In all honesty this could make a whole lot of sense. Para Hills, the league and pretty much everyone but a teeny minority of scaredy cat D6 clubs would agree it's a potentially sensible solution.Zartan wrote:Greenacres struggling..

The problem is the rules and regs that HQ has to work within. They need a club to not be able to field two teams before they can wrangle with the ups and downs. Even then the first opportunity would have to go to Mitchell Park and then Adelaide Lutheran. I doubt we'd take it up but Luthies might.
Again, this really comes down to ridiculous nature the way our league has been set up. It's absurd that the organisation responsible for the overall health and strategic direction of the league as a whole cannot make executive decisions like this. I understand the clubs ought to have input, but they should be the major stakeholder for consultation, and that's it. Clubs are always going to vote and make decisions which directly benefit them, they're self serving and have to be. The league obviously has a much broader focus.
It's time we all looked at how we break apart the delegate system and give more executive control to the management team at the SAAFL.
