Echunga is already proving itself as a worthy addition to the Central comp.
Surely there needs to be a provision in place to enable sides coming up to have a minimum of 2 - 3 seasons prior to being up for relegation.
Without this it becomes a waste of time and effort when positioning a club and gaining junior and senior recruits.
No offence.....but are you serious? Are you really suggesting that Echunga should be immune from relegation?
Just to be clear, the HFL doesn't decide who gets relegated. This is based on a HFL by-law (as voted for by clubs). In fact, it was this by-law that saw Echunga promoted.
Echunga's relegation outcome is totally controlled by them and their on-field results across all grades.
Maybe I've misinterpreted your point (apologies if I have), but surely your not suggesting that sides that finish above Echunga in the Club Shield should be relegated instead as Echunga are owed something?

The Echunga side of things: this is the EXACT point I raised at the start of the season ie there was a chance they'd be competitive in one or two grades but be poor in others, therefore end up in or near the finals & get relegated. That's no good for a club trying to grow/improve.
Immunity: no-one's immune.
The Hahndorf situation: yeah it sucks that future senior players are strong there but A's & B's are a bit weak, but the rules are there ie it's based on Club Shield. That's just the way it is at the moment. I can't see an overall rule that could make everyone happy. If you weight junior wins more strongly then you could have a strong junior-based team in Central but they're getting pantsed in A's each week. This situation can also turn kids off footy.
If you step back & look at 'Club Shield;' in its essence, take out all the money, histories etc, it ticks more boxes than other solutions I've heard.
2 cents...in.

In saying this the system needs an overhaul as it is not consistent between the grades.
Maybe a survey could be run by the HFL asking all clubs what they are after from the HFL.
eg. Central Division, to remain in country division, to go back to just senior and junior colts ( no under 13's) .
This may give a better understanding of how many clubs want to go up to central , how smaller clubs forsee their future etc. Then the HFL can devise a plan for the future and accomadate their clubs.
They are in the process of doing that.

The current HFL hierarchy has proven they are inept and should not be able to direct the decision making process.
Backdoor deals, self interest and the capacity to sway clubs voting on crucial league decisions is no longer acceptable.
The time has come for Central clubs to fund this appointment and stand on their own thus relieving ourselves of the unprofessional nature currently in place.
It is now a semi professional league and should be treated as such.

Will the results be made public regardless of the feedback?
Do you trust the HFL?
