Afl from the Editor www.sydneyafl.com.au www.sydneyafl.com.au AFL FROM THE EDITOR East Coast wrapped up the Minor P W L D % Pts Premiership last weekend in Premier Collingwood 20 19 1 0 179.0 76 Division, as the Lower Division Finals kicked Geelong 20 18 2 0 157.7 72 off at Henson Park. Hawthorn 20 16 4 0 145.3 64 West Coast 20 15 5 0 126.3 60 East Coast finished on top of the AFL Sydney Premier Division ladder courtesy of a 110-point win in front of their home crowd at Bruce Purser Reserve. It was a double celebration for the Eagles as they also claimed the Club Carlton 21 14 6 1 133.8 58 Championship due to their performances over the weekend. They leapfrogged Penrith, who themselves, have enjoyed minor premiership success in Division Two and Division Four. St Kilda 20 10 9 1 108.4 42 Sydney Swans 20 10 9 1 106.1 42 In a busy weekend of football, the Lower Division Finals also begun at Henson Park, with the weather for once being kind, allowing for open and free-flowing football to be played in matches on Saturday and Sunday. The Divi- Essendon 21 10 10 1 99.7 42 sion Two clashes were the highlight with both matches being decided by less than three goals. With winners, there are also losers, and unfortunately the weekend saw Auburn (Division Two), Holroyd-Parramatta (Division Four), North Melbourne 20 9 11 0 104.1 36 Sydney University (Division Five) and East Coast Eagles (Under 18 Challenge Cup) bow out of their respective competitions. Fremantle 20 9 11 0 87.6 36 Western Bulldogs 20 8 12 0 95.2 32 So, to this weekend, where finals will be played across all grades on Saturday and Sunday. Richmond 20 7 12 1 84.7 30 The Qualifying Final for the Premier Divisions will be played on Saturday at Bruce Purser Reserve. In the top Melbourne 20 7 12 1 82.9 30 grade, Balmain have enjoyed a fairytale 2011 season and will favour their chances against Sydney University. The Dockers finished equal on wins with the ladder-topping Eagles, and are structured well under Nic Fosdike‘s tute- Adelaide 20 7 13 0 82.7 28 lage. Jason Saddington and Nick Davis lead a strong forward-line, while the midfield contains plenty of experience Brisbane 20 4 16 0 82.0 16 and can afford to rotate the likes Troy Luff, Ben Taggart, Tim Schmidt and Jason Coulloupas. Gold Coast 20 3 17 0 54.0 12 On the flip side, the Students have experienced some hiccups along the way, however, their best is capable of Port Adelaide 20 2 18 0 61.2 8 beating any side in the competition. After a surprise loss to North Shore in Round 19, they got back on the right track with a 68-point win over Illawarra. Ben Mankarious will be vital in the midfield, and they also have talent across every line with Tim Barton and Tom Elkington. Craig Moller could well hold the key in the ruck duels. Balmain hold the head-to-head advantage with two wins against the Students, in Rounds 5 and 12, by an average Hawthorn 10.18-78 def. Carlton 8.18-66 of 17 points. It all points to another tight contest on Saturday afternoon. Adelaide 18.17-125 def. Gold Coast 9.10-64 West Coast 20.14-134 def Essendon 11.11-77 In the Elimination Final on Sunday at Blacktown, Pennant Hills and North Shore have been neck-and-neck all year. North Melbourne 21.17-143 def Fremantle 6.9-45 They finished the eighteen rounds equal on match ratio, and with only seven percentage points separating one another. Collingwood 14.18-102 def Brisbane 13.6-84 Sydney 10.23-83 def St Kilda 10.8-68 Both sides come into the match off a win, with North Shore particularly impressive since their loss to Balmain. One of the main reasons for their revival is the form of Dale Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald has added steel to their midfield, and Western Bulldogs 24.13-157 def Port Adelaide 15.7-97 along with the class of Ted Strudwick and Ron Wason, are key players for the Bombers. Pat Brackin is a potential Richmond 17.15-117 def Melbourne 17.8-110 X-factor, as well, given his size and agility. Geelong Bye Pennant Hills bounced back to their disappointing loss at home against UNSW, with a five-point win away to St George. Tim Scoular has been in form in the last fortnight for the Demons. Jay Lewis and Damian Dell‘Aquila are important players in the midfield. The Demons can also take confidence out of winning their last encounter in ROUND 23 ROUND 24 Round 15 by eleven points. Friday Friday Fremantle v Collingwood @ Patersons Collingwood v Geelong @ MCG The mix of competing teams should ensure big crowds this weekend. Sydney University will be represented in Saturday Saturday three of the four Premier Division finals on Saturday, with eight different teams competing on Sunday.
