Can get from CLG to Blackwood in 6-7 minutes

CLG should do everyone a favour and join the hills league.

I'd prefer Blackwood to do the HFL a favour & join the AdFL

It's about time the old SFL/HFL/GSFL super league gets rehashed again, isn't it?

Brand new facilities had heaps to do with the influx there for sure.

Yes new facilities help, but doess Broadview have a D Grade with new club rooms this year?

Bring back CDFA?

Country leagues are higher than metro leagues

You can pay one marquee player $1K per game in the country, but only $500 in the metro.

Unless you have Gaza's accountant

The Commitee must set a maximum Total Player Payments limit for all Leagues. Unless decided otherwise the
maximum Total Player Payment is $3,275.00 per Match from 2023 onwards with a limit of $650.00 for a Player
