It is clear that majority of people are in favour of two divisions, so there is NOOOO need to continue to post on hear every week complaining after there are 10 goal plus margins in the results!
The biggest problem is what structure the 2 division will take.. can I suggest that you do not post on here unless discussing potential structures of 2 divisions... Lets get heaps of different structures out there so that any potential SFL sub-committee can look at the pros & cons of each.. this may actually get us somewhere rather than continually complaining: "hurry up SFL we need two divisions"
so heres a potential system for 2013
Div 1
Brighton
Morphett Vale
Noarlunga
Happy Valley
Flagstaff Hill
Reynella
Cove
Port Noarlunga
*All Div 1 clubs will have 5 saturday sides..*
All clubs play each other 3 times over 21 rounds
Top 4 play Finals
First week of Finals:
1 v 2 for GF spot
3 v 4 Elimination
Second week of Finals
Loser 1v2 Vs Winner 3v4 for GF Spot
Third week of Finals:Grand Final
so Div 1 will have 21 weeks of Minor Rnds + 3 weeks of Finals (this matches the old 20 weeks of Minor Rnd + 4 weeks of Finals)
Div 2
Hackham
Christies Beach
Edwardstown
Aldinga
OSB/Lonsdale
Morphettville Park
Marion
All clubs have A & B grade sides
clubs play each other 3 times over 18 rounds
top 4 finals system which is identical to div 1
so Div 2 will have 18 weeks of Minor Rnd + 3 weeks of Finals
Any Div 2 clubs U14s & U16s too play in Sunday Comps along with any Div 1 Clubs U14&U16 2nd sides
Potential Div 2 U18 Saturday Comp involving:
Edwardstown
Hackham
Aldinga
Christies Beach
(all above clubs have U18 side in 2012 comp)
plus the addition of potential U18 sides from Marion, OSB Lonsdale & Morphy Parks all who have U16s sides competing in 2012 so hopefully can retain players moving from U16s to U18s in 2013
I know its not perfect but its a start!
Maybe you need to read back a few pages then leftpeg because structures have been put forward....in fact your's is identical to mine so i think i like you.
