Emery to Easts... Vlatko to Norths... why the exodus of club stalwarts (legends even!) from ECE? Surely it can't be for $? Intriguing...

UTS playing practice matches against a platinum club in Randwick, sure hope they got a win...
Good to see SydneyAFL has communicated the Prems/Womens/19s fixture already. A lot earlier than other years.
We have Mens & Womens Div 4 this year. Some decent growth in team numbers; but I'm surprised how many of the divisions have an odd number of teams. Surely they should be trying to minimise that so there isn't a bye every week.
In the structure chart I've seen, Mens Div 1 to Div 4 all have 7 teams. Campbelltown, Newtown, North Shore & Western Magic have added an extra team compared to last year. Magic's seniors have dropped down from Platinum to Div 1.
Womens Div 1 has 12 teams, Div 2 has 10, Div 3 has 7 and Div 4 has 8. Manly, South-West Sydney, Sydney Uni, UTS, Western Magic and East Coast have added an extra team compared to last year.
North Shore will have one team in each of Divs 1-4 in both mens and womens, so no second team in any division this year.
How close am I?
Div 1 - Magic, North shore, Penno, Syd Uni, UNSW, Nor West, UTS
Div 2 - St George, North shore, syd uni, penno, Wollondilly, ECE, Camden
Div 3 - UTS, Manly, North shore, newtown, inner west, UNSW, magic
Div 4 - Power, Syd Uni, Campbelltown, newtown, north shore, magic, penno
Very close. You've got Div 1 & Div 4 exactly right.
In Div 2 & Div 3, swap Newtown & UTS for East Coast & Camden.
Interesting UTS wanted to say in div 2 with their 1-7 season but ECE and Camden who have a 3-5 and 2-6 seasons drop.
Newtown flogged div 3 so I guess they needed to go up too, especially with a div 4 side now.
I doubt anyone got any trial games in last week, and probably won't this week - so everyone will be a bit underdone once round 1 comes along.
But it's a step in the right direction that we're not playing because of closed grounds rather than a global pandemic.
Any word on when the remaining draws will be released?
Sounds like D4 has been scrapped and D3 will feature 13 teams...
