Balmain? Don't appear to have great numbers on the track from their Facebook page.
I can't throw rocks, blokes are allergic to training these days!

No, appears UNSW has dropped out of Platinum Reserves.
The 4th grade team that put 15 goals on my boys and won a flag? Geez that's a stretch. Good value that they'll still field a team in the divisions though. Can't have them losing games
Balmain will be ok. Heard they picked up a few decent players (Trent Stubbs, Josh Battistella, Josh Duncan) to name a few.
Unsure how depth of numbers will go but some good players for their Platinum team

Not sure how they've folded their 4th grade team when they also had a 5ths in division 3 last year
Reason is some clubs still can’t confirm whether they can field teams in respective grades. 3 teams have dropped out of different grades in the last 2 days meaning the draw needs to be re-cut. Draw can’t be finalised until clubs commit to teams.
More a club issue than an AFL issue.

Draw is out and we have byes in the higher divs
There really is no need for this
It's not ideal, but I don't see what they could have done to avoid byes in either Premier Division comp.
Byes in Prems is not good, but the other thing that’s worth noting is that in the lower divisions and U19’s, there’s no more than 8 teams in each competition.
Will lead to a shorter finals series with less teams participating - top 4 instead of top 5.
How much if this is down to the disruption last year brought with so many games called off with rain?
It’s a shame to see, what appears to be, a decent drop in the number of guys and girls participating.
Couple of interesting things I noticed -
ECE only have mens prems, ressies and u19s.
Magic down to 1 mens team.
Randwick div 1 and div 3 instead of platinum.
UNSW going div 1 over platinum reserves (I would have guess div 1 is harder than platinum reserves?)
Sydney Uni, North Shore and UNSW results in platinum will be interesting. I assume they play their third team here? How does it compare against platinum clubs first teams?
Yes they will play their thirds in platinums from earlier in this thread.
UNSW D1 not playing platinum reserves and thus forcing a bye is ridiculous for the evenness intended with the platinum/platinum reserves structure, but my guess is sydneyafl preferred to have 8 teams in division 1 than just 7.
ECE makes sense considering they were fielding their best team in D2 last year, I imagine those old prems players have no hung them up or at other clubs I believe?
Great promotion from the league for the season isn’t it. 😝
One week to go the have with what they take from clubs have promoted it well.
Good luck to all clubs, minus clubs the idiots running it woundnt get paid
It’s a disgrace an only comp in a major state has nothing yet clubs cop it, get charged for it and forums like this clubs turn on each other when the state body and afl offer nothing.
Go afl… but seriously all should think about the year on year crap on here band together and challenge it
Over and out
