10 in D2.

6 in D1 is what I have now heard too, what a joke. D1-4 would of worked better

6 in 19s D2. Only 3 of them are Platinum clubs. Will be hard for them to grow if they aren’t bringing in younger players each year.

Even harder when PD clubs can field teams in both divisions but platinum clubs aren't allowed the same luxury

That's not good. If Platinum clubs have enough Under 19s players to field two teams, they should be allowed to.

So are you saying you have enough players to field 2 U19s teams?

But also keep in mind if it wasn’t for the PD clubs that field a team in D2 19s then it would be a 3 team competition.

That makes me laugh Andrew sorry. The AFL by allowing clubs to grow to 6-8 teams has done nothing but stunt the growth in football in Sydney. It has meant the strong get stronger and weak continue to struggle.

Garry Burkinshaw introduced a pathway that enabled PD to still attracted 2 kids from junior clubs from out of their pathway who we up to a higher level and at that stage the comp was growing. Since it was disbanded it has seen the state of the senior comp go backwards.

The junior comp in the west is on its knees and unless something meaningful is done to address it things wont improve.

But the clubs that have got 2 teams in U19s are not impacting footy in the west. It is not as if those kids playing in Easts, Syd Uni, &Norths second team are going to travel west to play.
Maybe AFL in the west does need help but directing your frustration at the make up of Div 2 19s comp is misdirected.

SPOTTED on the Ch7 News tonight...

Gillon and Phil Davis out among the Massey Ferguson's at Bensons Lane. Handing out flood relief funds for those connected with the NorWest Jets

But was that Pekay that we saw behind Gillon, putting up the rabbit's ears behind him ?
