i somehow believe that all clubs shouldnt have to vote on this. theres a loop hole somewhere here...
i mean all the following 18 clubs provide 4 sides each to the league, they also have under 18s, theyre also known junior developers, which holds them in good stead knowing theyll have plenty more players coming up through the ranks for decades to come. these 18 clubs are the foundation clubs of the league
it is known they are doing a great job their As & Bs are complying with the leagues affiliation requirements, they honour the tasks week in week out.
now these well serving 18 clubs also provide C & D grade sides. what a complimentary bonus for the league. the enormous influx of players these 18 clubs facilitate for the league is incredible. the C9AFL is in complete honour and worship for the exponential contribution of revenue these 18 clubs provide to the league
now these BLUE-CHIP clubs announce that their juniors, their under 18s, and their long serving former A & B Graders are on a path that is very unappealing and is damaging to their own player stocks. They state - our core group of footballers is shrinking because your path is taking them into an unequal playing field where our cgraders, our upcoming dgraders, our div 1 reserves, our newly promoted juniors are all being made to face small-time and sometimes feral agraders from lowly contributing football clubs at the bottom of your barrels.
we require a justified environment to house not only our massive assets but your massive assets, and to place them into an equal highly attractive playing field, to enable us to further flourish for your sake and ours, we can no longer be burdened by your battling associates at the bottom of div 7 who wish to use our boys as stepping stones to ensure their survival. We as independent clubs have our own problems that need your assistance and we can no longer drag along these dependent clubs because we as their stepping stones are suppressing our own massive ongoing contributions to the league.
please free our men from having to play these agraders who's contribution the league in comparison to ours is miniature, and enable us to restore our playing stocks the way you can only hope. just as those clubs in division 8 are doing so in their current state. We too seek the privilege of being immune of this corruption to our playing stocks.
I sincerely believe the C9AFL must & will oblige to the needs of its BLUE-CHIP clubs first
a c-grade super league has more long term benefits and revenue raising potential than hanging on to a few fledging clubs who already have one foot in the grave
will mitchell park, angle vale, & flinders uni be put ahead of the following clubs???
Adelaide Uni
Modbury
Golden Grove
PAC
TTG
Shocs
Henley
Smosh
Payneham
Old Ignations
Flinders Parks
Salisbury
Hope Valley
North Haven
Unley
ROCS
Goodwood
c-grade super league will be one the best things the league has done since hooking all the SAFA clubs back, because it will further empower the BLUE-CHIP clubs and consequently empowering the quality of football Div 1 & Div 2 will provide.
