According to Echunga's Facebook, final decision will be given in February and there is an injunction in place until then.

If the HFLdirectors had done their job we would not be in this mess. Final decision 12.30pm Monday everybody can relax then.
Any other club would have done excatly the same thing.

Will Echunga Appeal in the event of an adverse decision?

Will the HFL?

Supreme Court rules in Echunga's favour.

An unbiased decision made at the highest level taking into account all aspects surrounding relegation and the process.

Great win for Hills Football overall and common sense prevailing.

What has been the monetary cost to the hfl and hence the clubs and to echunga. Can't have come cheap. I suppose gate takings will have to go up to compensate this. If so thanks a lot all involved for making it more expensive to attend our local games. How is this a great win for hills football.

News flash, redwood has been eating sour grapes!

Correct decision. The rules need to be changed otherwise this will happen again next year.
Does this mean that Bridgy go down?

Being an unbiased decision taking into account all arguments says it all.
Surely the onus now goes back onto the governing body with required changes being actioned.
Echunga were backed into a corner and had no other course of action than the one taken.
By the ruling being made at the highest level this shows that the rules set in place were flawed and not governed correctly on behalf of the clubs.
We can now move on to 2015 with what is hopefully a new lease of life for Hills footy and the correct changes derived for the competition.

Petty much 2 options:

1) 11 team competition
2) relegate Bridgewater

Assume the clubs will vote on which option they prefer. Surely they would select the first option?

So you are saying it was unfair on Echunga but would be fair on Bridgewater to go down?? You are kidding. The only option is an 11 team comp.

At least this will force the HFL directors to stop handing out extra points and junior permits at their leisure. Hopefully the by-laws don't change substantially.

Simply it seems here is the Rules were "Open to interpretation" and the Judge has ruled in favour of Echunga's interpretation of that by law.
I would assume this would lead to a review of the consitution to make sure going forward no laws or rules set down are open to interpretation and clear.

It will be interesting now to see what happens from here, 11 team comp would give each club a rest but may make for a longer season, or not all clubs playing each other twice throughout the year.

Or if they do not vote for the longer season then it would have to be that Bridgewater are relegated to Country Division.

An 11 team comp should have been pushed and instituted immediately Echunga won the GF.
This would have saved everyone the expense and provided an amicable outcome.
Unfortunately this wasn't the preferred option by the HFL and clubs involved which led to today's outcome.
I hope that this is a message to the HFL that an even playing field is needed for all participating clubs with respect to apps points allocation and remuneration capacity with allocation of hosting finals.
After the turmoil that has occurred I personally would like to see Bridgey retain it's spot in Central and the comp then built to 12 teams in 2016 with Nairne coming up.
This will also bring more juniors into Central and a revamped facility that Nairne is undertaking.
