Afl from the Editor www.sydneyafl.com.au www.sydneyafl.com.au AFL FROM THE EDITOR There were few surprises in Premier Division P W L D % Pts action on the weekend, as the Lower Collingwood 18 17 1 0 186.1 68 Divisions gear up for their upcoming finals Geelong 19 17 2 0 160.4 68 series. Hawthorn 18 14 4 0 135.6 56 Carlton 19 13 5 1 136.3 54 Last weekend, the top two sides in East Coast and Balmain continued their winning ways, as Pennant Hills, llawarra and St George also posted strong wins. West Coast 18 13 5 0 121.6 52 This weekend kicks off with Pennant Hills hosting UNSW on Saturday afternoon at Mike Kenny Oval. Pennant Hills come St Kilda 18 10 7 1 111.9 42 into the match on the back of a strong four-quarter performance to claim the Blacktown Mayoral Shield last Sunday after- noon against Western Suburbs. There were eleven individual goalkickers, with Tim Scoular and Josh Keen particularly Sydney Swans 18 9 8 1 108.8 38 impressive for the victors. Conversely, UNSW suffered another last-quarter fadeout to eventually lose against St George at Essendon 19 9 9 1 100.1 38 home. Jeremy Kiel was a strong contributor and was best for his side with a three-goal showing. St George, as mentioned, won well last week to continue their impressive late-season form. They face a tough prospect at home this weekend, how- Fremantle 18 9 9 0 93.4 36 ever, against Balmain. The Dragons should not be overawed after effectively ending Illawarra‘s finals aspirations the week before at Olds Park. Nick Ryan was monumental in last week‘s showing with seven goals in a best-on-ground performance. North Melbourne 19 8 11 0 98.8 32 Balmain are abuzz leading into their first finals appearance in twelve years. They dismantled North Shore at Henson Park last Friday Night. Tim Schmidt has been impressive of late and his field kicking is one of the reasons Balmain are a Melbourne 18 7 10 1 83.7 30 strong attacking outfit. Matt Edwins and Jason Coulloupas have also been in impressive form of late. Western Bulldogs 18 7 11 0 93.9 28 North Shore have a chance to turn around last week‘s defeat at home against Sydney University, who are coming off the Adelaide 18 6 12 0 78.3 24 bye. The Bombers missed the input of big ruckman, Dave Martin, who was sidelined after a strong start. The coaching staff will be looking for improvement across their list, against the Students who are building nicely into another finals campaign. Richmond 18 5 12 1 81.0 22 They soundly beat Pennant Hills a fortnight ago, and embody an attacking mindset through the likes of Adam Campbell, Tim Brisbane 18 3 15 0 78.1 12 Barrett and Ben Mankarious . Gold Coast 18 3 15 0 54.4 12 The final Saturday night game will be played under the North Dalton lights, with Illawarra playing host to East Coast. The Lions came home with a wet sail to kick-start their 40th birthday celebrations against UTS. Saying this, they were patchy in Port Adelaide 18 2 16 0 65.4 8 the middle stanza of the match and will need a marked improvement to challenge the ladder-leading Eagles who also came home strong against Campbelltown. The lone Sunday afternoon encounter doubles as the Foxtel match, with UTS at home against Western Suburbs. UTS had a chance to run away with the match against Illawarra, only to fall away like a handful of matches this year. Michael Atkinson St Kilda 16.17-113 def. Fremantle 10.12-72 was again superb for the Bats to continue his stellar season. Western Suburbs have been hit hard by injuries and have Geelong 29.14-188 def. Gold Coast 6.2-38 struggled for winning form this season. Stephen Hudson and Dave Cusick tried hard last week, and will again be called Carlton 21.8-134 def Melbourne 7.16-58 upon in a winnable match for the Magpies. Essendon 15.10-100 def Sydney Swans 14.15-99 This weekend marks the last round before the finals for a number of the lower divisions (namely Divisions 2, 4, 5 and U18 Collingwood 23.21-159 def Port Adelaide 3.3-21 Challenge Cup). Division Two has arguably been the most competitive despite the final five being set. Penrith rightfully sit on top of the ladder but will face strong competition from Holroyd-Parramatta and Sydney University. Auburn and Balmain Adelaide 16.14-110 def Brisbane 16.9-105 loom as the dark horses and could easily claim the Premiership. Division Four sees Macquarie University and Penrith hav- Hawthorn 15.13-103 def North Melbourne 13.8-86 ing a strong ladder lead from the rest of the competition, as is the case in Division Five, with Southern Power unbeaten after West Coast 22.15-147 def Richmond 14.6-90 sixteen rounds. Campbelltown also remains unbeaten in the Challenge Cup competition but they will need to be on their game with Mac Uni Warriors, Manly and Holroyd-Parramatta, in particular, looming as potential threats. Western Bulldogs Bye This will also be the last time we see Camden and Nor West on the field this season. I would like to take the opportunity to thank them for their contribution in 2011. We look to seeing them again in 2012. ROUND 21 ROUND 22 There will be no shortage of AFL in Sydney with the International Cup commencing in Sydney on Saturday (at Blacktown). Friday Friday Mens and womens matches will be played over the course of the week, finishing on Saturday 20th August.

