and would play in a lower standard of footy.
If they are good enough they would fly up the divisions and end up playing in a better standard of footy each season. SAAFL has a rule about existing clubs wanting to join/rejoin the league and they have to start in Div 6. Apparently this is part of what stopped Brighton coming back as they wanted to be in Div 3 or 2.
From an outsider looking in, its a bit of a stupid threat saying they will move to another league if they don't get their way. If they do move, it seems it would damage the club with the loss of players, especially juniors. If they stay, everyone will know their threats are empty and full of hot air. This is all based on the assumption that Mt Lofty have made this threat to the Hills HQ
