    If you played, coached or watched any games this weekend, what were your thoughts?

    Wests - undefeated after 2 rounds, and a whopping percentage booster against Sydney Hills. Are they a much-improved side?
    What about Manly, starting with two wins?
    Or Campelltown taking the fight up to UNSW-ES and only going down by a couple of kicks?

      Many should be OK this season and a lot better for the run next year, it's a fertile catchment area

      Looks like Lebanon United are struggling since their spititual leader's departure

        Wests improved but eagles depleted bigtime, long season there!

            Norris, I read with interest that you've ranked the PD teams in colour, and one colour is for "probable relegation".
            Have I missed something here ? Will the wooden spoon team be relegated ?

              I use the same colour scheme for the other division ladders below, that's where the red will appear late in the season when a wooden spooner becomes mathematically locked on.
              There's no plans that I'm aware of to relegate any of the current Premier Division teams.

                I can think of two early PD "contenders" for the wooden spoon who will be pleased to hear your news.

                    Please explain - sounds like a juicy rumour

                      I recall GB in the early planning days of NEAFL saying that the intention was for NEAFL clubs to have a Div 1 side as their reserves. Apparently later it was a condition of gaining a licence that NEAFL teams also had to have a team in the premier competition in their league.

                      It's a two edged sword really. Obviously we see East Coast and Uni struggling in PD, but if their two's were in Div 1, they would probably dominate given the flow of players they attract in the hope of playing NEAFL.

                      I think the Sydney clubs are on a 2 year licence which expires at the end of the year so things might change.

                        Not to much to explain, the league apparently has a preference that eagles and uni dont have a prem team. as said below it is a two edged sword which I would tend to agree with.

                          I like what you're saying SHH, except that SydUni isn't struggling in PD....they're on top undefeated. Could well be three from three after this weekend.
                          I watched their NEAFL team last weekend and they weren't too good. But they were missing some of the gun players - no idea why.

                          SydUni is a bit early to call yet I reckon.

                            The Sydney AFL Strategic plan 2013-2016 clearly states

                            " 2015/16
                            The New world

                            8. All senior divisions now stabilised as ten team competitions with conventional promotion and relegation processes. "


                            This is the direction we are heading and it is definitely the right way to go IMO.. long over due.
                            The new acadamy aligned under 16 and under 18 competitions for aspirational players is a fantastic intiiative as well.
                            Just need to sort out the NEAFL structure i reckon . The current SHE/SUSS doesnt work .

                            It seems to me that Sydney footy has some very positive changes ahead .
                            And good on the Sydney AFL for that.

                              Fair call if you look at the figures but see how they are going this time next month.

                              The SHEgurls team they beat resembled a D1/2 side and then accounted for a D3 Balmain outfit. Next week they face Illawarra who will also struggle (but I think get beat Uni). After that, the honeymoon will be over.

                              Good luck to the students though, they are doing well down through the grades and a far, far better job than the Hillsong mob.
