they would have to start at the bottom. Surely they cant just hop into div 2 or 1

if they had to start at the bottom i cant imagine that they would swap to the SAAFL. unless they get a gig in div 1 or 2 there is no point in changing leagues

I'm told by a reputable (and well tanned) source that Brighton have been offered entry into Div 3...

that's a good offer...

Well which Div 3 team gets knocked down a division to make way for them? Think there would be a huge fallout with the league if it happened.

If Brighton did start at div3 I would think that only 1 team would be relegated from div 2, it wouldn't be fair to relegate 3 teams to make way for Brighton

Wouldnt that leave d2 top heavy then, if flinders pk and portland come up, and only PNU went down, wouldnt that make 11 sides?

[hollywood7477]

Yes ur correct divvy 2 would be top heavy. I remember years ago if u left the saafl and then wanted back in you would have to start in div 6 as it would be unfair to the clubs in the higher grades. I know edwardstown were told that and Mitchell park went into div 6 when they re-entered the saafl

[GO THE PUNT]

If brighton went back to div 6 they wouldnt keep their players. The only way brighton would go back to amatuer league is if they went straight into div 1. Thats where they come from and its a lot better squad now. Me thinks someone having a lend of you all they would be crazy to go anywhere. Maybe dth could set the record straight.

Believe it has been spoken about but will 100% not happen in 2012.

The year they left the SAAFL they would have been in A3 so if they got an offered to come back in as A3 they would be pretty lucky. Generally the offers are A6 or lower. Saying all that I can't see why they would change, the reasons they left wouldn't have changed that much.

Chuck their b grade in for a few years and move up thru the grades

[Look Good In Leather]

Chuck their b grade in for a few years and move up thru the grades

...and where would their A-Grade play? Clubs cannot affiliate with two different leagues.

Edwardstown are different I believe, their juniors are the "Edwardstown Junior Football Club" and it seems the "Edwardstown Football Club" have no control over them, hence why EJFC is affilliated with one league and EFC with another.

I know the reasons they left and your right barbs

Seems is a rather spurious remark.

Furthermore, I can't see why Edwardstown would affiliate their juniors SFL? Their demographic (like MVP, Brighton and Marion) is better suited to Sundays. I am also coming round on MSJFL approach to age based grading as opposed to the traditional model adopted by SFL.

Why did they leave

Panther not sure you can say that moller would have done as good a job as sam . Brighton have had some big name coaches the past few years Marshall , Francis, and Sneezer to name a few. If it is so easy to coach a flag there why not one of them? Could have Moller brought the quality of Bueglarr, Baker, Rigney 97 goals and Sharpe BOG GF. Surely moller has an easier job improving cove from ninth with an easy draw and a good group. Good to see u admire blokes for going to mid teams and working there way up is that why you went to jervois after they had won four flags then to reynella who were up the top of the ladder. maybe you should have stayed at encounter and worked your way up there then others could admire you. Now you have retired maybe you should put in for reynella coaching job and build them up. on that i have heard milo signed at Ardrossen for not much . Bradshaw and Farrier to Keith 1200 a game . Ware in Darwin prob not returning . Bayliss middleton Smith retired . Fair outs . Can they rebuild as quick as emus have. think they will hope Broadbent returns, and maybe Bayliss can work his way out of the twos.

100% confirmed, BTP no rumours this time around either (like most years).

I said that I was taking anything away from Sam had achieved, any coach that wins a premiership has obviously done a great job. Both Brighton and Reynella unfortunately came up against one of the best sides in SFL history in Morphett Vale during the past 10 years. Moller may not have been able to bring those exact players, but I know Baker was already looking at going there and I also know Moller could have brought some talented players there as well. Again Barry it's all crystal ball BS, my point was Mick would be a very good coach.
And the reason was I went to Jervois was because Sam was a mate of mine as well as the assistant Wayne Deacon who I went to school with and I also already had mates playing there. In fact Sam coached that year and we had a very good side who on paper should have won a GF that year, does that mean Sam is not a good coach? Course not.
And the reason I chose Reynella was I had to play closer to home due to myself coaching and I looked at most of the clubs in the SFL and Reynella hadn't won a GF in 32 years, lacked a ruckman and I thought I would try and help them break that drought. Next time i'll check with you to see who I play for...maybe i'll join Ardrossan with Milo and see if we can go from second to bottom to a premiership!

It seems a few blokes rank recruiting players extremely highly in someone's coaching ability... I thought that communication, planning, repore with players, creating an maintaining a positive & enthusiastic environment, and the ability to make decisions during a match as key elements to a 'successful' coach.
I know a club I follow has had this approach previously, and I think that recruitment phase got butchered.

Very well said, just one word I believe u missed...."structure" also goes along way to playing positive footy.

Quite an apt choice of words...
