Congratulations and thanks also to all Geelong Cats 22 18 4 0 153 72 of the players, coaches, umpires, volunteers and supporters for your Port Adelaide Power 22 15 7 0 114 60 contribution to Australian Football in the Greater Sydney area. West Coast Eagles 22 15 7 0 112 60 Kangaroos 22 14 8 0 113 56 2007 has seen AFL (NSW/ACT) continue to focus heavily on the develop- ment of junior and youth football at school and club level. Further developing Hawthorn Hawks 22 13 9 0 118 52 this base, with a strong pathway both within schools and across to clubs will Collingwood Magpies 22 13 9 0 101 52 ultimately provide the Greater Sydney Region with a higher quality and Sydney Swans 22 12 9 1 120 50 quantity of participants at senior level, than we experience today. For example the number of Adelaide Crows 22 12 10 0 110 48 registered players at junior/youth level has increased from 6,500 in 2004 to a projected 10,500 in St Kilda Saints 22 11 10 1 97 46 2007. It is pleasing from my position to see the number of our junior players progressing through to the senior levels. Brisbane Lions 22 9 11 2 105 40 Fremantle Dockers 22 10 12 0 103 40 The Talent Program continues to kick goals, which was highlighted by the RAMS winning the Essendon Bombers 22 10 12 0 91 40 Division 2 National Under 18's Championships with the average winning margin of their three Western Bulldogs 22 9 12 1 86 38 games being approximately eight goals. It is with anticipation that we await this years National Draft Melbourne LADDER AFL Demons 22 5 17 0 78 20 as it is hoped that the performance of the boys at these Championships will be rewarded come Draft time. Carlton Blues 22 4 18 0 74 16 Richmond Tigers 22 3 18 1 77 14 The AFL Scholarship Program is another great initiative for NSW/ACT youngsters aged between 15 and 17. I am pleased to report that currently we have 34 boys on scholarship with AFL clubs. Finals - Week 1 Season 2008 will see the East Coast Eagles open their doors for the first time at Bruce Purser Friday, September 7, 2007 Reserve; a new high quality venue to service the competition and represent a significant hub for the B - 2nd Qualifying Final - Port Adelaide vs West Coast @ AAMI Stadium code in Sydney’s expanding North West. Equally as exciting AFL (NSW/ACT) has been working Saturday, September 8, 2007 closely with all stakeholders to improve existing facilities with a number of key projects close to C - 1st Elimination Final - Hawthorn vs Adelaide @Telstra Dome coming to fruition. Improving the quality of environment is another critical element to the success of D - 2nd Elimination Final - Collingwood vs Sydney @ MCG (Night) our clubs and competitions. Sunday, September 9 2007 A - 1st Qualifying - Geelong vs Kangaroos @ MCG Senior clubs and competitions continue to be integral to the health of the game. Senior clubs pro- vide leadership in the football community and help create a strong presence for our code. Improved Finals - Week 2 (times & venues to be confirmed) facilities, strong administration and quality coaching underwrite the future success of club and code. The AFL (NSW/ACT) recognise the importance this, and in 2007 we increased our staffing in E - Semi Final 1 - Loser Match A vs Winner Match C Operations and also Club Development. Clubs will continue to see the benefit of these new roles in F - Semi Final 2 - Loser Match B vs Winner Match D the future. Finals - Week 3 (times & venues to be confirmed) Another pleasing aspect of 2007 is the finalisation of the Draft copy of the Sydney AFL Strategic MANAGER GENERAL THE FROM MESSAGE Plan, I look forward to delivering this to the clubs in the near future.
