i don't doubt what you are saying tank...but it does strike me as a little odd....
Mate it is more than just a little odd - it is a very unique situation that creates an awful lot of emotion
Serious Question - Is there any other league in Australia that has more than one division, in which the entire club consisting of junior and senior grades play on the same day in the same competition?
The only other I can think of was the SFL before they moved to one division back in the 90's?
You could argue the Riverland still have that type of set-up, but never transfer teams between divisions.
There are a number of leagues in Victoria that have 2 or more divisions, but junior football is primarily on Sundays with the exception of the odd senior colts team in some comps.
Fight to the death to retain it, however there is a serious flaw if Echunga get relegated. Promotion/Relegation needs to be more weighted towards to A-Grade, but having all teams must be a pre-requisite.
