Why does it matter if it's 9 teams? A bye probably isn't a bad thing with this generation. 16 games is still plenty.
Not a big shock. Ironbank will probably have an issue with Juniors considering the 16s are mainly bridgey and don't know how many 18s stay down again. Be preferable if the Juniors could stay together probably.

Yeah agree, always thought 9 teams was the best number for a country league, and that the Hills should aim for 2 x 9 team divisions. 16 games, draw is even so play each other twice H & A have a bye, still keep the final 5. Unlike comps with less teams where they play each other 3 times a year, which can get a bit monotonous over a number of years.
While it's hard than cricket teams folding adn re-emerging, hopefully if Bridgewater can keep some pulse with their juniors they can work on senior numbers and re-establish themselves in Div 2

Would be good to see Bridgey re-emerge in Div 2 in all capacities. Div 2 now has Junior and Senior colt comps and the division would be easier option reinstating seniors. Lot of ex Bridgey blokes at Maccy but unsure if they would go back.
Ironbank if they came back to Div 2 would smash the competition at senior level. Gap between Div 1 and 2 has widened considerably since Echunga proved their was little between them 10 years ago.

Depends when you get the bye. If you get it either side of the long weekend it sucks. A couple of years ago we played 2 games in 5 weeks because of public holidays & having a bye & both the games were away.
