APFL started the season with 8 teams.
Balaklava were rumored to be out but having a vote to get back in but are now officially out.
Reigning premiers HWE rumored to be out but nothing official.
Hamley Bridge rumored to be out
Bute from another league rumored to be in.
WTF is going on in this league? This cannot be ideal for fixturing.
Does the APFL even know how many sides are going to be playing in the league this year.
Leaving everything very late.

IMO one team can just about have all 4 shields engraved now.

With RSMU, several BLG teams and even a few APFL clubs in close vicinity all going ahead, it may only take a few to start leaving to seal their fate.
I do sincerely hope they don’t, and can get back to being competitive in all grades, but their struggle has been a long one so far and with the town not getting any bigger, there’s certainly some danger signs.
In regards to the potential 6-team season, it may pan out to be one of the most interesting yet.
Two Wells would have to be the team to beat, with Mallala not far behind with a couple handy pick ups based on the clearances page.
If Virginia’s ins are still around they could be a danger again after a couple of quiet years and United got better as the year went on last year so could challenge a couple of the top teams.
Bute are an interesting prospect having struggled for a while in the slightly stronger YPFL, but I think they’ll be somewhere in the 2-4 range on the ladder and a great addition to the league.
Angle Vale seemed to stagnate a little last year after several consecutive seasons of improvement, but with some decent ins, they could challenge any team on their day.

With the way things have changed in the past few days weeks anything is possible
Would be disappointing if the league has brought in a side which makes the comp have a bye in a season of limited games.
Furthur more if that side happened to win the flag...…….

This. Small clubs have to play or risk not being able to start back up again.
Is there anything to read into that the only 2 clubs who aren't playing are the only ones with playing coaches. Or is that complete coincidence??

Should have only been allowed to join the comp to make even numbers
To bring them in so each club needs 2 x byes in a shortened season is ridiculous
Blokes want to play as much footy as they can not play less and introduce a new side....makes no sense imo
