HFL Division 2 (Country)

[BRaG]

what was the verdict with the gum guys at the tribunal this week?

all got a week I believe, Nairne are in the process of sending a gift hamper to Apples as I write

[old moz]

I am, and can I suggest that if the board were serious about it happening, they could put forward to clubs as a 'recommendation' that promotion/relegation becomes an agenda item at the AGM or club X should be promoted to the higher division or whatever in the same manner.
Continual "head in the sand" mentalities only hold the league back, maybe next year or the year after if Loby or Bridgy's hit the wall even more than they have this season, they might realise that it's time.
Blind Freddy can see it, why can't you?


Incidentally, constitutions can be amended/changed to suit the circumstances of the present era, doesn't take a lot to do it either. Just a little bit of foresight, that's all!

and can stop a lot of over hasty descisions [ as you might well know ]

If you did know about the issue like you think you did, than you would know that the HFL have asked the clubs for any submissions on a plan for promotion/relegation so that the board can then take these ideas and make some proposals to the clubs so they can make a decision on it later this year.
So perhaps you should get to know a leagues issues and the steps being taken to rectify them before you sprouting off like you know all the answers to the football worlds problems.

You appear to be quite defensive about this subject Gimp, anything Aceman said strike a "nerve"?

No, not at all. Just seems strange that someone who is involved mostly with the SAAFL thinks they know best how to run a country league.

It's amazing how all of a sudden we have a side who is getting flogged and gets some media coverage and all these outsiders think that the league is falling apart and needs an overhaul.

Sometimes you can learn from other leagues or associations that may have something better in place.
The writing has been on the wall for a long time, not a matter of where you are involved, more a matter of doing what's best for the league in general and IMO, your setup needs an overhaul. This year Callington, next year Loby or Bridgewater, there is a bit of a trend happening.
Don't need to be Einstein to see what's coming.

[magpie in the 80's]

Is it the league who needs the overhaul or in THIS CASE the clubs that have allowed themselves to get into the positions they are in. If the club delagates voted against any constitutional changes so be it. With what i have read over 3 years in the SAAFL threads that not many clubs from Div 1 to the lowest Divisions think that your association is run that well either ace.

[Cougar]

Brookers big winners over Echunga today

Nairne Bs upset TV

Not about to argue about that point either but I thought everything was open to improvement. Surely looking at the HFL structure and same applies to the SFL, clubs that cop floggings week after week should benefit from a comp in 2 divisions with a promotion/relegation system.They may well still not win unless they recruit properly or promote juniors,but to even the competition up a bit makes things more appealing, surely.

Is'nt this what the points system is/was supposed to do. I believe it's the clubs that need the overhaul. As you well know ACE the game has changed from when we played BUT have the clubs changed. The league will always be there BUT some clubs won't due to poor management and vision.

I'll finish by saying we do have a promotion/relegation system BUT it is not implemented compulsory as it is in the SAAFL.

Mate, that's a close one for up that way!

[Keepitreal]

Heard on the footy vine that quite a few birds may be flying from the wood next season and looking down the hill at amateur clubs, anyone else heard this also?

Round 2 of Finals.
Saturday 2nd Semi Final 29th Aug At Callington
A Grade - Torrens Valley Vs Kersbrook
B Grade - Kersbrook Vs Nairne

Sunday 1st Semi Final 30th Aug At Mt Pleasant
A Grade - Echunga Vs Nairne
B Grade - Torrens Valley Vs Echunga.

Any more Upsets Expected This week (all grades). Its funny that Nairne & Echunga find themselves back up at Mt Pleasant again same as last year, wonder if the result will be the same, I would think not expecting them to bounce back. Kersbrook looked impressive on Saturday, the TV Kersbrook game will be a very close game.

Ashby to Nairne?
