2017 Player & Coach Comings and Goings - Who's Going Where?

[bomber.]

I thought the fact that the ex swans academy guys were on the uni neafl rookie list meant they were still registered with their original club. That way they would be permitted to play for uni neafl on a week by week basis. I think there are about 6 North Shore players in this group who, if I am right, would still be North Shore. On the other hand James Brain from Manly is listed in the main squad which tends to say something else.

Does anyone have the answer to this?

Pretty sure it works the same way with the main list. I think players have a choice of playing with Sydney Uni or staying with their Sydney AFL club. So I reckon James Brain would be able to select Manly and play for them when he doesn't get a game in the NEAFL.

Wait and see I guess.

I think the issue raised before was what happens to those players who don't have a Sydney AFL club. Do they all play for Sydney Uni?

[saviour01]

Yeh i heard they scrapped the "draft" they use to have.

[mrns]

Bomber if you have brought in 8 interstate walk up starts for your prems and have got back 3 from uni where will the so called kids fit in? The only balancing here is the cheque book imo as 5 of the 8 are costing you 40k +.

your havin' a right laugh if you think north shore has 40k to throw away on 5-8 players

Forget about '2017 player and coach comings and goings - who's going where ?"..................

........What's happened to our very own Norris Lurker - "the people's choice ?" Norris, are you to be replaced by five RWO online contributors?
There is such vast expertise at our little table of knowledge here but nothing could ever replace you, Norris - would it take a pay rise to keep you at our games with your trusty camera phone, notepad and two loyal assistants with pooch ?
Will it be put to the vote with an election and can we hand out how-to-vote cards for you ?

Could there be a few extra "bomber-bucks" thrown your way to keep you as our mentor ?

LOL!

I'll still be around. But I can't be in 5 places at once. And between what I do on here, club stuff and galivanting around the country with my GWS gig, as well as holding down a job, I can't run the AFL Sydney media on my own.
As was noted on here, the AFL Sydney website was a bit light-on last year. They're all too aware of that and are keen to get some more content on this season. But without wanting to look like one person's running the entire propaganda unit lol......
But I'll have an involvement with it. All will be revealed soon.

Saviour I have a question as Ive also heard that young Roosy will be flown up for ten games plus finals and this was a little while ago from a non Sydney AFL or AFL source who I believe has reliable information. My question is what is the logic given that St George promote developing their juniors and dont pay players? Surely he is taking the spot of a local and who is paying given no obvious heartfelt connection to the red and white?

BTW I dont think you have a fixation on Camden rather you were using them as an example to prove your info shared here previously was on the money. However as Giants said JL will happily divulge their reason behind the big fellas departute. I cant comment on what happened but understand.

Also I believe the games tomorrow at Camden are off due to weather.

[Norris Lurker]

I'd be surprised if anyone gets to play any trial games this weekend. Even Blacktown ISP is closed.

Tara I can absolutely guarantee you that neither Dylan Roos, or any other player at StGeorge, is being paid in cash or in kind. It is not our culture. Maybe he just likes what St George has to offer him as a club. Not everyone is solely motivated by money.

I know nothing about it really. I saw his name in clearances the other day and asked a couple of people and Mudge said he was coming. A google search shows he went to Melb a couple of years ago, but as you prob know I have very little idea about players outside of our club with my background in rugby league. As div 4 coach he really isnt on my radar anyway.

That said, Andreww as VP would know and that sounds pretty definitive.

Is it untrue - yep!!

Sorry if I'm undermining your rally cry for round 1, but saying something that's untrue over and over doesn't make it true!! It's just boring.

Something else to agree with Barra on, Manly will be competitive. Plenty of good players there and a different voice to freshen them up. I reckon only 2 teams solid for prems top five, ECE and St G, with everyone else having a shot at the other 3 spots.

Makes it interesting!!

Bomber l take my hat off to you. You are correct when you say "by saying something that's untrue over and over doesn't make it true!! " I appreciate your honesty. Btw you do have 8 interstaters coming in from serious comps outside Sydney. interestingly that none are from the same comp. Which means many players must know how inviting you all are at bomberland? It must be like the neverland ranch where people will do anything to get in. You have 9 players on the neafl list that are linked backed to you + 8 interstaters + 6 from other Sydney clubs +plus your core group of 11. so my original question doesn't seem that far fetched. Where will you fit the kids in?

[Joel Ridge]

Where do UTS get all the players from with no junior feeding system? I looked them up, they have 5 mens team and one women's team.

Typically interstate (SA) and a lot of Irish. If you move to Sydney you are probably going to live in the Eastern Suburbs/city and most play for them.

How many of the team are locals?

[Pmcc2911]

I hear that Camden and Sth West Sydney have had to JV in the 19/2 comp because of numbers.
Doesn't paint a good picture for growth in the Sth West.

That is correct.
The AFL should be targeting those growth areas with extra promotion to schools and the community as well as helping the clubs ensure they have good admin and good coaching to ensure any new recruits enjoy their AFL experience.

Interesting with Roos to St George. What has happened to the u/19s team that won in 2014 were are these players. For a club that doesn't pay players I'm sure Roos isn't funding his own way up here to play.

Was bored so looked it up. AFL Sydney Match Centre - SportsTG

Waters, Sanderson, Anu, Stek, Tegg, Blecheff, He, Nabaki, Murray, Hill, Maldigri, Orr, Cooper, Rowlands still at the club. Interesting that Stek won a div 2 flag in 2012 and then won u19s in 2014. Expect a big year from him in div 4.

Guthrie and Jones played a couple of div 4 games last year but not really interested unlike their older brothers. Claridge retired. Swanson got K.O'd and the north shore player got 4 weeks suspension but can't play again.

Mcgrillen, Price, Kolster Kilpatrick - Price and Kolster are still playing back down in the gong where they are from. Kilpatrick and Kolster are playing interstate.

By my count, those players still at the club have combined for 298 Div 1 games and 67 Prem games (not including guys like Kilpatrick who played prems in 2015). Also have to factor in that 13 were still under 19s in 2015 and 4 in 2016.

I can't really speak for the growth of AFL across the South West in its entirety but the Camden junior club is going gangbusters at the moment and will most certainly result in some strong years ahead for the senior club.

In 2015 we had 121 players (9s-17s) registered with 1 under 17s side, in 2016 we had 194 players Registered (9s-15s, NO U17s) with 1 x 19s team for the senior club, the fact that we had No 17s team last year is part the reason why I believe the 19s have had to JV with South West as there were no kids filtering through. In 2017 currently we have 243 players registered (9s-17s) with 2 x 17s teams. We are working closely with the senior club to provide the best pathway and experience for the 17s to want to continue with their footy journey and play with the Cats in 2018.

Its NO secret that the housing development and growth in our area is huge, so if 100% growth of the junior club in the past 2 years is anything to go by footy in Camden is looking healthy in the number space for the future. Will just have to see how good some of the talent coming through is.
