(excluding Adelaide Uni & Modbury who have a minimum of 5 sides)
and thats all in the past 24 months
Smosh are quickly running back to div 8 asap with their tail between legs to save themselves
How many C or D grades not involved in D7 have been lost in the last 24 months?
Well seems like every other 4 team club whos never been near div 7 is flourishing as mentioned by earlier posters And salisbury shut their Ds down for other reasons not related to numbers as mentioned by salisbury poster himself
U chuck your 4 team club into div 7 then your club will have a participation rate virus on your hands and 25% of your club players are eventually gonna wanna say bye byes
Rocs you still keen for div 7?
The answer is several. Which goes to show that 'waxing and waning' of C/D teams happens regardless of what Division they're in.

I've got a cool idea, they should group all the clubs that can accommodate 4 teams and have something like a C & D Grade "superleague".
Logistics of a 14 team superleague while having a 6 team a Grade League seems a bit silly. Especially when lots of teams in the SuperLeague would be of the same standard as the A Grade League
# clubs with more than 4 teams fill the div 7 vacancies (Uni, Modbury, PAOC), for they are stronger and more immune to the div 7 AGrade vs CGrade virus
# Pag stated that ROCs havent nominated a 4th side

Not bad, but i would structure D7 slightly different. Same teams, but when you play Salisbury West, your B-grade have the bye, and when you play Wingfield, your A-Grade has the bye. Football on every weekend and you don't have to split teams up to cater for Salisbury West and Wingfield.
Though, I don't think an A-Grade team like Wingfield should be playing D7R.

Flinders Park nominating a D Grade.
Salisbury West to C1, Henley to Div 7, Flinders Park to Div 8 problem solved
Henley likely unable to field CGrade sides against agrade sides ever again, and likely now to be in C1 with only 1 side, there is still hope for a 4th side but numbers will have to improve rapidly

Salisbury West in C1 will kill them off
Flinders Park also likely refuse div 7 virus
but will update the blueprint
Can't see FP getting a D grade up. I could be wrong but can't honestly see them being able to get the numbers especially mid season when the higher grades start pillaging and leaving them with half a side.

Eh, I don't think it's much to do with being pea-hearted. Their C/D lads were an ageing group and it wouldn't surprise me if many had decided to retire after their D grade premiership last year.
