How strong is the SFL board

[story of my life]

And the stupid thing is that if you blokes went to 2 divisions and had promotion and relegation, other clubs would be looking at joining, not leaving

great point, i know that i would much rather drive the 30/45 minutes to christies or aldinga or porties than drive an hour out to gawler or angle vale from my place at marion!!

Does that mean CLG would be up to looking at coming across if 2 divisions?

wake up board your precious league is disolving before your eyes....

Step up or step aside...

A question that should probably be asked is, who would take over the current board positions? Is the reason for the SFL board being weak that no one else will put their hand up to go on the board? I know we struggle at times to get people to put their hand up to come on the board at our local club, is it any different with the SFL board? The SFL board needs an injection of younger, forward thinking heads along with some fresh old heads but is anyone prepared to do it? In my case I am flat out on the board at my own club and wouldn't have time to commit to the SFL board, I imagine this would be the case with most other passionate local footballers, volunteers and supporters.

I believe the SFL board has more than enough directors and executives 13+ from memory. Within is a wide spectrum of views and some quality representatives. My concerns are at times the board forgets that their role is to represent the member clubs!
Since 2002 with the introduction of 1 division the clubs have voiced concerns of the gap between top and bottom with little or no action from our board!
My mail is there appears to be some movement within the board and one suggestion is in 2012 play every side once from round 1-14 with the premiership table at that point to determine div 1 and 2 for 2013. Peronaly a good start and am interested with views.
PS also at least 4 clubs looking to enter the SFL if this occurs

Sounds perfect im not sure how anyone could possibly argue against the proposal.

Good on the surface, but would need a little more substance than that. Just an example, but imagine Mville Park gaining a few recruits, pinching an early upset win in the A's against one of the big 4 or 5 teams. A Team like Cove, with a full compliment of juniors, a new coach finding his feet, take a little while to gain momentum. Could possibly one result decide the fate of a club for many years to come. In 2001 when Pottsy came to Morphett Vale, our first 9 games we were 1-8. We went 5-4 against the same oppostion the next 9. 3 years later, the club was a powerhouse. Good to see the ideas being thrown around, but it cant be as simple as going by the table after 2/3's of a season.

For starters Kangarilla would be back like a shot.

It's the only fair way to do it unless you can think of another option? If a club deserves to be division 1 they will have to earn the right - if not bad luck!

Motion up at the AGM to expand the board, so I doubt there is a shortage of people looking to join

Numerous rumours do the rounds each year, over the past 5 years I have heard the following:

Hills FL
Kangarilla
Ironbank
Blackwood
Meadows
Macclesfield
Echunga

SAAFL
Plympton
PHOS Camden
Colonel Light Gardens (thanks to BFG)
Kenilworth
Adelaide Lutheran (!!)
Flinders Park
Mitchell Park
Glenunga
Mitcham
Cedars (who are these?)
Western Warriors (again who are these?)

New Starters
Woodcroft Old Collegians

So take your pick!

Looking at the agenda for the AGM it appears that it is the executive (Officers of the league) plus 5 other directors currently. If it's a 4 man executive that would make 9 directors. I think there are some proxy directors serving currently. There is an agenda item to expand it to the Officers of the league + 7 other directors + 3 proxy directors. That would make it 11 with voting rights plus 3 without.

Just looked at the minutes of the last board meeting and there were 12 directors present so Shoe Boy was pretty close. Only half of them I reckon I'd know on sight though.

Sounds perfect im not sure how anyone could possibly argue against the proposal.

It is a good start but there would have to be more to it than that. What about all Div.1 clubs having to fill 18's,16's & 14's on the same day? Surely that would make it a stronger comp.

That would be a requirement to part of div 1
