Now it's finals time and I hope we can keep a bit of chatter going for the next few weeks
Can't believe I joint won the comp. Congrats also to Chikka and all tipsters. Was a well fought out comp and a good lot of fun. To be honest not living in NSW I haven't followed the closely but have kept alert on how the Thunder have been tracking through NITV when possible.
My current tip is the Swans to take out the flag but well done to the Suns on making it into the finals. Has been a horror run with injuries for their AFL side which you'd think hasn't allowed a lot of continuity at team selection with fringe players dropping in and out.
Something that the Swans and Giants haven't encountered so much and have been able to have more settled sides I'd imagine.
i reckon uni will smash them today14 kids actually who played u18 footy this year (although a couple are overages). Bloody good for GC footy
probably true but it must be ok as a comp because the swans are continually playing finals at AFL level using many players who have developed in the NEAFL. Demons football manager Sean Young was in charge of the TASFL before joining Canberra. He says Neafl shits all over Tassie football. Dan Gilmore told me 2 weeks ago that recruiters were ringing him regularly now. given northern australias football geography, with few footballers living a long way apart its probably all we can do.....IMO its a unique comp and one i enjoy watching. ps ive seen a few VFL games recently and they are not all great spectacles either!IMO ,, The Neafl has become a competition with no soul whatsoever ... shame ,, its a comp that wants to be a tier one comp but is nowhere near it and it seperates itself from being a grassroots competition ... Answer to solve it ,,, well I dont have one ,,,
Get the feeling its just to give the AFL ressie sides a competition to compete in ... whilst the local clubs need to find huge amounts of dollars just to be in the comp...
Hmmm...Yes, I'm with you guys too - not much of a club-based competition but it exists for blokes to get recruited. And, yes, a pretty good standard - it's no big deal to be better than Tassie footy because they say Tassie footy has turned to crap anyway. I watch a bit of suburban footy when in Melbourne and I'd rank NEAFL as on a par with 'pretty good' Melbourne suburban footy - but way below the VFL that i see occasionally on TV.It may not be as good as the VFL/WAFL/SANFL Stuyd but like Ally said the proof is in the pudding re recruiters. It matters not whether it is a good club based comp - its existence is for blokes to get recruited. I agree too Ally - havent heard anyone say the standard is poor and if its not tier 1 it is probably 1.5!

Having said that, I also agree with Stuyd1 in that it's a money pit for NEAFL clubs - i sure wouldn't put my money in to support a club-NEAFL team, and the clubs would probably strangle if they didn't have commerce to prop them up.
But, I still say that it's good that TIER 1.5 footy is brought to us so close to home.
