Couple of points though.
- every clubs B grade side will be rubbing the hands together knowing they are guaranteed 2 wins a year next year.
- the very good/good junior sides will be pencilling in wins as well each week
- I'm sure Uriadla can't wait to smash the head in of Josh Newham.
- feel very sorry for Bridgewater, as having an 11 team comp will kill off country unfortunately.
Bring on the Echunga Football League seeing as they make the rules for 2015. Cheers!

Have to disagree with your thoughts on the most important sides. All junior sides are extremely important for a clubs foundation and future, wonder how your under 13 and 15 feel about your comments. Surely you can't have an A grade without a b grade to back them up. Legs Man and echunga continue to lose friends and gain enemies, 2015 is not going to be a pleasant season it will always have a taint on it.

Surely the onus now goes back onto the governing body with required changes being actioned.
Echunga were backed into a corner and had no other course of action than the one taken.
By the ruling being made at the highest level this shows that the rules set in place were flawed and not governed correctly on behalf of the clubs.
We can now move on to 2015 with what is hopefully a new lease of life for Hills footy and the correct changes derived for the competition.
Petty much 2 options:
1) 11 team competition
2) relegate Bridgewater
Assume the clubs will vote on which option they prefer. Surely they would select the first option?
So you are saying it was unfair on Echunga but would be fair on Bridgewater to go down?? You are kidding. The only option is an 11 team comp.
At least this will force the HFL directors to stop handing out extra points and junior permits at their leisure. Hopefully the by-laws don't change substantially.

To clarify my suggested changes to the weighting - as all junior sides are very important!
I am simply saying the U/18 and A grade should have the heaviest weighting e.g
A - 10
B - 3
U/ 18 - 5
U / 14 - 2

Save your breath Legs Man. Obviously the other central div club supporters are pissed that it will now be harder for them to win the 2015 premiership.

Today Echunga have won our battle to remain in Central Division in 2015. This is great news for our club and is the best Xmas present we could have wished for.
While we invite you to come and celebrate this with us all at the club tonight at 6pm (with free BBQ) we also ask that we accept this victory with some humility and show all connected with the HFL that Echunga are a class act and we will not be allowing the posting of any provocative comments.
Let's get keen for 2015!

Well done.

Just on our B Grade it will be a lot stronger next year, with 5 very good senior colts coming up as you would have seen in the GF TWO COLTS PLAYED but alot of people have failed to realise, plus the usual recruits we are likley to pick up. On recruits the amount of money that we spent this year was minimal not the rumored $100k plus. On other matters Josh newham will be very fresh come RD 3, it will also be great pleasure to unvail the premiership flag hopefully against the northern demons in RD 1. C ya at the footy chopper and co can't wait. MerryXmas to all and the HFL DIRECTORS

Also any Echunga people who complain about Torrens Valley getting extra points this year, you have short memories, Echunga were given extra points in 2013 which if not given you wouldn't have even been in central div.
