When is this going to be finalised?
I need to start charging as a consultant. I put my idea for restructure up in 2008 and it was implemented the following year!

Good , now that next years structure is all fixed, can you come up with a fair set of rules around players qualifying for lower grade finals?
The current ones , while I'm sure were introduced in good faith, seem well weighted towards the super clubs' .
Your next project Pekay.

I was wondering how you got your gob on the official Phelan night photos. Now I see that it was a picture of SFL movers and shakers..!
[QUOTE=Benchwarmer;740934]Isn't is as simple as changing the number of qualifying games for clubs with more than 2 teams ie for for your third, fourth or even fifth team to qualify for finals selection you can not play more than 4 (or even 3) games in divisions above your grade and must have played at least 6 games. This would stop clubs sacrificing their their second or third team after 9 rounds and thinking of qualifying players in the lower grades. ie with UTS Div 4 (fourth team) once a player has played 4 games in Division 1 or 2 they can not be selected for finals. This means clubs like Campbelltown, South West and Nor West as examples would not play a completely different UTS, Penno, Syd Uni teams in the finals to the one they played in the home and away.
P.S. I still think the change from Divisionalisation is wrong and a change like above would stop the "super clubs" manipulating the system for Premiership wins in the lower grades.
[QUOTE=Tom Wills;740959]If my understanding is correct, there would be the two tiers, followed by the lower grades. In the second tier (non-prem div sides), at least those 8 or so clubs would know that their first grade side would be similar (barring injuries of course) that the team they played during the year would be the one they play in finals. In regards to the lower divisions (I'm talking the ones below PD/Reserves and Prem B/ reserves) a possible solution would be that if players had played more games in a higher grade, they would be ineligible to drop down, instead of the current system of "9 or more games". Always seems to be a mountain of players in PD clubs that have played 8 games in a higher division and a lot less in lower grades.
I assume you're talking about 2014? That was the last one I attended. Accepted the McFarlane on behalf of one of my boys.

The super unis of UTS and SU fielded teams completely different to the ones we faced less than a month previous on multiple occasions. We faced SU and they didn't even have Chas or Barnesy playing, two of their best contributors. Makes you wonder what the point is.
