Past players day at olds. Looks like we have a fair few coming back for a kick in div 4 if I can find a spot for them. Should be a good day with special jerseys being worn in prems and auctioned off.

[saviour01]

and we cop forfeits in div 4 and 19s1. Devastating.

[5yearplan]

Magic 2 forfeits for 19s?

[Norris Lurker]

and we cop forfeits in div 4 and 19s1. Devastating.Disappointing. You'd have had some golden oldies keen to re-live past glories one more time. And to have two forfeits on one day is rotten luck.
Hopefully they'll still come and I'm sure the tales of the past will be entertaining......

[saviour01]

so thats 2 forfeits for sws in div 4, 2 for magic in 19.2, 1 for manly in div 4.

Any others?

It's hard to understand why the AFL don't put Magic down to 19s Div2 as they have requested as at the moment all that will happen is a lot of their players will stop playing AFL at the end of the year.

Seems like a lot have stopped playing after first few rounds if they are already forfeiting. I wouldnt travel across sydney for 20-30 goal floggings each week and im sure most 17-19 year olds could think of better ways to spend their saturdays. Its a shame. Every other code would have dropped them down. Yet for sydney afl its too hard to re do draws.

I can't see why the AFL would need to redo the draw? 19's Div 2 teams have a bye each week, just put them in there.

[ShortHalfHead]

And to think Blacktown nominated two 19's at the beginning of the year. It's a bit ridiculous that new 19's teams have to submit a 25 or so player list before being admitted to the comp, whilst existing 19's don't, given the 19's are very transient. Last year, they made the grand final with predominately second year 19's, made up almost entirely from players out of area. Dropping them a grade during the season would cause a precedent.

It would create a good precedent for those teams that ask to be regraded because they are losing players. #1 goal of the AFL should be to retain players and attract more players but their action here is doing the opposite.

Good call - why would you travel for a 8am/8.30am/9am game for a flogging. Just another point saviour if you ask for teams to go down in grade why not put teams up in grade NOW if they are the one's doing the flogging - (DIV 4 St George)

Precedent was set years ago but unfortunately we havnt had a good administrator since Garry Burkinshaw who was prepared to go against the grain.

Blacktown 19 two forfeits have been (1) Home game (2) 5.00 PM game away. Against the two undefeated teams. Maybe they were trying to protect their percentages :). And fair point, clubman. I'm sure that Saviour would be on board with having a potential flag taken from him

Mate I agree. We look too good for div 4 this year. Half a team out last week and we still win by 100 with 18 players (and a few injures in first quarter.)

Problem is come finals time the uni's will drop their players and UTS may win their 4th in a row (and not go up yet again). We had 10 players play in div 1 last week and they were up 60-10 at 3/4 time. We have good depth and I'll be very disappointed if I don't captain/coach this side to a premiership.

[saviour01]

Saying that we are probably going to start getting beat now!

Looking at div 3, the teams who went up last year are 1st, 2nd and 4th so probably not too much difference between them. And the team that dropped from div 3 last year is 8th in ours and got beat by 180 by the team we beat 110-1!

You are completely right here. Fair to say most would prefer to see St George go thru undefeated and win the flag, than UTS come from 5th and win it with a team mixed in from Div 2.
Considering you misssed finals on % last year, fair to say you'd earn a flag this year, not steal one.

RE: Magic 19s... objectively it seems straight forward. Apparently the only thing blocking it is precedence? Are we really prepared to let policy stop us from kids playing footy in a comp they would probably be mid table in?

Politics aside, kids playing footy should be what we care about most, and it seems lost in bureaucracy here. If Gil was sat down and asked what he'd prefer, surely it's participation??

Your team still has good players that can play or have played at good level over the years. Yes as you said that they don't train at times so they don't get picked in higher grades. Other clubs in that grade have players that never played AFL - just mates having a kick (Div4/Div5) so that is why the structure of divisions is so out of wack.

[tara]

I say it again there is already precedence for dropping a team down a division during a season.

[The Runner]

What's the precedence?

