Can't believe Rocs didn't nominate a fourth side, a mate i worked with said they use to have 10 - 20 blokes missing out on a game each week. They won c1 in 2013? Then year after the club had loads of players and club told them they would be putting in a fourth side in this year. Not sure what changed but if anyone looking for excess players.
To be fair it's not just having extra players, it's also finding an extra coach, team manager, boundary umpire, goal umpire, field umpire, trainers, water runners, training space/times.
The logistics of fielding a fourth side, especially when your club has not built up the infrastructure to do so is a lot more difficult than merely having 95 odd blokes willing to play a game of football.
