    All in all - good luck to them. If that's their approach, let's see what happens down the track. Just would be nice if they stayed in their own backyard and I feel a little for Camden, because if we are up against it a little bit, I can only imagine what they're copping.
    If all is true, good on them.
    Premier Division needs another team, and it would be great to have a real Western Sydney team in it. Lots of positives for SWS
    * Close enough to the City to get some players relocating and then travel to them (unfortunately not possible for Camden)
    * Close enough to Camden (and other areas) to be a destination club for players wanting to play in a higher division
    * Army connection means always some handy players moving into the area
    * Money allows them to compete with other clubs you benefit from Uni connection, strong junior pathways or a CBD location.

    All I can say is best of luck SWS!!!!

    All these division changes going to make playing finals easy for some near impossible for others

    Surely not? They wouldn't be venturing out of their own backyard😉

    Pretty impressive effort to see UNSW and North Adelaide putting a trial together - not sure a step up to this calibre has been done for a while, not since the ill-fated but very watchable Foxtel Cup!

    Parra looks like they are having a real crack at Platinum this year.
    How good if they could continue this and end up being a Premier Div club. What a great situation if SWS and Parra were in Prems one day.

    Yes Tom, it would be fantastic...strong presence in the outer 'burbs would have to be good for footy.
    The Goannas used to be a powerhouse in Sydney football but they somehow lost their way at about the time that 'Big Brother' from down south rolled into town and took control of the levers.
    That's all sad history now but there are many of us who would be rapt to see The Goannas back where they belong.

    They’re active with their social media in promoting their signings. Time will tell if that translates to onfield success.

    Rumours are that Southern Power are in decent strife. Significant number of players leaving, particularly the women’s squad. None of the men’s team have coaches sorted either.

    Just checked their socials, looks well run and informative over the off season. Wasn't aware of the merger for WPD, interested to see how they go after some dominance in WD1 over last few years.
