The view is that this would mean that b graders are exposed to a more consistent pressure game than 1 reserves. This decision may not be made until early December.
I'm guessing that Uni's c grade would play in a c grade specific competition should that emerge especially given the inconsistent nature of the c grade and the inability of the club to really predict the quality of player that will come out to the club. Having said that though, we've gone up in the past when we've been able to but the quality of div 6 to div 7 is higher.


its controversial but also quite logical. Your Div 6 side is actually your clubs second franchise side. shouldn't your second best players be here?

the equation has been trialled by henley in the late 70s, and i think the C-Grade were fielded into the Div 1 reserves. these boys inevitably copped thrashings and the set up had to be restored to As,Bs,Cs,Ds due to a denting participation rates

BUT your projection states your cgrade would play in a lower division? what side would fill your Div 1 reserves then?


Sorry, didn't explain this too well...we're looking at all possibilities as to where the C grade could play with the division 1 reserve option being investigated; this is the one where the b grade plays in div 6. But I'm guessing that we're more likely to be playing from div 6 down.

i think your bgraders would do fine in div 6

but i think your cgraders would get smashed in div1R - unless your CGraders trained at the same intensity levels as your A's & B's - then it could quite possibly work

maybe separate your A's to their own training and have a 50 man reserves squad (Bs & Cs)

What would happen in finals? If an A grader got dropped he wouldn't be able to play div 6. (I'm pretty sure)

Presumably if they made the decision soon enough they would be able to work out a sensible solution with the League.

Everytime he kicked a goal, it was the loudest I've ever heard the crowd cheer at Houghton. That man is a cult hero.

I was joking about the sponsorship btw ;)

another off my tree question, but how would houghtons recruiting campaign go if their training sessions were held in metropolitan adelaide rather than asking new players to drive home down mount everest at 8pm at night

if a central accessible location was established for training would the club be more appealing to new players, removing the factor of travelling through mountain goat country landscapes just to get to the ground over & over every week?
