For clarity, there was a generic Email that went to 4 clubs - who are all in the same boat, which read something to the effect of:

1. The XYZ Football Club will be required to provide a list of 50 players specifically detailing their most two (2) recent playing seasons by no later than February 15 2015
2. a pre-requisite is each player having played a minimum of four matches in season 2013 and or 2014 in an affiliated league of the Australian Football League.

So there’s no mention of 55 players and there’s certainly no mention of an age limit. If the Salisbury West FC is telling people the league has told them that anyone over 32 won’t be considered part of the 50, then they have manufactured that to get the sympathy vote...

That is all. There’s nothing onerous about this and more to the point, these conditions were generated by the clubs who fell victim to forfeits from opposition clubs in Division 3, 6 & 7 last year.

The League (and most people, you'd think) would have to be pretty accepting that C & or D grades forfeit at various time in the year but the clubs voted with their feet that the minimum must be 2 teams EVERY Saturday and if not you’re out.

Does that mean Wingfield Royals will be forced to field a B-Grade or else fold, not even a C-Grade division option?

I think single team clubs have a years grace to get 2 teams.

Sorry Bandar but it looks like you'll be haiving a bye as from accounts, they will struggle to get one team together, let alone 2...

If the bye does happen we will deal with it. Better a rest than a one sided contest with a chance for injuries. Might have to program a mid season camp. The interesting thing would be late in a season you'd be pretty unhappy if you finished 2nd and ended up playing a 3rd side coming off a bye.

Maybe the league should force Kilburn back up, clearances look like they have plenty of players coming back. Or brahma maybe take Salisbury West spot as thats where most the players have gone anyway

It's the right Minervini FC he's gone to Sydney, ran in to him at the pub during his farewell drinks as a stroke of luck. I think he was replaced by one of his assistants Simon Howard maybe. I ma sure WUB will confirm.
