Totally concur re a total restructure of our competition.
It seems more obvious that a 2 division 8 + 8 main comp would be a good solution with the remainder making up a C grade across all divisions.
That enables Sedan and Milang a decent go and caters to the other first tier clubs to have a 3rd senior side.
Keep a strict points allocation working from sides allocated in pairs - top to bottom e.g. 12,13,14,15 - with bottom 2 sides getting 15 points.
Settle the league for 3 years with no relegation / promotion and reassess after 2 years.
2 relatively even competitions will see footballers enjoying the game and clubs can plan moving forward.
How the 2 main comps are structured is anyone's guess but a geographical slant should be considered to keep families attending with ease of going to the local footy.
Travelling from Kersbrook to Blackwood or Kangarilla just wont work. (and it certainly aint local)
My initial thoughts are North and South.