  • UNDER 19 DIVISION I with the Introduction of Divisionalisation Into Sydney Football in 2009, the Titles of the Various Grades Altered
    NSW AUSTRALIAN FOOTBALL HISTORY SOCIETY Inc AFL SYDNEY— PREMIERS & FINALS PARTICIPANTS UNDER 19 DIVISION I With the introduction of divisionalisation into Sydney football in 2009, the titles of the various grades altered. This grade began in 1957 as an Under 18 competition. Previous to this similar aged grades were conducted in Sydney by the Metropolitan Australian National Football Association. The league conducted the competition from 1957 although the age grouping at times fluctuated between Under 18 and Under 19. Apart from the Premier Division (major league first grade), there is promotion and relegation in all competitions.

  • From the Editor
    www.sydneyafl.com.au FROM THE EDITOR It has been 196 days since East Coast Eagles held aloft the Bill Hart Premiership trophy how- ever all that will be forgotten this weekend when the 2011 AFL Sydney competitions com- mence. It has been a hectic pre-season with many new and exciting developments taking place. Luke Turner has taken on the role of Football Operations Co-ordinator for AFL Sydney. Luke comes from Coffs Harbour and we wish him all the best in this position. On-field, UTS have been promoted to the Premier Division after being a dominant force in the lower divisions over a number of years. Given that the club is just 11 years young. There inclusion means that there will be eleven teams in both the Premier Division and the Division One competitions. Overall 79 teams have nominated for the 2011 competitions, this is an increase of eight teams from 2010 and for the first time we will have a Division Five competition which means there will be six senior competitions and two Under 18’s competi- tions. With promotion and relegation taking effect all competitions look as though they will be keenly fought. Highlights of this weekends opening round of matches include East Coast Eagles raising their 2011 Premiership flag prior to the Grand Final replay with Sydney University at Bruce Purser Reserve. UTS will make their Premier Division debut against arch rivals UNSW/ES at historic Trumper Park. Western Suburbs will also make a return to the renovated Picken Oval when they host St George.

    www.sydneyafl.com.au www.sydneyafl.com.au AFL FROM THE EDITOR Not only is the Premier Division tight but the story P W L D % Pts is the same across the eight divisions in the AFL Geelong 8 8 0 0 138.3 32 Sydney competition. Collingwood 8 7 1 0 164.1 28 Hawthorn 8 6 2 0 129.8 24 Essendon 9 5 3 1 133.2 22 It is pleasing to see that the competition across all grades has not only produced close results, but also competition for all Carlton 8 5 2 1 120.6 22 spots on the ladder. This is arguably the most competitive season in AFL Sydney history, and this is a credit to the clubs and also the Divisionalisation structure employed by the League.
