Personally from a club perspective, in the best interest of the club, Ingle Farm need to go to div 7.
Struggled in div 6 for a number of years now, and granted last season we were competitive and our best matched the top sides, but fact remains we still finished in the bottom 2, and we have a lot of young kids coming through that still need some time to develop. Not only that but after a long period for the Farmers without success, the club really needs to get that winning feeling back and string together consistent performances and win games of footy - not saying div 7 would be a walk in the park, but a better opportunity to obtain those goals.

Well thats out of my control, and something the committee would have to look at very seriously and weigh up the benefits of staying up compared and the possible long term consequences if they were to have a below standard season.
Given a couple lives already to stay up, if they were given another the pressure and scrutiny to be successful would no doubt be magnified.
People at the club need to look at the situation from every possible perspective and be unbiased and unselfish in their thought process

At the end of the day all SAAFL clubs play to win and go up grades as high as you can. Why would you stay in div 7 when you can go to div 6 and be closer to the top divisions. Success is not guareenteed in div 7 and a club could get stuck there for more than 1 year if the thought process was to go down and have success and come straight back up..IF were 1 win from staying up and were on 8 points (more than a lot of clubs get relegated on). If the coaching group can bring the improvement promised we would be more than competitive next season.

Valid points, i'm in no way suggesting that going down to 7 would guarantee instant success, nor do I believe it would only be a one year trip.
I have no doubts the squad would be extremely competitive in 6 if they played there, as long as players stayed fit and injuries didn't take their toll. As I said, last year our best was as good as anyones, and we have added some much needed depth to the squad in the off season.
However if IF were to stay in 6 and have a disappointing season, what would the repercussions be for the future on the club?
