AFL in Sydney

Post by Rabbit »

We keep hearing all this shit about how AFL is on the rise in Sydney. Thought I'd clear up a few things. That new MacArthur giants u18s team they were going on and on about has lost 15 games, won 0 and has a points percentage of (19.63% 321 scored 1635 against). They have also recently forfeited at least 1 game so that would have helped the percentage.

Last years (and 2011 too) premier division grand finalist balmain who use to have former AFL players on roster and rumoured to pay players 200k a year had 12 players walk off the ground halfway through the first quarter on the weekend. Only thing sydney AFL has said is they forfeited but they have gone from grand finalists to 10th in a season. Apparently players aren't being paid.

It's also been well document how bad auburn tigers is as a club and they are also 0 and 15 for the year. 3 forfeits as well.

Not all rosy in the Sydney.

That's funny this is what their website says

Balmain Dockers News
Fremantle's $114 million project receives Commonwealth Funding

Freo welcomes $10 million federal government commitment to new training facility project


The Fremantle Dockers today welcomed Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s announcement of a federal government funding commitment of $10 million for the City of Cockburn’s proposed regional aquatic and recreation centre at Cockburn Central West.

The federal Government’s multi-million dollar contribution to the $114 million state-of-the-art facility at Cockburn Central West follows an announcement in December 2012 that the Fremantle Dockers had reached a heads of agreement with the City of Cockburn to develop the club’s new elite training and administration facility at the 26,000sqm green field site.

Fremantle Dockers’ CEO Steve Rosich said today’s announcement of the federal government’s contribution to the project was a great endorsement of the world class facilities at Cockburn Central West that will place the club at the absolute forefront of integrated elite sporting and community facilities in Australia.

The $10 million funding commitment announced today was awarded after a two-stage application process to the Regional Development Australia Fund by the City of Cockburn in conjunction with the Fremantle Football Club.

“We understand it to be one of the larger single grants RADF has allocated to this type of project nationally, and follows the significant and detailed work that has gone into the project to date,” Rosich said.

“The joint project involving the City of Cockburn, the Fremantle Dockers and other potential stakeholders will, in time, garner a national reputation as a revolutionary model for integrated elite sporting and community facilities.

“We are extremely grateful for the federal government’s significant contribution to the project - which is in addition to the $65 million committed by the City of Cockburn and $10 million by the Fremantle Dockers - that will significantly enhance the recreational opportunities for residents in the Cockburn region and beyond.

“In particular, we acknowledge Prime Minister Gillard, Regional Development and Local Government Minister Anthony Albanese, Regional Services, Local Communities and Territories Minister Catherine King, the RADF panel members and WA federal members Melissa Parke (Fremantle), Gary Gray (Brand) and Stephen Smith (Perth) for their assistance with the RADF application process.”

Rosich also reaffirmed the club’s commitment announced by Fremantle president Steve Harris last year that while the club would be moving its core operations for administration and football to the Cockburn Central West site, it would not be leaving Fremantle.

“We are in the early stages of working with a consultant on a plan for the redevelopment of the club’s existing facility at Fremantle Oval, including an ongoing presence by the Freo Dockers at Fremantle Oval for sporting, community, retail and commercial purposes,” Rosich said.

The site at Cockburn Central West, bounded by North Lake Road, Midgegooroo Avenue, Beeliar Drive and Poletti Road, is highly accessible being 500m from the Cockburn Central train station and in close proximity to the Kwinana Freeway.

Recent developments in the area include substantial commercial and residential projects, including high density housing and a retail precinct, and the $38 million Cockburn Integrated Health and Community Facility.

The proposed new facilities at the Cockburn Central West site include the provision for larger elite football and administration facilities for the club of more than 6000sqm plus green space, with the club also having exclusive or priority access at designated times to facilities including but not limited to:

• AFL standard oval and access to a second oval

• 50 metre, 10 lane outdoor competition swimming pool

• 25 metre indoor swimming pool

• Hydrotherapy pool and aquatic recovery pools

• Regional multipurpose indoor sporting centre, including six highball courts

• Sports store, including a Fremantle Dockers’ retail outlet

• Supporter facilities, with the exact nature and size of these facilities to be determined in the next stage
of design

Additional community facilities in the current scope of the project, which will serve a catchment of more than 207,000 people in Perth’s rapidly growing southern corridor, include:

• Café

• Playground and picnic areas

• Health and wellness facilities, including wellness and fitness studio, gymnasium, activity
rooms, rehabilitation facilities and sports medicine facilities

• Meeting and conference rooms

• Administration offices for community organisations

• Elite training facilities for local and regionally-based elite athletes

• Local community meeting and flexible space

• Education facilities, including lecture theatres, classrooms and laboratory space

Sounds like a club kicking goals!

Your just as pathetic as RD Rabbit!

"Auburn Tigers joined the AFL NSW/ACT in 2010 and has made a strong impact to the competition.
Auburn embraced the influence of AFL Sydney to establish a team in the heart of Western Sydney, Auburn.
The home ground for Auburn Tigers is located at (Cnr Chisolm rd and Mona St) Mona Park, Auburn NSW.
The Auburn Tigers are a community based footy club. With great success in 2010 winning the Cup undefeated,
in 2011 Auburn embraced a 2nd Men's senior team"

It's a recently created team and a bit a product of it's own success being promoted to higher divisions.
Nice try Cos.

Yeah - sure Parra keep telling yourself these things - I suppose when the WSW play this season we will see the further decline of the once mighty Eels - soon to play second fiddle to the local A-League side! Swans are going from strength to strength and have great talent coming thru - been in finals 19 times in the last 20 years - and you can't handle it can you Parra because that side you and your neanderthal mates made fun off all those years ago are now NUMBER ONE IN SYDNEY! And your side is slipping away and it really hurts don't it Parra!
