As there are no games this week, how about we pick the margin by how much Canberra will beat our blokes by.
i say 88.

I'll tip Canberra to win, but I think it will be closer than that. Rain and cold weather is forecast, which could be a leveller.
Canberra by 21.
act by 42
wet- 43
dry- 120+
Seeing as it doesn't count to the overall stats, I'll keep the faith.
Sydney in an upset by 22.

Swans Development match
Matt Carey (65), Sam Widmer (65), Aaron Crisfield (9), Damian Dell'Aquila (29) - Pennant Hills
Michael Sawyer (16), Chris Murphy (3), Dale Fitzgerald (3) - North Shore
Damian Bowles (29), Joel Curzon (179) - Balmain Dockers
Ben Haberley (74), Joel Robbie (54) - St George
Jeremy Kiel (136), Ed Kiel (74), Dane Rampe (0) - UNSW/ES
Tim Kear (0), James Ford (0) - East Coast Eagles
Sam Dowling (179), Mitch Hogan (83) - Wollongong
Shanan Kershaw (110), Corey Everson (170), Matt Edwins (83) - Campbelltown
Joe Cunnington (39), Tim Lambert (100), Ed Carroll (0) - Western Suburbs
Paul Franchi (0), Will Overs (0) - RAMS
Only Livy and maybe Hudson in the senior team and Fitzgerald and Murphy in the development team.
Considering the selectors would have watched a majority of games and players before picking their teams, does this suggest that only Michael Hosking is fair dinkum with his selections of best players?
Brackets is where I have them ranked.

Does anyone know what the Canberra lineup is like?
Tipping blindly i'll have faith in Sydney and get us home by a couple of goals.
Dont underestimate the continual improvement, development & strength of the Sydney Football League. About 10 years ago the SFL had not beaten the Riverina Football League for 14 years. It then happened due to a committed player & coaching group & since then, the SFL Representative performance has been dominant.Originally Posted by shearer
Now they are challenging the Canberra Football League which is well respected in Australia as a premier competition. Today the SFL earned respect. In the future I forecast the SFL will dominate.

Just a question Burley, did ACT field there strongest side?
Shearer,
Not really an approirate question as I could also pose did the SFL field their strongest side?
Games like this if treated with the appropraite respect have quality players right across the park & it then comes down to commitment, pride & coaching. (This is of course if the Leagues are comparitive in level such as the CFL & SFL)
They certainly did earn respect today. It would have been so easy for them to lie down and die when they were 5 goals down at the last change; but it was a great fightback. With a bit of luck - maybe if those posters from Wason and Lees had gone through or if Withers hadn't have had to go off in the last quarter - they may even have pinched it.
Shearer asked whether AFL Canberra fielded their strongest side. I don't know enough about their league to know - but Sydney had plenty of players out too, and still had a real crack today.
