I'm not claiming to be a football league committee know it all, but why would these clubs apparently want to swap leagues? Hills Central is the strongest league outside of SAAFL div 2 in SA. Hills league's issues are div 2.
If I got $10 a year for the amount of times I've heard Blackwood will be joining SFL on these forums I'd shout you all a beer.
Load of s*** IMHO.

You're right, these rumours do happen every year, but this year it's been coming from credible sources. There is obviously some serious issues with HFL management that have lead to a number of clubs looking to change leagues, but it could simply be those clubs putting pressure on the HFL to get what they want.
The SFL is apparently the lowest cost league in the state to enter teams, so maybe this is a factor? Anyway, all speculation until someone actually jumps. For all its faults, the SFL is a pretty well run competition and is also attracting good players and coaches. Big problem to solve is the uncompetitive teams such as Lonsdale, Hackham, Marion and Aldinga who are all the equivalent of a bye for the better clubs.

Only way the issue would properly be sorted is if you combined the SFL and SAAFL and have 4 8 division comps for north and 4 8 division leagues for south. Bottom 2 and top 2 rotating each year.

That may work from a senior point of view, but the juniors would be destroyed

Both SFL and Hills certainly should have 2 divisions IMO, with promotion and relegation,even if only the GF winner goes up but Hills North only have 4 teams as those mentioned won't leave the SAAFL, it would be a backward step for them with maybe Houghton the only chance to gain any benefit from the move.
