Div 2 - Div 5 would be for single team clubs.
Season starting after Easter, same as the blokes, which means a slight overlap with the SANFL women's comp.

Even if half of those nominated get up, I reckon HQ would be working around the clock to work out how it should look this year with travel and all that given they have clubs from Hills, SFL and I even understand one from Murray Bridge (which will probably go in a hills div I'd say)

Some may not see this as viable because triple headers are life but at least it may encourage more income every week at the club BBQ and canteen wise

Murray Bridge already had a team, as did Aldinga, Iron Bank, Blackwood, Nairne Bremer, Mt Lofty & Kangarilla, a fair span geographically.

Most existing clubs that I've encountered are pretty much a separate identity to their senior footy, therefore have their own support staff.mickey wrote:Moving to Saturday afternoons could hinder some players who have football as their 2nd sport.

A lot already use the Saturday timeslot.
One thing I've seen over the past few years with the SAWFL is that it is a lot like the AFL with the match schedules, they send out a draft fixture for clubs to look at and then they will barter with the league for possible changes of games that they know they will have troubles with, some clubs announce they will host all their home games at 6pm on a Saturday, there's a lot of give and take.

I thought there was talk of a HFL Womens div..... as it was Div 4 last season (I think) had Ironbank, Kangy, Nairne B & Mt Lofty as 4 of the 8 teams...

From what I saw, it was get support staff from wherever you could...... My son, ended up as team runner for his GF's team a fair few times. I think he was even the Goal Ump one week!

PNU talking about having Quadruple headers. Would be great for the girls as they will be on 4th and will have a crowd to play in front of and feel part of the club. Could be a few lads on the balcony with some real sparkling repartee after 8 hours of football and a a few shandis.

Was talk of it but sounds like the HFL have dropped the ball there.Lightning McQueen wrote:Corona Man wrote:Lightning McQueen wrote:Footy Chick wrote:My mail is that womens will go from something like 45 teams in 2017 to nominations of around 75 for 2018.

Could work, could be a blight on your club aswell, I've umpired games after senior footy where the team managers have asked for the pissed blokes to be removed due to their sexist comments etc.
It's the most rapidly growing sport in the country so it needs to be handled with a bit of decorum and respect, if you're not there to support or have an interest in the game, go elsewhere.
