Common fella's, BSA just got the Ladders up today. Give me some time. Have done average ladder position.
So have tried to add a little more this time, but still working on the top 2 or 3 teams in a grade and included u/10's. If more than half the clubs are in a grade it counts. And if you don't have a team you get ranked on the bottom. 14 Boys comps and 12 girls comps.
As per usual this is raw data and due to pro/rel, and double div 2 and especially clubs not entering teams it might be a little off center. SO make of it what you want!

From a glance
Sturt out in front more than I expected. Their boys are very strong as per usual, but their girls closer to Forestville than expected giving them top spot.
Forestville girls are the pick of the bunch even though Sturt are close. Div 1 boys are a srtong but surprisingly their lower division boys teams are letting them down.
Norwood are proving the doubters wrong and finished 3rd overall. Strong in all sectors without one dominant spot giving them 3rd club status as they are closer to the top 2 than the group below.
North are struggling in div 1 but their lower div boys group are keeping them in front of the rest.
South might be the big improve-rs, with their boys, and more particularly their div 1 boys leading the improvement. Their girls are very much stopping them from getting higher, but this is still better than previously.
Southern will be hoping for a similar improvement from their new coaching director. Sitting 6th is a good base to jump up the charts from. Their Div 1 girls doing well this year and expect more of the same. Need to increase numbers especially with girls and improve those pockets of lower division teams that struggle.
Centrals are riding some good results in specific age groups. To make more headway they will need to continue to grow in numbers of teams and be more consistent across the age groups.
West are certainly on the downwards spiral. Apart form their 18 div 1 teams, there doesn't seem to be much joy here. Not sure when the west girls would have out performed the boys either.
Eastern have good resutls in state girls except with their U10 group. And we all know that they get more and more country kids in over time. But their boys are in a bit of trouble. And I mean Woodville girls trouble. Lack of numbers of teams and no boys in finals in not a good sign.
Woodville are doing ok in div 1 boys in a very competitive comp. But everywhere else they are sitting on or near the bottom, especially with their girls. And if the rumours are true that they have lost a number of boys to North right where they were building, this doesn't look good for the future.
Thoughts people. And keep them clean!!!
