like a nice ground; and not a bad crowd. It gives a real feel for what the ground's like - thanks Dissident.

Yep. He's playing for Campbelltown - kicked 4 goals in his first game last week, but the Kangaroos still got badly beaten.

Sydney AFL plays Riverina in Sydney on Sunday 12th June; then plays AFLQ on Saturday 2nd July in Brisbane. As for the game at Henson Park on Saturday night, a very impressive performance by Wests who jumped North Shore early to win by 62 points. My match report and pics are up at...

Excellent site. I'll definately be coming back during the season to see how the Bendigo league unfolds. It's been many a long year since I lived down that way, and the makeup of the league's changed a lot in that time, but great to see support for the local comp in your site.

They're in line at North Sydney Oval these days, but here's one from Drummoyne Oval where they certainly are bent. Having said that, Drummoyne Oval's a nice ground and the locals are friendly. It's a great place to watch footy.

North Shore in the Sydney AFL premier division have had some premiership success in this time but could have had more. The Bombers have tasted premiership success in the 1991 bloodbath against Holroyd-Parramatta, in 2001 against Campbelltown and last year when they knocked off St George. But so...

Gawley Park, the Southern Sharks ground, is another shocker in the SFA. Even in the Sydney AFL Premier division, a lot of the grounds aren't great. When it rains they can turn into mudheaps, and when it doesn't they can turn into dustbowls. Gore Hill got so rock-hard and dusty that North Shore...

It only made its Australian football debut when it hosted the Sydney AFL finals series last year, but Henson Park turned out to be a great facility for Sydney local footy. Close to public transport, good condition players rooms, a grandstand big enough to hold a small crowd when it rains (and...

Timelord, it's a bugger you can't fly - the airfares are a lot cheaper than the train. Good luck anyway, hope you're able to get the info you're looking for somehow. BTW, I was having a look at your project with the historical ladders from 1999-2002, you mentioned you don't have a ladder for...

That's very true. Losing a grand final hurts - most people who follow a club at any level have been there, and it's especially painful if they were easily the best side all year but go down on the day. But there's always next year and a chance to put things right - but if the club folds or...

JF_Bay22_SCG's already written some good stuff on the Sydney AFL grand final, and I've written my report which will shortly appear on RedAndWhiteOnline , but the scores of the games were: Premier Division Seniors North Shore 1.2 5.4 9.11 10.11 (71) St George 2.1 6.2 7.2 7.4 (46)...

That prelim final, and also next week's grand final, are at Henson Park - it's an oval, but was traditionally a rugby league ground and has only recently been used for Aussie rules. But it's a great facility - and more suitable than Campbelltown where last year's finals were played, which is too...

The Sydney AFL grand finals are this weekend. Sunday 12th September (Henson Park): Premier Division Seniors - North Shore v St George (2:15pm) Premier Division Reserves - North Shore v Pennant Hills (9:45am) Under 18s - St George v Pennant Hills (12 noon) Saturday 11th September (Kelso...

As if the thunderstorm at the Swans v West Coast was enough for one weekend, it was nothing compared to the hailstorm at the prelim final this afternoon. The conditions were more suited to Torvill and Dean than footballers. I write a column on the local footy for RedAndWhiteOnline which I'll...

There's a few in the Sydney AFL. Troy Luff (ex Sydney) is captain-coach of Balmain, Daniel McPherson (ex Sydney) at North Shore, Jason McPherson (ex Sydney) at Wests, Nick Trask (ex Brisbane & Adelaide) at East Coast. Several others who were on the rookie list at Sydney but never made a senior...

Great idea. There'd be a lot of duplication between clubs in different leagues, but that's footy. My favourite local footy club (North Shore, Sydney AFL) has the very familiar song of: See the Bombers fly up up To win the premiership flag North Shore boys play this grand old game Always...

Re: The Best League Outside The Afl, Sanfl And Wafl Earlier this year, the Sydney AFL rep side beat the Riverina FL rep side in Wagga. I didn't see the game, and I've never been to a Riverina FL game. The Sydney AFL isn't a particularly strong competition, but I'd rank it tier 7 rather than...

In Sydney it's a challenge to find any ground with any grass at all on it. We're under tight water restrictions, and the ovals are all rock-hard dustbowls.

I'm not. I follow the premier league comp, and I'm writing some stuff on it at RedAndWhite Online but I haven't really seen a lot of the first division - I check the scores every week, but I haven't been to a game. It's a fairly even comp this year, with only one win between 3rd and 8th. After...

Congratulations Suzi, good luck with the game this weekend.

Re: Re: Re: Post Blitzkrieg Australian football: How does your state league fare ? I don't know what the Sydney local comp was like before the Swans came up, but these days the local comp is strictly for diehards only. I love it, but it barely rates on the radar of Sydney sport. If it wasn't...

Biggest in the Sydney AFL so far this year was at Olds Park in round 1 - St George 37.11 (233) d Campbelltown 7.6 (48). Campbelltown were also on the receiving end of the second biggest score, when North Shore knocked them off at Gore Hill 31.14 (200) to 6.6 (42). It's been a disastrous season...

They've been wearing fluro orange in the Sydney AFL this year. What colour are they wearing in other leagues around the country?

The SA system is your points as a percentage of total points scored in your games, compared to the rest of Australia which is your points as a percentage of your opponents' points. Whichever system you use, the ladder positions for teams equal on games will remain the same. So there's no...

Today I made a last-minute decision to go to Bankstown Oval this afternoon and have a look at the East Coast Eagles v St George game. What I saw this afternoon is something I've never seen before. St George were well in front late in the second quarter, leading 12.3 to 5.6; when the umpires...

I didn't see the game, but the Eagles have a young side with a lot of new faces, so it'll take a little while for them to gel. Plus they were playing the reigning premiers, so I wouldn't be panicking just yet. Sunday's game, when they're at home against Balmain, will give a better idea where the...

They both played for Pennant Hills last season. I'm not sure if they're playing again in 2004.

Yep, that's the one. He's played at North Shore for the last couple of years.
