www.sydneyafl.com.au www.sydneyafl.com.au AFL FROM THE EDITOR Another closely fought round shows the P W L D % Pts competition for spots on the AFL Sydney Geelong 12 12 0 0 142.9 48 ladder is stronger than ever. Collingwood 11 10 1 0 178.3 40 Carlton 12 9 2 1 138.7 38 Hawthorn 12 9 3 0 132.9 36 It was another remarkable round of AFL Sydney Premier Division action, with the highest margin being 22 points out of the five matches played over the course of the weekend. West Coast 12 8 4 0 123.3 32 Sydney 12 7 4 1 104.3 30 Symbolising the close nature of matches played, the Sunday afternoon clash between Illawarra and North Shore was decided with less than a minute to go. Illawarra stormed back from five goals behind, only to be denied a famous victory Fremantle 12 6 6 0 91.4 24 by the youngest player on the ground, in Rory Pryor. Essendon 12 5 6 1 115.1 22 The story was the same in Division Two, with two matches decided by a point, and Sydney University turning the tables on Auburn, by four points. It was a great weekend of football action considering the re-organisation of games necessary with Melbourne 12 5 6 1 102.2 22 the wet weather earlier in the week. Richmond 12 5 6 1 93.5 22 So to this weekend, where matches will be played on Saturday and Sunday. North Melbourne 12 5 7 0 101.6 20 In Premier Division, Western Suburbs enjoyed their best weekend of an otherwise bleak season to date, with wins in St Kilda 12 4 7 1 91.6 18 Seniors, Reserves and Thirds. Their win in the top grade against UNSW was far from pretty, but they will be buoyed by Western Bulldogs 12 4 8 0 87.8 16 their effort and have a good chance of making it two wins in a row against an improved UTS outfit. The Bats‘ were slow out of the blocks in their Friday night encounter with Balmain, but more than matched the top-placed side after quarter- Adelaide 12 3 9 0 78.1 12 time. Isaac Irvin and Simon Fitzgerald led the way in a strong team performance, and will be pivotal in limiting the supply to Matt Eurell. Brisbane 12 2 10 0 77.4 8 Further west at Monarch Oval, Campbelltown are playing better than a side with no wins to their name past the halfway Port Adelaide 12 2 10 0 69.2 8 stage of the competition. They kept pace with St George away from home last weekend, but the task does not get any Gold Coast 11 2 9 0 53.8 8 easier against Pennant Hills. The Demons were gallant in their 12-point loss to Sydney University, with Kieran Wright again leading the way. The Linsen brothers will be important in helping Campbelltown control the ball on the big ground. In the final Saturday afternoon match, North Shore can keep in touch with the top three, with a win over UNSW at Gore Hill Oval. The Bombers, as mentioned above, came from behind to defeat Illawarra, and in the process, gave themselves Western Bulldogs 14.16-100 def. Adelaide 10.10-70 breathing space from the chasing pack. In contrast, the Bulldogs lost ground and dropped outside the top five after their Hawthorn 19.15-129 def. Gold Coast 8.10-58 disappointing loss to the Magpies. Hayden Nichols continued from his form in the Under 23 representative fixture. The leadership of Max Collett and Pete Kefalas needs to help the Bulldogs right the ship. North Melbourne 17.9-111 def Essendon 12.18-90 Richmond 18.17-125 def Brisbane 14.10-94 The Foxtel Match of the Round is at Drummoyne Oval on Sunday with Balmain hosting Sydney University. It promises to Geelong 15.10-100 def St Kilda 11.6-72 be a cracking contest between the sides first and third on the ladder respectively. The Students will have extra motivation to overturn their Round 5 defeat to the Dockers at Henson Park. Neither were overly impressive last start, but there is Melbourne 22.17-149 def Fremantle 8.12-60 enough class over the park with Jason Saddington, Janis Blums and Jerome Farrell (Balmain) set to line up against the Carlton 15.10-100 def Sydney 10.6-66 likes of Adam Campbell, Craig Moller and returning star, Ben Mankarious. West Coast 15.20-110 def Port Adelaide 13.10-88 The final match at 4.10pm is at Bruce Purser where East Coast are favoured to return strongly after the bye against St Collingwood Bye George. The Dragons registered a tradesman-like win over the Blues, but will need all players firing against the might of the Eagles. Next weekend marks our annual Call to Arms Round. To mark the occasion, we will be releasing a special Football Re- ROUND 14 ROUND 15 cord. On top of this, clubs will be out in force asking for donations– with all proceeds to go to the Cancer Council to be Friday Friday used in the fight against men‘s cancer.

