Wrong Thach - there are like 3 or 4 of them.. Win Thach played in the flag, Wealth is a B grader.

The whole conversation has been around not what PH have done, but rather their re-entry to the comp potentially being regraded far lower than they're capable. Again this is out of PH control, and no one has questioned that.

No blame or ill feelings whatsoever have gone towards PH from what i've read, but surely people can appreciate that opposition clubs in this division would have some apprehension about them being opponents in 2017.

I don't think it's particularly fair that people from clubs not in this division tell morell to suck it up - i'm sure if others were in the same position they'd express their concerns just the same, much like all the people who whinged about the inclusion of the SFL clubs in higher divisions impacted/hindering their own clubs ability/chances to progress up the ranks.

I know you will say its clear Para Hills are going to put together a side way beyond div 5, but its dangerous grading sides on what speculation of how strong a side may be.. Relegating a side because they may not be strong is a dangerous path to tread imo

It is tough and there is no clear answer. My suggestion of Mawson Lakes was based on the previous three years of really not much success. I'd at least offer them the opportunity at a minimum. And I really like The Lakers. Unlike other clubs they have seen losing seasons through and toughed it out. They've got some backbone that's for sure. Maybe the idea of providing some of those players that have battled with a winning season might be appealing?

Overall, as a league and dare I say it as a sport, we have to stop being such simplistic binary thinkers. The basis behind "morell's myths" was that there are so many things in local footy in SA that are "it has to be that way, we've always done it this way" and it's toxic IMO.

We're all so ingrained with historical culture. We're the monkeys in the room with the bananas at the top of the ladder.

This topic is the perfect example. We have to have 10 team comps. We have to put them in D7. We have to accept it. We have to not say anything. This is the way it has to be.

**** that.
