    If you have a team in the NEAFL you would have a team in P.D. given that you are going to have players going back and forth between the two grades and going back 2 divisions to fight for a spot back in a NEAFL team would prove difficult given the gap.
    If somebody says to you, "Can I ask you a question?"....isn't it a little too late?

      Easy tiger, I was merely illustrating a microscopic cog in a catastrophic plan.....designed and directed by his red right hand

      Regardless, of the three obvious contenders listed above, Mac Uni would get the nod over the other two... Power would have to relocate to a better ground, and I'm sure Cartman would agree, so the league need to go into bat with local council for that. Warath @ Loftus would be too small for memory, some of the big ticket cricket grounds would be the key.. If they can get footy on Waverley, anything can happen.

      But for mine, Mac Uni would be the natural progressor at the moment.

        Im easy as mate i was just curious as to why circumstances like that would matter. From all reports at Power the move to Waratah has the go ahead for next year with the new amenities block being built over the off season. In regards to size i'd say it would be bigger than the likes of Bruce Purser (and certainly trumper) from memory.

        It's gonna be interesting to see what actually does happen in regards to the structure of PD over the next couple of years

          This weekend will mark a milestone with the UTS Bats to play at Bondi?s landmark, Waverley Oval for the first time.

          The two matches played there will be one of at least two occasions this season the Bats will bring AFL to the beachside community.

          It is part of a grand plan that Bats? president, John Colbert hopes will translate into future success.................

          Courtesy of funding from government, AFL will benefit from a $9 million redevelopment that will incorporate a new grandstand, changeroom facilities and community centre, including a function area capable of catering up to 200 people.

            Agree 100% with Pekay. Its all well and good to shoot off about sides joining PD but we need to look at locations. My worry is with these two sides joining the NEAFL is that the PD clubs will be raped in regards to top quality players. I have a feeling the standard of PD will drop quickly once Syd Uni and East Coast pick the eyes out of the emerging players in the competition.

              Cos, the article you quoted is a few months old. We've had a couple of games there already - I did an article on one of them, complete with pics; which in the background will give you a bit of a look at the construction of the new grandstand.

                  Pekay seemed to be oblivious to the fact that Waverley is going to be used for football .
                  On reflection , it actually has something to do with NEAFL .
                  If you don't have promotion/relegation there will be a tendancy for superclubs to develop .
                  Waverley is a fantastic location and with the new facilities it is a fantastic opportunity to showcase football and draw local support .
                  A great location for a superclub .

                      Thanks for that .Missed it with my google searches .I used to walk past that oval many times and think wouldn't that be fantastic for football if "we" played there .Don't know much about the SFL at all these days .i was surprised to see that UTS is playing there .Spiritually i would have thought it would be the home of ES ,but obviously they have a new alignment and UTS play out of Trumper ,their old home .The history is quite ironic .The vote for formation of the NSWFL was taken at Paddington town hall and foundation member ES played out of Trumper .Rugby rallied around Waverley oval at the time but obviously moved onto more developed premises .
                      Relevance to the NEAFL ? Good ,prominent facilities would be part of the equation IMO along with the usual suspects .

                        You'll have to tell me where it states I'm oblivious to Waverley being used.

                        If they can get footy on Waverley, they can get it anywhere

                        Wouldn't that suggest that I know Waverley is being utilised? Considering we were scheduled to play there at 10am and got word it was shut @ 0715 Saturday morning.......

                          The ones that will tend to develop because they are permanently camped in a higher profile competition and will tend to draw the better players into their camp from teams in a lower competition or outside .
                          Logically it will happen . Only the speed at which it will happen is in real debate .

                            Sorry about that .

                              Maybe he means merge UNSW/Easts with UTS Bats ?
