    This might sound stupid... but..

    I am moving to Parramatta, or at least nearby. I am fairly sure there is a footy club in Parramatta. Can anybody give me any details?

    Cheers

    There's a First Division club nearby, Holroyd-Parramatta Goannas. They play their home games at Gipps Rd Oval in Greystanes, and I think they train there as well.
    There's a few other people on this board who may have some more information for you if you're interested, and you should (hopefully) be able to get a link from the Sydney AFL website - otherwise I'll look it up when I'm back in Sydney.

      You can contact the Goannas coach Troy Balzan [email protected]

      Also their club website is www.goannas.com.au

      As far as I know they have had a genuinely good show-up in pre-season already & are better positioned than this time last year.
      See me run a marathon again as a leprechaun?

        Gday mate.

        If you are looking to play at the highest level in Sydney try your luck with Balmain Dockers. Think thats the closest to you and you will be looked after

        Otherwise as suggested by Norris.

            Thanks mate. I probably need to do a fair bit of work before I can play the highest level in Sydney, been playing out in Bathurst for a fair while and its not a high standard of football. Need to do a lot of fitness work before I am close. I have contacted Troy and it looks like I will be able to start training when I move down in January! Awesome stuff!

            Miss a year because of shoulder surgery last year, so I want to ease myself back into it all.

            I am confused as to what relevance myself having a girlfriend has to this though, haha! (well I don't have a girlfriend, does that make a difference?).

                Ah! Rightio. So does that just relate to the Balmain FC or just the Sydney AFL League in general...?

                    I'm not sure how one incident (that you would have only heard from one side of events) justifies your comment that an entire football club are out to get team mates partners?!?!

                          Thats great to hear rooster. He does have the ability to worry a lot of teams when his mind is on the job. Can be a good bloke at times too. Do you know how he is going up there?

                            Sounds a little bit stupid but plenty of people have done it.
