Pats on the back all round
Great result for the league....well done
They've done a great job in recent years.....some may whinge about the game getting soft but imo the league has done by far whats best for the genuine guys who want to go out and 'play' football each week.
Not just the league as it is, but the Clubs and players. Ultimately clubs and players seem to be largely embracing this mindset rather than having it imposed on them against their will. For everyone's benefit
There is a pretty big deterrent for clubs - Having your affiliation stripped is pretty confronting. If you’re a dickhead whose intentions are to go out and hurt people you don’t belong on a footy field. There is a small minority that complain the game has gone soft, however the game at Amateur level in particular hasn’t ever been in better shape and the standards are as good collectively as they have ever been over the last 3-4 years in particular. If you put a side up in any division against any side from even 10-12 years ago head to head todays clubs would win comfortably and it’s far safer.
