SAAFL Division 7 & D7R (2012)

[The Riddler]

If SHOC do stay down I think that means IF stay in Div 6 if that's what they want. Henley finished bottom of Div 6 this year so they will be in Div 7 too.

I think rule stats IF can't stay up again after finising two years in a row in the relegation zone and declining to go down last year.

I wasn't aware of that rule but can see reasons for and against it. To be honest SHOC should be made to go up IMO.

Here's what FC put on the Div 6 thread

37.5: Either of the Member Clubs playing off in the Grand Final may choose not to be promoted
in the following season provided that such an option has not been exercised by that
Member Club in the previous season and that a Member Club occupying either of the
lowest two positions on the premiership table at the end of the minor round of matches in
the Division above the Member Clubs to be promoted chooses to remain in the same
Division for the following season provided such Member Club has not exercised this option
in the previous season.

So if IF can't stay up, Henley will obviously go down and with SHOC staying put does Angle Vale then get asked if they want to join Div 6?

The way I read it, if Ingle Farm can't stay up, then SHOC can not stay down. There is nothing said about 3rd bottom team & etc.

I thought that you can win a flag & request to stay down, but if the same happens season after you must go up?? About time saafl showed some n uts.... make them go up

[zedman]

if shoc stay down, ingle farm have to go down, henley can be offered the chance to stay up and if declined one still has to come up which would be offered to the 3rd team angle vale, so it could be angle vale and mawson up, ingle farm and henley down..thats the way i read it..henley may decide to stay in div 6 if offered and then only mawson comes up

I don't think SHOC made GF in 2010. I think it was Adelaide Uni and Central United. Therefore this is the first year they would be exercising their right to stay put. Having said all that, I'm with you Red Strip - SAAFL needs to tell them what they should do - not ask them want they want to do.

Have a close look at the rule
It stipulates you can only stay down providing a relegated team wants to stay up and that either team hasn't done it the year before
Henley are the only ones who can stay up if they choose not to then under the rule SHOC will go up

[Phantom Gossiper]

As far as my understanding of it is, Ingle Farm have no choice but to go down.
Last season they took their ONE opportunity to stay up, now this year they must go down.
If SHOC decides to stay down, then 3rd place would be given the chance to go up a division ALA Kilburn a few years ago when Edwardstown moved to SFL.
I also believe SHOC only get the opportunity or chance to stay down if the sides in the division above elect to stay up - Ingle Farm have already done this last season.

Quite confusing!

[Phantom Gossiper]

If SHOC do stay down I think that means IF stay in Div 6 if that's what they want. Henley finished bottom of Div 6 this year so they will be in Div 7 too.

Correct.

TOSSER and RSR, if SHOC and Henley were A grade sides I'd completely agree with you. It is a BIG jump from D7 to D6, which makes it very hard for C grade teams to be competitive (Uni have done pretty well this year, but they'd prob have as many players as Henley and SHOC combined!).

[old farmer]

Is it true that Ingle Farm looking for a b grade coach?? I hear the guy appointed for the b"s a month ago has already pulled the pin???
Any truth in this Half bank flanker

Cant see that being correct Red strip roo as the club has turned the corner and have 178 new players at the moment and can afford to lose any of the existing playing group as the recruits the have will cover anyone.

Things have changed big time at Ingle farm!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing like a smart ass to down a club thats been down long enough, not bad considering you can't even put a club that you're associated with DKL. Good to see things looking up a IF and the coach seems very enthusiastic, can't complain about that. Maybe time to tone it down a bit now and let actions speak for themselves, Nov 21 should be the start of a good year, but lets see how it pans out first before we hail the start of a new era. All IF supporters have heard it all before and now want action.....As for who goes up and stays down, well put C and D grades in thier own grade, problem solved. I'm sure if someone put in some effort they can make 6 or 7 grades of A & B grade work, i'll do it for them if it's too hard....

Exactly. Clubs should worry about their own A grade side before calling the SHOC "C" grade sandbaggers. Have a C & D grade comp....easy fixed and let the A grade sides play A grade sides.

Oh Phantom if only that was true, i guess we could put your club down but we wouldn't know which one you have jumped on board this season!
