Sydney Football League
First Grade -- Season 1985
Season notes
The final ladder below is based on a reconciliation of the regular season results.
This reconciled ladder does not match the official ladder first published in the Record 8-9-1985, page 13 which is mathematically incorrect because the points score for and against do not balance.
The official ladder containing these discrepancies was subsequently reproduced in the early 1986 editions of the Record and fails to include the deferred Round 8 game between Holroyd-Parramatta and Bankstown Sports (for example: Record 13-4-1986).
Holroyd-Parramatta was promoted to the SFL this season after finishing top of the 1984 SDFA ladder (but losing both matches in the final series).
