Obviously "residents" is wrong .
Has to be more like resident sporting participants of a certain age .
But it does underline the growth in junior football in the Eastern Suburbs like Maroubra ,East's juniors and Moore park where there was none when I lived there .

Maybe it is 1 in 10 residents who play Australian Rules football play AFL
A lot of Swans players live in the area

It never ceases to amaze me how rugby league continues to implode. Just as GWS is advancing & the AFL is pouring $$ into western Sydney we see publicity about 16 NRL clubs in debt & asking Gallop for a hand-out of millions.

Because it's been promoted to the NEAFL ?

In an area with 13 junior football clubs and about 4500 junior players I'm leaning toward them being almost non-entities by comparison.

If by promoted you mean the public service version, where you have someone completely useless but legally can't fire them, so you create a whole new division with no real responsibilities and promote them to it.

Plausible in the Howard era, but now, not so much.

GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY will try to capture the hearts and minds of the toughest sporting market in Australia without a long-term chief executive after the shock axing of Dale Holmes during a day of turmoil yesterday.

AFL NSW boss Dave Matthews will start today as the Giants' interim CEO charged with the job of lifting the fledgling club's off-field reputation, which nosedived after a day sure to please NRL heavyweights.

Holmes's departure was the lowest point of a disastrous 24 hours for the Giants, in which star recruit Tom Scully became embroiled in a salary cap controversy involving his father's employment at the club and a prized teenage player quit GWS to return home to Western Australia.

The Giants were portraying the parting of ways with Holmes last night as a ''very amicable separation'', but it is understood the board's relations with their inaugural chief had become strained in recent months.

There were no quotes attributed to Holmes in a club statement released last night.

Giants chairman Tony Shepherd said the announcement was not related to the Scully drama,

which, in an unprecedented move, prompted the club to reveal that the player's father's wages were included in the club's salary cap.

Phil Scully will earn an estimated $100,000 in his role as a Melbourne-based recruiter for the club.
