HFL Division 2 (Country)

[cracka]

I heard this from a reliable source too and I'm an outsider looking in on this league so some factual posting for a change. Refreshing

Most reliable sources turn out to be unreliable on here. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story is the only thing we can rely on, on this forum.

Echunga is still opting to be promoted, that hasn't change. Mt Lofty are on the phone demanding what way clubs will vote. They will push for an 11 team comp citing Country Div is dead and that some clubs within Country should have already folded or merged. They think that it is their right to stay in Central because they are a founding Central Div club. They also will threaten to join the Amateur League if they don't get their way. Boo Hoo.

The above was posted on the Central Div forum. What do the Country Div clubs think of this?
Fold or merge? Bit a arrogant coming from Lofty.

Lofty are to scared to come down cause they know they will probably get beaten by nairne, kersbrook and Echunga.

don't think they'd be too worried about being beaten by Echunga

I have heard that Echunga will vote for whether they go up or not this Friday but they have been pushing quite hard to try and fulfil their junior requirements in order to make the move.

BEWARE... Mt Lofty are ringing clubs stating they are in minority if they vote against their wishes to remain in Central Div next Monday night. However they seem to be panicking as it seems to be the opposite and most clubs will vote they be relegated as the rule states. They will threaten to leave to play in the SAAFL however the SAAFL won't have them as they are not considered a metro club and applications needed to be in by Oct 31st.
Here's a thought Mt Lofty people, just play by the rules and don't try to change them to suit yourselves. If you are such a great club you will be back in Central Div in 2015

Spot on 'rock'. Our President got a call today. Sounds like they'll try anything to avoid going to Country Div. What makes them so much better or different than Birdwood or Ironbank of the past to be excluded from relegation. And I'm sick of hearing they are a 'founding club of Central Div'. Does that mean there are different rules for founding clubs from every other club. Give me a break.
And to all those Country Div clubs make sure you get to the meeting Monday night to vote this nonsense down. It'll be your votes that'll decide the destiny of your competition and your great clubs. Don't be pushed around by any bully's of the HFL. Stand up and be counted.

I believe the vote was passed for going up.

I just heard the Special General Meeting has been deferred for another week after Mt Lofty kept changing their requested amendments from that originally written in their formal letter. These jokers can't manage a letter how do they even run a club. Might explain where their at right now.
I guess you can always refer to your 3 premierships which sent you into massive debt and almost collapse. Well done.

Who are the recruits that Meadows are targeting?

Might have to recruit a number of new players if the rumours are true of the club looking to move to Central Div in 2015 (along with a flock of Rams).

Definitely was, so Echunga to play in the Central Division next season!

Goodluck to Echunga in Central Div next season and a nice warm welcome to mt Lofty down into country Div

[Dutchy]

Wade Hancock back out at Glenelg doing preseason

[supercoach]

See Brad Yoemans to meadows as an assistant coach ? good luck to him, will do well in country division. Believe ironbank refused to pay, good on them for sticking to their principles regarding over paying players. Talking to a few lofty boys today and they said many leaving including the guns. Watch this space.

Simon Muster heading out to play with the crows reserves team big loss for Birdwood considering they lacked a bit of height last year.

100% correct, I've just received an email from Mt Lofty advising the same

[Afterthesiren]

Sounds like that under the table deal Mt Lofty had with the HFL has come through. Dodgey as that mob.
Clubs have been promoted on a lot less in the past. One would say 'corruption' in a word. Very unlucky Echunga.