    Sydeny AFL Season Opener Release 2

    MEDIA RELEASE - AFL (NSW/ACT) Wednesday, April 2 Henson Park to host five Sydney AFL matches this Saturday With the celebrations for 150 years of Australian Football underway, Sydney AFL will be creating some history of its own this weekend, with an entire round of senior football scheduled over one day at Henson Park for the season opener. This Saturday, footy fans will be treated to over 12 hours of Australian Football action, with all five Round One matches of the Sydney AFL taking place at the newly renovated facility. Henson Park, home of the Newtown Jets, has recently undergone a $250,000 upgrade, and this will be the first opportunity for Sydney AFL to take centre stage at the refurbished ground. Garry Burkinshaw, Senior Football Operations Coordinator for AFL (NSW/ACT) said that this was an exciting milestone for the Sydney AFL competition and signaled the leagues continued development as a premier sporting competition. “This is an important year for Australian Football across all levels of competition and Sydney AFL is no exception. As a competition the standard and support is growing rapidly and being able to provide fans with an entire day and night of Australian Football is a fantastic opportunity. “It is also the perfect platform to showcase some of the emerging talent coming through. Fans will be able to see the next generation of AFL stars in action with many of the NSW Rams players taking part in matches, along with some of the AFL Scholarship holders,” said Burkinshaw. The Sydney AFL competition has developed some true champions over the years with no less than 13 players currently on AFL lists.

    AFL Sydney Strategy Guiding Principles

    AFL Sydney Strategy Guiding Principles October 2015 Strategic Framework The AFL Sydney Strategy Group has formulated a strategic framework which is aimed at guiding the ongoing development and success of community club football in Sydney. After consultation throughout AFL Sydney the following Purpose Statement, Strategic Pillars and Guiding Principles have been established. AFL SYDNEY PURPOSE STATEMENT To grow and enhance the community football experience in Sydney in a sustainable and inclusive way. AFL SYDNEY STRATEGIC PILLARS • Participation • Clubs • Talent AFL SYDNEY GUIDING PRINCIPLES Below each Strategic Pillar will sit three Guiding Principles. Future decisions around the development, growth and health of community club football in Sydney will be considered with specific reference to the relevant Guiding Principle. © Australian Football League 2013. This document is confidential and intended solely for the use and information of the addressee. 2 Guiding Principles - Participation The structure and rules of the AFL Sydney competition will evolve to encourage the ongoing growth of 1 football in greater Sydney. This will specifically ensure that entry level players have ample opportunity to participate in the competition in terms of both geographical accessibility and playing standard. In order to achieve the highest quality Premier Division competition, participation in Premier Division will require clubs to demonstrate strength and sustainability in finances, sponsorship, administration, 2 facilities, teams and on-field performance. Consideration will also be given to the geographic location of the club in order to ensure that the competition is representative of both demand and the Greater Sydney population base where possible. The AFL will co-ordinate its resources and work with clubs to promote the greatest possible participant 3 recruitment and retention, as well as transition from Auskick, school and juniors to senior football in order to maximise participation and ensure the ongoing sustainability of all clubs in Sydney.
  • AFL NSW/ACT STATEMENT 2021 AFL Sydney Community Football

    AFL NSW/ACT STATEMENT 2021 AFL Sydney Community Football

    AFL NSW/ACT STATEMENT Monday, 16 August 2021 AFL Sydney community football season cancelled It is with regret that AFL NSW/ACT has made the difficult decision today to cancel the 2021 AFL Sydney community football season due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the current COVID-19 outbreak across Greater Sydney. This decision also extends to our NAB AFL Auskick programs in the region. The impacted competitions are: AFL Sydney Seniors AFL Sydney Harbour Juniors AFL Sydney Western Sydney Juniors All NAB AFL Auskick Centres We appreciate today’s announcement to cancel all AFL Sydney competitions for the season will disappoint our many players, coaches, umpires and volunteers who invest so much time, effort and energy in the season. AFL NSW/ACT shares in the immense disappointment to be unable to complete the 2021 competition in its entirety however today’s outcome is the unfortunate reality of the challenges the pandemic continues to throw at the community. AFL Sydney would like to take the opportunity to thank our stakeholders for the constructive feedback provided in enabling this difficult decision to be made. In reaching our decision, it became increasingly apparent that with the continued escalating health crisis there can be, understandably, no NSW Government sanctioned roadmap out of the lockdown for sport provided at the moment. It is equally clear that the timeframes of a possible return and ability to resume competitions are now not viable for winter sporting codes. Accordingly, no premierships, medals or awards will be given for 2021 cancelled competitions. We’d like to acknowledge the collegiate approach shown by our colleagues in the other major winter codes, particularly NSWRL, Football, Netball, Football, Rugby Union and Hockey, who have been forced to make similar heartbreaking decisions in relation to their own competitions.
