What I've heard during the season was that the boys in their D4 team could very well play in the D2 team but prefer not to / don't want to train leaving UTS with a below average D2 side. I guess they prefer winning D4 premierships then challenging themselves by moving up to D3Comment

"What I've heard" .... always a good start to a story.Comment

When we beat them with a goal after the siren in round 15 we had 12 blokes who had played prems and only 3 guys in their first year (everyone else ex div 1). Granted, some guys like Rodney Craig and Shane Demir hadn't played prems in a while, but it was a very good team we put out that day.
Wheres Luke Shannon? Surely he can set the record straight.Comment

UTS finished 5th on the table in regular season and only made the finals on percentage just ahead of you guys.........Comment

Indeed. But some weeks we had 12 ex prems players, others we had 2. We had close to a full strength team that day and only just rolled them. Our loses v Camden, North shore and Mac uni were with much weaker sides and we beat Sydney Uni by a few goals with a weaker side.
Honestly, that side we put out that day was way better than anything I played in back in div 2 days. Only beating them after the siren (kicking 9.17 didnt help) was fairly surprising and everyone said they will go on to win it from 5th. Granted Camden, uni's and norths could have had weaker sides v us but everyone thought they would win it from 5th.Comment

One thing I noticed about both prem GFers. They looked old.

Missing the point H.
You have won three premierships in a row with no promotion from that division . Yet you still request to stay in the same division for 2017 and it looks like you will probably get your way again.
A lot of people dont think it's fair .

Merry Christmas to local footy fans in Sydney.
If you have some time give us all update on your thoughts for next year. A bit of footy reading is better than that @@@@ty book given you to read over Christmas. I am re-posting my thoughts on 2017.
1. Baulko ? losing few, but will gain a couple due to $ - should be top 3
2. St George ? another strong year ? this could be their year ? my favorite for the Premiership
3. North Shore ? could be Sydney AFL flag favorites, an amazing turnaround in the last 5 years - also hearing the North Shore $ is starting to flow.
4. UTS ? who knows?, but always competitive. Based on who moves to Sydney from SA or the Amo?s could be 6th to Prems
5. Penno ? could be on the slide
6. Manly ? outstanding coach appointment, but will players follow
7. Wests ? hearing lots of good things from Picken the Smokey this year
8. UNSW ?great coach, and if there young players come on who knows.
9. Sydney Uni ? again who knows, continue to do amazing recruiting for the NEAFL team, and if that depth flows through to Prems could be 9 to 3 ? but that?s about as high as they could go
Very exciting for the completion!
What are your thoughts.Last edited by Tom Wills; 23 December 2016, 10:19 AM.Comment

1. Baulko ? Agree top 3, prob still favourites. Even though losing a few word is they have bought others.
2. St George ? We should be up there. Another year older for that year group of gutters, jonesy, wynny, X etc. Losing a few, prob gain a couple. Depends what the 19s who aged out want to do though, based on pre season a few should be pushing for seniors
3. North Shore ? I reckon would be up there. Despite a 14 goal loss in a prelim, would be one of the best sides going round. Especially if they are buying a few as the chatter suggests.
4. UTS ? I don't rate them. Go alright on the smaller grounds but if finals are played at BISP then they need to change their game plan because they don't seem to beat top sides on big fields.
5. Penno ? Who knows, could be first, could be near the bottom. Have always beaten us since I've been around and then didn't see prems play them this year.
6. Manly ? Good coach, will they have enough cash left over for players? Won't win the comp with last seasons squad.
7. Wests ? I don't rate them. Theres guys in their 22 who wouldn't get a start in our div 1. Need some juniors or at least more depth.
8. UNSW ? Good juniors, dunno why it doesn't transfer into prems players.
9. Sydney Uni ? Could be anything. Sucks versing them on weeks where NEAFL has the bye but prob won't make the 5.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
