New Competition Structure for 2018

[The Runner]

Sydney AFL have highlighted the grounds in the East as one of their biggest challenges to overcome. Village Green is definitely gone. Sounded like the Uni valued the space over the cricket and AFL teams.
Pretty impressive effort by the club to have turned things around under such uncertainty.

Word is Penno may be getting a Phelan medalist back?

Will St George lose a few to Camden and the Unis after their poor showing last year?

Pekay - just surprised it kept coming up in a footy thread

Oh I just like stirring up the Hillsong Blacktown Magic Kangaroos. I'm bored in retirement.

I hear Village Green could be in use this season for some of the lower division teams

Could be true. My info was from a year ago, though why would you put your lower grade teams at a good ground with great facilities and leave you top ones to go elsewhere.

Bit of a kick in the pants when the new guys took over the original patch at Trumper, and now have more claim to 'be beside the seaside' with Waverley as their home ground.

Or, it shows UTS have their @@@@@@ in a sock when it comes to off-field management. No disrespect to UNSW/ES and their management though. Although, Village Green would've been more appealing than Trumper when the Dogs/Walies merger came about.

Life is much more interesting at Trumper. I'm sure if the recent incident at the ground was during a footy match, the players would have respected the local lass a lot better.

We still finished 4th on the Ladder and lost in the first week of finals to the eventual winners. Sure, not what we would like but I doubt many would be flocking to Camden (who our reserves beat all year) and the unis (although seems like UNSW have lots of cash to throw around).

That said, did hear a rumor of Camden throwing cash at one of our 17 year olds who played a couple of div 1 games last year (never played prems) and is a local junior. Musn't have the pulling power of UNSW if that is their target.

Cute way of putting it Pekay - never heard that before. I had to ask Doctor Google for advice.
Now it might turn into one of my favourite sayings !

Old RAAF parlance from the roster blockers here. They have some good phrases interspersed with their oft-repeated war stories.

I think St George does ok with kids out of area.... Camden no doubt will be trying to boost list and good luck to them
