And as to your point, it gets a bit silly considering Goodwood has won the lion's share for the last decade. If you think what made (and makes) Goodwood so successful is the amount and positioning of their lowest graded team you're absolutely incorrect
yes. however goodwood Cgrade is the reserves of their reserves (Bgrade reserves)
whereas clubs with 4 teams or 7 teams, the C-Grade is almost a second franchise, focused on conquering a division 7 in its own right, some may say Div 7 agrade
ie: Adelaide Uni's Div 7 squad is a second franchise, they are not reserves of their reserves, and IMO this is a massive difference of club structure compared to the clubs that ARE winning Div 1 premierships
