Clubs are run - massive difference. Generally a big step up.
Standard of players - Always thought 1 to 2 was the biggest jump, but not so big from 2 to 3. the best way I could probably put it is that I reckon the best 16 guys in most div 3 teams could all play div 2, but they don't have 21 who can play that level. Over a whole year, they'd win 3-5 games, depending on the day etc, but will be a straggler.
From the lower divisions, you don't need a massive influx to be able to compete IMO, but going from div 3 to div 2 you really want to add a good solid 3-4 players who can be regulars in your 18, even if they not your best 3-4 players.
Going from div 2 to 1, that's the biggest step and you need a good influx if aren't just making up the numbers.
Having said all that, love a2 . a3 . a4 footy because it's mostly full of blokes who are playing because they want to play with a group of guys they know, and everything else comes after that.
