New Competition Structure for 2018

[justabaraker]

Looks like Masters is going all sheep stations. I was looking forward to having a fun kick on a Friday night with a few beers afterwards.

I don't understand - is "going all sheep stations" a good or bad thing ?
And is it a good thing or a bad thing for you to be drinking beers on Friday night ?

Furthermore off topic, but how terrible is the Sydney Afl Website content these days. There hasnt even been an announcement to restructuring of the competition yet which just over a month to go. Tabs Still saying 2017 we have gone backwards since 2015.

So, the FUTURE DIRECTIONS report is now up on the website.
Is anyone willing to give us a few bullet points so we don't have to wade through all the new-age lingo ? Is it as per the 20-odd pages of this thread ?

In all seriousness it is
1. Return to the SFL / SFA Model
2. Promote Camden to the Premier Division to have a team in the west
3. Merge the Senior and Junior administration into a single body
4. Maximum on 16 on the field for juniors

The rest is waffle.........

I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Masters before the league took it over. It may be the same still, I dunno. My drinking days are over anyway. I'm just terrified of breaking a leg again, 2 in 7 years was enough to deal with.

Totally agree and it was done with them stating everyone was consulted so well when everyone wasnt.

woweeeeee, it's going to be a fun year in the SydneyAFL.

With Prems, Prems Reserves, U19s, Division 2 all premier division clubs, this should be interesting to bring back the old full-day clashes between clubs!

Should make for some rowdy (good) supporting from the lower grades later in the day.

mrns and Pmc2911 - stop living in the past. Players in the lower grades play and go home.

Wests 77 St G 42, both teams missing players.

Not that this time of the year means a whole lot, but would have that's a good result for Wests after all the players they've lost.

North Shore beat Penno by about 37 on the weekend. I don't think Penno don't worry too much about this time of the year, but winning beats losing!

Penno won the prem ressies and div 1 games in reasonably tight contests and North Shore won the 19's.

Great to see some footy!!

Around the grounds today?

East Coast defeated Terrigal-Avoca 16. 13. 109 to 6. 3. 39

[saviour01]

St George beat Manly 8.9 57 - 8.5 53
Big win in reserves, probably 10 goals to 1 in 15/12 minute quarters.
19s ours were up by heaps, Manly probably won the second half. Not sure on the final score.

See st George active again recruiting juniors way outside there catchment zone.
