But look at the backline. It is terrible. I could easily pluck 6 forwards from sfl that would completely dominate them.

Mcveigh is lucky he has a manager, Mathews is just a player, Barry loose and can be exploited, Solomon not the player he was, LRT- played one game in senior career (very good gf Ill admit) apart from that???, Bolton, just average. The interachange is very ordinary.

didnt you blokes get pumped by an understrength Wests on the weekend?

Great point Ash. You obviously watch this competition a lot closer than what i gave you credit for...

If we were to change the rules - akin to the 1990 rules where you virtually had to play for Sydney to qualify - what team would we have then? Would guys like A Rocca or S Grant make the team then?

One of my favourite games on footy was watching big John Ironmonger & young John Longmire cause havoc on the Vics in the rain at the SCG in 1990 - the Goannas played the Students from Sydney Uni in the curtain raiser when they were both in SFL that night & the other Paul Kelly was the pre-game entertainment.

That's more like it

Someone has to come out and say it Mr Kefalas.
You talk absolute garbage. That backline would absolutely murder anything the SFL could muster up. And yes including your UNSW/ES boys that couldnt kick a winning score on the weekend.

Me thinks that Mr Kefalas may be taking the p1ss, Roo.

I'll give you 6...

Kefalas,
Abott,
Coupe,
Underwood,
S Pech
Luff

Coupe would eat LRT for breakfast...

L.Barry would be chasing Abott's tail all game and acting as his step ladder...

and finally McVeigh would be lost for class against Kefalas...

Underwood would just cruise in 2nd gear and kick 6.

Enough said.

Not after saturdays effort.......

One of my best memories, as a 12 yr old, our club took a busload in from Camden. I didn't really know where the players all originally came from, but it was awesome to beat the Vics.

Start of a lifelong love of both footy and (the other) Paul Kelly.

Its funny you mention Camden Wheels27.
I actually drove past a game they were playing on the weekend and popped in and had a look. Despite playing a weak opposition Camden actually looked like a pretty good side and won by about 15 goals. They have a few blokes that have played 1st grade in the SFL including Peter Free, Royce Simpson, Kane Rowley and a few that have played first division i think. There full forward has kicked 26 goals in there 3 games so far and they have some young blokes that look like they could handle sydney footy.

Sydney clubs out there should go and check it out, there could be a few recruits for them.

Recruiting has sadly gone the other way, at least half a dozen from their side moved from SWS when Chook went out there. This reflected in our last two years of results, we are only now starting to recover.
No hard feelings at our end, just disappointing.

Unfortunately for us, a club like Camden, based in Sydney metro, but playing in a non-affiliated competition down south, has much less to cover in terms of overheads (ie. league & umpire fees), and can therefore look after their players better.

I grew up in Camden in the times when the seniors played in the SFA, out of Kirkham Oval, but as I got older the senior club wasn't playing and then reappeared in the Leisure Coast AFL, and as I worked in Liverpool, I had started playing where I am now.

As you would imagine I still have a soft spot for my old local team, it's great to see them having so much success, hopefully they can return to the Sydney comp. in the future.

There are plenty of kids who want to play in this area, but not too much encouragement for them to play for clubs like Camden or ourselves, in the past attitude sometimes seemed to be, try out for Campbelltown, if you don't make it just get a membership and go to the swans every week.

Happily recent times seem to be seeing more co-operation between the local clubs, after all we're all in it together. My ideal scenario would see all local juniors coming to either us or Camden, and then feeding into Campbelltown.