Clubman makes a fair point. In some other sports, re-grading after 3 weeks evens out the comps quickly. Would re-fixturing be the biggest barrier?

I cant recall if Towns 19's were relegated mid season some years ago Pace would probably have a better recollection but I was definitely contacted by the AFL about my thoughts on exactly this scenario on more than one occasion involving more than one club - one of those clubs didn't take the opportunity.

As I said earlier though the current administration don't seem to be willing to made bold decisions.

[Norris Lurker]

The difficulty of re-fixturing would be why it doesn't happen - and it would be a logistical nightmare.
But despite the difficulty, there may be times it has to happen. With Magic forfeiting twice already and getting belted every other game, there's a case to drop them down. Players aren't going to travel across town for an 8am game where they're not going to be competitive. They're clearly not going to last the season in this division - and that's no good for anyone.

[Clubman]

9.30am I think should be the start of the day for Games. Give teams from across town time (Egs: Liverpool to Manly 9.30 start - arrive 8.30 - leave home 7am ??) Not 8am start leave home 5.30am - Why GO

Definitely. We have 4 or 5 brand new guys but more than half the team did a preseason expecting to play div 1. Throw in a few who dont train who have played prems and probably would be elsewhere its a very handy team.

When i started the side last year i was hitting up mates who havent played before and we got a couple of hidings. The standard isnt as bad as many thought. Ive had a few div 1 guys say stuff like "if i have to play div 4 id think about retiring" but then have a kick, realise its still an alright standard. We had a swans academy kid play last year and thought he was going to kick 10. He touched the ball once in the first half before i dragged him.

Its a decent standard, we just have benefitted from having a second 19s with all those kids aging out hanging around and expecting to play div 1 but we habe too many numbers.

I dont want to sit here and sound like im bragging and putting @@@@ on other clubs (like i normally do), we just have good numbers this year and are 5-0 in div 1 and div 4.

Hard though, if we have all 5 at home we are lucky we can play under lights. Penno have a second ground. If we ever get a 4th senior side and a womens we will prob have to get olds 2 up to a decent standard. Because you cant play 6 or 7 games at home in a day on one field. Or just never have all teams at home which ruins that whole club feel people want to bring back with the seniors/reserves/19s structure.

Sounds good - The standard is always good when your winning 180 to 1

[saviour01]

Last year it was better.

We fielded a half decent side away at north shore. Got beat by 10 goals. Very similar to last weekends side at manly.

The last round we needed to beat camden at home to make finals. They flogged us by 6 or 7 goals. We had a good side that day.

UTS have hardly anyone they had last year (i think only 6 or 7 when we played them). Blacktown are much better and looked good.

The other thing is we have mainly played at home. Its well known div 4 sides dont travel as shown by only having 18 last week.

I see where you're coming from. I recall Penrith playing an 8am game at Gore Hill a few weeks ago. The Rams probably have players living in the Blue Mountains who would have been driving in the dark to get there.
But when you've got 5-6 games to get through in a day, you've got to start early or it'd be a very late night for the players in the last game.
A lot of clubs these days have 5-6 teams. Which is a good thing, it means more people are playing our game. But on game day there's usually a lot more games to get through, so starting early has to happen. I can't see any way around it.

We always try and work around being fair with fixtures in elevating some grades to a later time if they are from afar. Of course with the "getback" exception of certain clubs :) And I was surprised we got 22 of our thirds (Div 5) to Gore Hill for an 8 AM start. Yep, they left in the dark, but it was a quick trip in, more than double the time on the way back.

[Norris Lurker]

If you think every goal for and against doesn't count, just maybe it can. Remarkably in Premier Division, between third and fifth; Pennant Hills, St George and North Shore are level on wins and losses, with just 0.67% separating the three teams. I don't think I've ever seen a ladder as tight as that.

[saviour01]

True. Anyone know why the league doesn't bother with law 5.19 any more?

