Brickbats to Birdwood for not seeing the bigger picture, and Echunga - we all know who! All the best though to everyone for 2016.

Not seeing the bigger picture??? You've said on your own facebook page that Riv Indys is much better suited to your needs - that is exactly what we've been trying to say!!
If you continued on the way you were going, SC would've ended up folding, which is what none of the HFL clubs wanted. We just wanted you to play in a league/div more suited to your club.
Not having any juniors coming through to fill senior grades was always going to make it too difficult for you to compete in a relatively strong div 2 comp.
Best of luck in Indys - I sincerely hope you have some success and enjoyment.

Going off the clearance website Birdwood seem to have had a large number of players leave but also seems to have balanced that with a fair few new recruits can anyone comment on the quality of these ins?
Nairne seems to have recruited well going off the site also, however may have lost Wade Hancock to SANFL (does anyone know how he is tracking down there? likley to get a game?) and also Luke Murphy to VIC.
Meadows seem to have a few in's not too many outs... seem to have been pretty quiet over the summer will they improve or still see them finishing outside the 5?
Maccy - Seem to be similar to Meadows will they be around the mark again this year?
Kersbrook - Have lost Ebert, and only a handful always a class act with a well managed list and perform come September. Will be around the mark again, are they being quiet on a few other recruits which are not coming up on the clearances yet???
Kangarilla - A few coming in on the clearance page, depends on the quality of these recruits as to how they improve, hope they are able to improve for the betterment of the competition.
Gumeracha - have a few pending clearances and one denied does anyone see Gumeracha breaking into the top 5 this season.
Bridgewater - Topped up on a few players and will be pretty disappointed with how they finished their impressive season last year and will be the ones to beat this year...
Predictions for the year ahead:
Bridgewater
Kersbrook
Nairne B
Meadows
Macclesfield
Birdwood
Gumeracha
Kangarilla

The one denied clearance for gummies is for bradon olewenski it's it only because he has a best and fairest jacket he has not returned back to his former club. Kid can play as well
