2015: 7 Pure A-Grade Divisions
Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2014 1:45 pm
THE PROBLEM
"Numbers at clubs with C-Grade sides who have to play A-Grade sides are fading, 5 Div 1 & 2 clubs in the last 14 months have forfeited their D-Grade sides"
# Next season faces a dilemma with the likeliness of these Div 7 participants (Shocs, Smosh, Modbury, Flinders Parks and possibly henley) refusing to no longer playing agrade clubs and will be wanting to go to a div 8. having their cgraders play cgraders only means players will stick around and these clubs want to attract & keep players, not turn them off the game to never play again
# ALSO if kilburn fail to fill a side all teams will go up 1 spot, so this will leave another vacant spot in Div 7 (5 vacancies)
# ALSO it is also not known whether Angle Vale Flinders Uni, & mitchell park will be capapble of attracting enough players to fill a reserves side (could they only have one team once again)
THE RESULT
# Div 7 now faces 5 vacant spots having only 5 clubs (4 clubs if kilburn fold)
# See below...
A SOLUTION
The following is a solution, the problem above is coming and IT IS NOT fictional, but the solution below at this stage is fictional
# So now how to fix Div 7 and its 5 vacant BYEs???
# The league bites the bullet & moves these byes into Div 3, Div 4 & Div 5, Div 6, Div 7
# So each div will have 9 sides only & some clubs will have to face not going up a div this year, and quite possibly going down a div
# Div 7 will have A-Grade sides only (excluding Uni because they are a clubs with 7 sides)
so clubs going down a div will be cranky all preseason, sooking & crying about it, but come Round 1, no one will care, because a premiership is on the line
in the C-Grade super leagues, the participation rates will explode, as the league will consequently become bigger, having more players on its books
So this is very controversial & radical, rather than insulting the solution why not suggest how to improve the solution?
essentially the only consequence to most clubs is that theyll have to take a week off twice a year. also some clubs may go down a division. but maybe the following season, the league could declare that 3 sides will be promoted & relegated just to return a clubs true standing across the divisions for the following 2016 season.
also remember in 1978 or 79 the league randomly decided 4 clubs will be relegated instead of 2 (so its happened before)