5.19 Where a forfeit occurs:
(a) The team receiving the forfeit shall;
(i) be attributed a �win�.
(ii) have its "points for" increased by the average of the points scored by the winners of the
other matches in the round.
(iii) have no points added to its "points against".
(iv) submit a team sheet for the purpose of player eligibility for finals.
(v) submit invoice to league for $100 compensation or $200 if the forfeit is communicated
to the league after 8pm Friday (not applicable if practice match played)
(b) The forfeiting team shall;
(i) be attributed a �loss�
(ii) have no points added to its "points for".
(iii) have its "points against" increased by the average of the points scored by the winners
of the other matches in the round.
(iv) fined $200 if communicated by the 8pm Friday deadline or fi

No change to f/a with any of the forfeits. Could cost a team finals.

[ShortHalfHead]

I know we had 22 kids front to Monarch only to win by forfeit. 100 km return trip and have to pay the physio for 4 hours. The bylaw has been amended. There are some by-laws changed that still haven't been amended on the website

Thats never good. It is bad enough on Friday let alone at the ground on the day.

CTown out of 19/2 and Magic take their place?

That sucks. Saw that parra only had 12 turn up at sydney uni and have to forfeit. Think thats 8 in the first 6 rounds. Pretty poor.

I don't see logic about about licking one team out and dropping the other side a grade. They have both forfeited twice. At least Campbelltown generally recruit from the own junior base. Clubs that have insufficient numbers to field a team weekly should release them to another club with 19's with their best wishes and encourage them to return when can sustain a team. Almost every club has had it's bad years with massive floggings. Some may say it's character building. It's up to the clubs to improve, not the AFL to mollycoddle them by giving concessions

Fair point. Magics team last year if i remember correctly came from Penrith didnt it and i think as you pointed out earlierdidnt they nominate for a 1s and 2s in 2017?

Largely yes and I believe yes.

It's hard to have any sympathy for them.

Not quite correct.

There were 9 players who played at the Penrith Rams the previous year and out of those there were 7 who had played junior footy together in the Blue Mountains and some since Auskick. Of those 7 there were 4 who were going to just walk away from AFL as they didn't enjoy their introduction to senior footy, well those 4 found a new club (and a new found enthusiasm for their footy). The other 3 from the mountains decided they wanted to play with their mates and moved on. Then the last 2 joined (totallying 9) and they were ex St Clair Crows juniors, traditionally St Clair junior boys would go to EC.

After that and with social networking, players were asking these 9 where they were playing and it went from there.

Not sure why Penrith have options on the Blue Mountains boys? In the old "feeder club" days, the Mountains boys were directed to Penrith or Campbelltown.

[saviour01]

Any forfeits this week? Hard to imagine a week these days without a team forfeiting.

[Norris Lurker]

It's only Tuesday. If anyone's forfeiting already it's all over for them......

The real truth is that the coach advised the players that Penrith were not intending to field a 19's team in 2016 which was just an outright lie, and engineered in October the previous year. Appears that many of these kids have lost their "enthusiasm" for the game after a year.

Penrith are now the only "stand-alone" 19's club in Western Sydney if rumours are correct. I notice that the Blacktown Magic v Penno D1 19's match this weekend has now been adjusted into a "bye" for Penno

Same bloke that applied for the Senior role at Bensons with the promise that he'd drag his whole 19s list up Castlereagh Rd. He was told not to bother....we hate Penrith but not that much!

I actually watched this one. Nothing too note worthy? Couple of late and high hits on our guys, one of their supporters absolutely gave it to the umps as they came off but he looked a few sandwiches short of a picnic so the umpires just laughed.

Wonder what you heard?

Blacktown definitely pulled out of u19s. Sydney afl sent an email out last week.

[saviour01]

So they say no to letting blacktown drop but they let them merge?

[water boy]

Two weeks ago?? Old news.... if any BORING.
Maybe worry about getting guys to field your teams instead of having 19s playing three games in the one day and then having to forfeit 19s.
Fix your own backyard before worrying about someone else.

My Teams???? I'm not involved with any senior club haven't been for a while. Obviously hit a nerve though so what I heard must have been on the money. To say it was disgraceful would be putting it mildly. If there's 19's playing 3 games in a day for a club and none include actually playing 19s because they have forfeited that sounds a bit strange also????????????

