Hey Cracka - whose side are you on - I thought you were the voice of reason?
Surely, you of all people understand the importance and ramifications surrounding this situation.
We don't want a league that is viewed as psychotic.
I'm on Echungas side when it comes to who deserves to be in Central div. I just know that there are non forum users out there, some who actually had a say in deciding Echungas fate, that have said to me you've done more harm than good. HFL board members do read this forum as well.
It is truly unfortunate if the decisions made by others is influenced by my opinion and comments as I have tried to maintain an even minded - albeit passionate view on happenings surrounding the Echunga football club.
When commenting on HFL governance of the competition I have conveyed what I deem as an uneven playing field presented to Echunga due to actions undertaken by the league with respect to points allocation to TV.
The stripping of a much deserved final from Echunga given to Mt Barker with no apparent argument to back up this decision only compounded and reinforced the view I have.
I am fully aware that my opinion may not align with that held by other parties but this should not be an excuse to make what I view as bad decisions.
Surely the decision makers from all parties are grown ups that have a mind of their own and can formulate their own opinion and judgement?
My comments on occasion can certainly be viewed in a varied manner depending which side of the fence you sit and how you see the future of the competition.
I just ask that everyone involved takes a deep breath and thinks hard about what is occurring :
The side that has just won the top tier Central division premiership is being relegated back to the lower Country division .
Once again you keep beating the same drum. You are not judged by your A grade side, it is your performance as a CLUB that determines your fate. And your performance as a CLUB was the worst overall. I'll say it again, I like this rule because an overpaid A grade side (even a premiership one) can be relegated as a CLUB if the effort hasn't been put into developing those that currently play for the love of the game. The HFL has got this right, now go back to Country, develop your juniors and build the foundations that will make you a strong CLUB.
