This week's RWO Wrap of the weekend action (http://www.redandwhiteonline.com/forum/showthread.php/33155-Sydney-AFL-Round-12-2011)is now online - featuring match report and pics from Bruce Purser as East Coast were tested by St George, but prevailed to keep their winning streak intact.

Some terrific competitions in the making, with only a couple of games separating the top 3-4 in the first three divisions in particular, great stuff.

Interested in people's views on how things might pan out, you can virtually throw a blanket over the major contenders in these grades, so you would think that more than ever it will come down to injuries and who does best on the day.

[Boss Hogg]

There is prob only 3 contenders in Prem Div. Whilst North beat SU, I still think the top three are the only ones capable.....at this stage!

[Norris Lurker]

At this stage, I'd tend to agree with that. If I was to make a bet now, I'd be backing East Coast.
But as we know all too well in Sydney footy, finals can be a whole new ball game; and we've had teams come from nowhere to win a flag before.
