Have virginia paid its fine from last yr's semi final at lochiel yet? Or its affiliation fees? Seems to be a diffrent set of rules for those guys.

nice thoughts but bet u wouldnt be so nice about it if the kid was from virginia or Angle vale.

Hopefully Balaklava genuinely attempt to resolve some of the key issues that have led to some of its members and players wanting to throw the toys out of the cot and play somewhere else. It is likley that some of the issues that Balaklava have raised align with those of other clubs around the competition - fingers crossed they show some leadership and attempt to work with the board and clubs to resolve them. As it currently stands, from my perspective, they look like a bunch of sooks and are happy to throw away decades of history as one of the premier clubs in the Adelaide Plains because they are not getting their own way. It would be a shame for the long-time servants of their club, and of course the APFL. Time will tell!
Genuinely attempt?
As in genuinely attempt to prevent the disintegration of the fabric of our competition by voting against including a club with no country values, culture, connections or netball? That would drag others down financially by failing to fill netball teams and travel to away matches?

As in move a vote of no confidence in the president at the time with the intention of replacing him with someone who would fairly consider all the clubs, not just the southern ones in his pocket?

The multiple biting charges, the Hamley lad with the broken jaw, the threats of violence and abandoned senior colts game. There’s more and no one’s back yard is squeaky clean but a line needed to be drawn. And now it is.

Truth is, we didn’t sit back on our hands pretending everything was hunky dory. Each time we were just one club from making these changes. Who could forget the farcical Angle Vale vote when a club changed its mind overnight following the meeting?

We led the charge on these fronts. We stood up for what we believed in, voiced our opinion and each time, we lost. But we genuinely tried and to suggest otherwise is just downright narrow minded, ignorant crap.

The state lockdown meant the whole club couldn’t vote in time anyway, so the club had already opted to postpone the shift after 2021.

The investigation committee’s ruling came after that so it mattered little, everyone has been preparing for the APFL 2021 for a month now.

Apparently a meeting next Thursday (Feb 4th) at Mallala to enact and set the powers for the new club director based APFL board.