[saviour01]

Was at all of Rd6 v Blacktown game and the end of Rd7 v St George.

Nothing in either game from where i was sitting. Rd 6 was a good game of footy and Rd 7 didnt look anything like the week before. Only thing i heard was a St George supporter asking when Camden' first grade was coming out to play and then some healthy banter backwards and forwards. Saviour may know more on this?

[saviour01]

Yes, banter perfectly fine and in good spirits from my point of view.

My Teams???? I'm not involved with any senior club haven't been for a while. Obviously hit a nerve though so what I heard must have been on the money. To say it was disgraceful would be putting it mildly. If there's 19's playing 3 games in a day for a club and none include actually playing 19s because they have forfeited that sounds a bit strange also[emoji12][emoji12][emoji12]

Spill the beans then.Lets hear it....full of yourself.

Ok no problem as I said this is what I was told from someone not what I saw. Apparently as the players from the visiting side were re-entering the field for the second half some had Alcohol or other fluids poured onto them from the Balcony above and apparently another had a spectator take a swing at him. As I said IF its true pretty ordinary.......

Mate I think you need a new source I'm sure the cats wouldn't waste there alcohol or any other fluid on that mob.I know for a fact the president of the club was the ground manager that day and he would never allow something like that to happen.

The cats have a history of alcohol related incidents. Don't try to say they don't. I wasn't there but I know where my money is.

Such as?

Only one i am aware of is when at Weldon last year their U19s were physically touched by Prems and reserves spectators from Manly in an all in melee during a game and i heard there was alcohol involved.

Unaware of anything else in their history unlike our Prems GF last year at Blacktown?

Water boy this isn't the INCIDENT where some over excited supporter (re yourself) accidentally knocked off my full and UNOPENED can of Jimmy that was resting on the railing and almost sconned the lady walking by below was it? Has this now turned into showering Magic players with alcohol from above? But who really cares? Never get the truth get in the way of a good story!

So your money is on a Chinese whisper from an anti cats person on a forum?

Won't be having a punt with you.

Can you name any of the incidents you speak of?

There was no suggestion that a can nearly hit a woman in the head. As you can see if you look at my post it was Players having Grog/Liquid poured on them when running out after halftime and one having a spectator take a swing at him. As I said a number of times I wasn't there and it was told to me from someone that was. I believe that it was reported to higher Authorities also so if that's the case I guess others are aware of it. If its not true obviously you have nothing to worry about.

I remember hearing an incident a few years ago where alcohol fuelled cats spectators incited a brawl on the sideline during a game.
Incredibly the opponents coach was cited.
I'm sure I've heard of at least one other time. Most incidents in general don't end up on the back pages so we don't hear about them. It doesn't mean they don't occur.

Referring to the Wests coach that pulled a spectator over the fence by his jumper and got 6 weeks suspension??

"Please share with those concerned that the Camden Footy Club is not perfect but we are continuing to focus on building a great culture which has seen our Club grow from 1 team to 5 in the last 4/5 years.

We do not have an issue at the Cats with alcohol nor did any such incident happen at Fairfax in Round 6. If such an incident had of taken place i am sure Lauren or Bob would have been in touch.

We will continue to grow the game of AFL in SWS and hopefully one day reach the pinnacle of Sydney footy.

I know that this is off-track, but is there any reason why Manly put up a 20 metre fence in front of the stand at Weldon?

That would be an improvement recommendation following the 19s incident from last year which i am pretty sure Petterson, Robo and 1 or 2 others got suspended sentences for running onto the ground from the stands and getting involved in an on field scuffle.

I think there may have been some other recommendations too but not sure what they were.

That's the one. It's easy to make an example of an accredited person "who should know better". But that aside, my example is confirmed. I'm sure there's others.

[saviour01]

Haha i quite like the fence, bit sad they couldn't afford one for the whole ground though.

A forfeit already in div 5. Any others?
