Can you explain why/how?
Any examples of small clubs feeling bullied into it?
Anything even remotely substantial to back your claims?
No one is forcing you (or clubs) to play.. if you don't want to - don't. Simple.
Im not here to get in a sh!t fight with anyone, if you read my previous post you will see i have given a reason as to why (I THINK) small clubs feel backed in to a corner, if you don't agree that's fine, but im sure many involved at the small clubs i speak about feel the same way as i do.
It is all well and good for the SANFL clubs to adhere to all the tasks required just to run a training session as they have the support staff to make it happen.
