Your Club cried wolf and received extra points from the HFL to then go through the Season winning with ease, your B's even played in the finals so you must not have been that bad for numbers... definitely no worse off than many of the Country Division Clubs, and they don't even get the level of support that you got and you've been in the top two of the Division for many seasons.
And now the HFL look like making the same mistake with Mt Lofty, it's just not right! Clubs like Meadows, Nairne, etc are working hard to bridge the gap and are then handed another unfair disadvantage and for what reason.
Out of interest, how many points do you believe Echunga were supposed to have had last season and how many did they get on top of this?
Any additional points are not warranted in my opinion. As you've indicated you have absolutely dominated the competition so they are simply not justified no matter how you put it.[/quote]
Well then your opinion is null and void because you simply do not have any facts. When you get them, complain/opinionate away but have something plausable to back it up.
I'd be more concerned about the current state of play than the past.[/quote]
FACT - you were given 13 points but should have only been on 9 or 10 points the same as Kersbrook, and you were beating all teams (apart from Kersbrook) by at least 10 goals. You wanted more points because you lost a lot of players, well I'd suggest there's more than one club in that boat. You then go through 2013 winning all games and beat the second best team by 7 goals in the GF, and you think that's right... please!
In hind sight I wonder if the HFL are regretting their decision to aware additional points as they might not have the problems they have today if they left the points as they were.[/quote]
Agreed, top teams shouldn't have MORE points, however I think that some on here are arguing that lower teams should have more points...I get this point of view but I'd argue that if the 'best' team is to be promoted, shouldn't it be based on a level playing field ie same points? And yes, of course I want to see the Devs go back up but having read some statements on here & now seeing the clearances, it looks like it'll be an interesting year in any case.
