What's that go to do with this issue. It's the clubs that will decide where this goes, not the board.

What I am saying is these rules should be changed and put in place for this coming season . Mt loftys relegation is a result of last seasons rules not this coming seasons rules.
Fair enough. So Lofty should go to country div for 2014 & the issue of changing central div to an 11 or more team comp ...

Really... I'm ranting... If I am I'm clearly not alone.
Still I haven't heard a solution from you and you seem to be the resident HFL genius.
Which position do you currently fullfill and will i expect to see you at the meeting?
You are definitely not alone in ranting on here. There's too many ...

Legsman, I doubt you would still be sticking up for Lofty if you were at the AGM & saw how their delegates tried to sway others to vote against Echunga's appeal.

Comp is great but having seen Uri , Mt Barker and Lobey over the past 3 weeks Uriadla are 7 goals better than Lobey and 10 Goals better than Barker. The rest make up the numbers and are very even and results will be based on who gets injured etc etc. Most sides cant afford to have 4-5 players out ...

Making Central division a 12 team comp will kill country division & most country clubs. Do we really want to do that.

Sorry to say Legs Man our canteen has run out of food on more than one occasion this year.

I was surprised how good the oval was though.

Echung have now ( I believe ) beaten all bar Mount Barker and Uraidla this year.
If canteens running out of food is the only complaint about a clubs ...

Wow. If we thought the promotion/relegation debate last year was interesting, this will be even more hotly debated. Intetesting times ahead.

The HFL board only administer the league, the clubs actually govern it.

Again the HFL has no power to change the rules, its the clubs that do that.

We are not a laughing stock, if anyone or any club feels this then F*** off to another league. The constitution would be similar to other leagues, its ...

Agree with the above. Points limits the number of players a club can recruit and drives up the price as clubs enter the market to bid for the services of the 'higher calibre players'. Its essentially a supply and demand scenario that inturn flows into the lower calibre players. Previously, a club ...

One word sums up the HFL - JOKE!!!

I hoped that both the clubs and HFL would realise the best option - which was to count finals accumulated points.

Self centred decision by clubs voting against it and one which is insane.

They were all given the best option for the competition as a whole ...

Legs Man please stop preaching to all involved in Hills Football regarding debacles involving promotion and relegation - we are all sick of it. Your club has pi$$ed off most others with your actions!!

The clubs set the by-laws every year and then vote on any amendments/full scale changes as needed ...

Just out of curiosity, if it turns out the taxpayers helped fund Echungas A grade premiership, does that change any opinions about whether they should stay in central div, certainly changes mine.

Also any Echunga people who complain about Torrens Valley getting extra points this year, you have ...

hey cracka ---just how close do you think most teams were to the undefeated echunga a grade of 2013 ---could of lost the grand final and still ended up in the central div in 2014 as kersbrook were never going to apply for promotion -----the I extra point made no difference ---for a total of 12 ...

Either Rock & Has been or Running Defender & Legsman will have egg on their faces next year. Someone is very wrong here about the taxpayer issue & I will be watching with interest, until then can we move on from it.

Now the decision by the court has been made, regardless of which side we are on ...

R. White, you are fast becoming a bigger tool than Legs Man. The fact you keep having to justify yourself and your money driven A grade is a joke in itself. The entire HFL knows what Echunga are made of and what it stands for other than Echunga. If things were going so right for your lot you would ...

Completely agree with the funding issue if true, however I've only heard Chinese whispers so can't comment. Stillll wouldn't change my argument against the "buying the flag". Where do you stand on the players that were in the team but came from other local clubs for more opportunity? There were ...

I can't believe what I have been reading, are you telling me my taxes paid for Echunga's recruits, I work my backside off, pay tax and the EFC use it to recruit players!!! Is this true or a hoax.

Keep an eye on the paper Bushman, the alleged offender is due in court early next year.
Is there ...

Ironbank were relegated in 98 based on poor facilities and not filing all junior sides. Came back up in 02 after 4 straight GFs in country. Nairne came into HFL Div 1 in place of Ironbank in 98 from RMFL.
How long were Nairne in the RMFL?
They were still in Hills Div 2 when we left at end of ...
