Looks to me like there are two sets of rules...... You need to have confirmation of good Junior numbers in all grades by November to gain entry to Central Division but once you are in you don't have to retain those numbers. Most smaller town clubs struggle with Junior grade numbers from year to year.
Also wouldn't be surprised if there are two arguments coming out of Echunga to the HFL regarding the move to Central Div and maybe the NO group is more convincing in their argument.
Either way its still a poor look and one that is almost bordering on incompetence

Thanks for the mention FD. We haven't been factored into this discussion thus far. Colts for us are not envisaged in the next 2 years as our aim is to live within our means and field a side of locals or nearby who play for the jumper. When we have enough kids we will expand. Until then we would hope there is a place for a club which actually represents grassroots footy.
Players win awards. Teams win games. Clubs win Premierships.

I heard a rumour that Ladhams was going to play for Mt Barker for the 6 matches he was back from work and finals. Im sure ironbank wouldnt be too happy if this were true

Did you guys get a vote ?
Yes as far as I know Milang did get a vote and so they should. Probably the only club that stays out of the firing line and gets on with playing footy.

Well considering hes just built a house up that way this makes sense .. don't think Ironbank would be to assed about this considering the steer they got from laddsy to get hold of jars ! would be nice if he played those 6 games for the thunderers tho
