No matter how blue chip you may consider your club to be.
I would realistically like to see the number of players who have left the C grade due to playing in Division 7 against A graders.
Versus
The amount of players from Henley who left that are
- A graders that have been lured elsewhere due to monetary purposes.
- Fringe A graders & B graders (from a previously strong B grade) whom have left the club for greater A grade opportunities elsewhere (partly due to the points system)
- C graders left whom as a result of the loss of strength from above, now aren't winning as much as they used to and have spat the chewy?
Sacred Heart may have experienced similar resulting in the fall off in numbers at C & D (not adding SHOC's name to Marbles completely obscene arguments, just comparing them as a C & D grade whose numbers have fallen off)
good to see a genuine understanding post elaborating on issues clubs with 4 sides face and whos cgraders are in div 7, thumbs up mkb
at the end of the day i am completely envious of the tee tree gully boys in div 8 and i only want the same for my team mates, because i love them and i want whats best for them
hopefully my club gets put into div 8 next year and my friends my team mates my brother can look back and say they were some beauti times in my life so glad our club took us to div 8
