To a degree, yes, but promotion/relegation system doesn't allow for new clubs coming in, or clubs who spend up big win a flag/promotion and then drop multiple grades the following year or so.
Promotion/relegation doesn't account for OSB coming into the comp, it doesn't account for Para Hills returning 12 months after it was supposed to by in D4 following a D5 premiership and playing D7, it doesn't account for Salisbury West dropping after losing a D4 GF to D7.
To be fair I think the AdFL have got it pretty right with Brighton, Morphie Park's, OSBL, Edwardstown and Marion's entry, could argue they maybe came in one div to low but again they find their way to the right Div in 12 months anyway.
So you want all clubs to show their annual player spend budgets in Jan each year and make decisions based on player spend?
Got to love this division, two days ago we were discussing how much clubs like Houghton spend and today it is how the promotion and relegation system is stuffed, IMO there isn't much wrong with it, not like OSB and Marion have blown everyone out the water this season.
If you base it on recruits what happens when a group of them might decide to leave a week before round one and you have already been graded under your theory.
In a nutshell what exactly is the problem?
