Over the last lustrum we seem to have an annual argument regarding clubs exercising their right under rule 37.5 and refuse their right of promotion after making a Grand Final. We have seen the flow on effects from club's doing this causing chaos on the rest of the League.

My question is, with Salisbury's decision (which I agree with Shrek, it's piss weak) should the Clubs consider amending Rule 37.5 to the effect that A Grade Grand Finalists cannot refuse promotion (I can understand that there may be some cause for leeway where a C Grade wins A7)

I personally can't see what negative effect an amendment of this type would have.

Thoughts?

Should never ever be an option.

I guess the rule is there if a grand finalist experiences a significant player retention issue following the season and the club feels it may not be competitive in their current division, let alone the division above.

Which salisbury clearly are not losing 15 a graders ! B grade went undefeated lol absolute joke really!

whats the point of having a promotion or relegation system if clubs are not going to adhere to it?

If I was a Salisbury board member I would be very nervous at walking into a hostile AGM the next time it's held....

After winning an undefeated premiership?

Perhaps if they do not go undefeated...
