Similar with the team that dropped from div 4 is sitting in 10th with 2 wins, 4 losses and percentage of 33 and the team that came up is in 3rd with 5-2.
I assume the idea for divisionalisation was to make it an even playing field, but if a couple of last years div 4 teams belong in div 2 and last years div 3 side belongs in div 5, is it really even? Or does a good year bring more people to the club and make the promoted teams even better and the opposite for the demoted teams?
I know who ever gets promoted from div 2 to 1 has traditionally made the finals that year. Granted most of my knowledge is around div 4 and div 1, does this translate to other grades?
Good on ECE for driving across Sydney for a 5.45 game and I'm not having a go at them, but they are getting beat most weeks by big margins after losing every game last year.
