What is more than likely is the HFL will get swallowed up just like what is going to happen in the South East this coming year. Create a super league of GSFL, SFL & HFL over 3 divisions... or maybe just SFL & HFL to start (with a couple of ex SFL who are now in SAAFL chucked in there).... and have a true promotion/relegation set up every year like the SAAFL.

Really interesting idea. One problem though is that if you increase the distance juniors have to travel, then that exacerbates the loss of juniors problem, which is the nub of the problem in HFL Div 2. Nairne had this problem when they migrated to Murray Bridge League a few years ago, and it took years to recover their juniors after returning to HFL. Be some seniors too, that wouldn't be a fan of some of the road trips.
I thought this straight away too. I understand it's only a concept but a Kersbrook v Port Noarlunga mini colts (for example) would be a bit of a challenge.
Just a thought, but how about fixturing that game (Kersbrook vs Port Noarlunga) at a neutral venue half way in between - say Echunga?
