What the league did to Mt Lofty was disgraceful when it meant that the divide was increased between Country and Central and that the possibility was presented of losing junior footballers.
it is my belief that the surrounding clubs of Mt lofty were licking their lips hoping to pick up disgruntled juniors not prepared to travel or play in Country div and set their voting to gain this opportunity. (shame on these clubs and shame on the league for allowing this)

And by the way: I have NO qualms with your points about the by-laws, more about assuming other clubs wouldn't do what they could to stay in Central.

That's almost double! You should have belted them if success was based on population?

Both Mt Barker & Hahndorf draw a lot of their juniors from Littlehampton which allow them virtually 2 teams in every age group. This still wont help the likes of Uraidla, Gum, Kersbrook, TV, Sedan etc in fielding all junior sides but I don't know what can. Don't say capping the bigger clubs numbers coz that's been done to death & wont work.
I have said before, I would hate to see the HFL with any more than 10 teams in any division. If there are only 16 teams throughout the league then personally would prefer 2 x 8 team divs.
Compulsory promotion/relegation cant happen until the by laws are changed that state "clubs in central div have to field A, B, S/C & J/C sides". U13's apparently are not compulsory in either div which I didn't know until Echunga pointed it out.

Compulsory A/B/Senior and Junior Colts.
Top country club goes up, bottom central goes down.
If top cant field all teams, the second side or minor premiers are offered the promotion, if they cant do it the bottom side stays put.
SIMPLE - EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASY
If the 'clubs' are the true owners of the league then the clubs can do anything they want - maybe two weeks after the GF the bottoms central plays top country to see who goes where....
Why can't the second club from barker be the current closest club to them? Why add yet another team when there are already facilityies etc around the corner.... Southern Demons.

Lobethal v Onkas, started tight, ended in one way traffic, we were still a bit sloppy but with Onkas only kicking 4 points in the second half and us about 9 goals it ended pretty quickly after half time really. Green was a star early but faded and was crunched every time he got near the ball by Snake Jenkin, Onkas will be querying their fitness tonight while we prepare for Torrens Valley.
