think you will find that the league is already looking at that(div8)
that has been raised before but again was ruled out when strong clubs said no
if that is the case its time for the league to set the agenda and enforce what they think will be the best for the whole saafl not just some of the league
only thing with this is that some of the sides that have a's and b's would cop an absolute hiding each week. i.e flinders uni. plus im sure there would be some genuine floggings in the C,D grade comp as well due to clubs depths being of varying degrees of quality. i still think if a side wins a flag they should be made to go up rather than have the choice. unless it can be proven that they will be markedly weaker the next year.
agree with you but i believe the concept of the div 8 was for all the c and d grade teams to stay in the one division
their would be no promotion or relegation system
that then would mean teams like henley and uni shocs would leave the division they were in and go into 8
off top of my head not sure how many clubs would make up this division but i would have thought their would be enough
imo the clubs would endorse this concept which would help, not only financially but also with help ect for the clubs
