Maybe just give the half a dozen flags and let them write whatever division, year or competition they like, hang them in the rooms .
Then put them in the correct divisions and make them compete where they should be . Get back to being fair to all clubs.
How Div 3 can be a 9 team Comp when Uts won the div 4 flag by a mile just doesn't stack up.Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Albert EinsteinComment

Would love to see a return of some kind of pre-season lightning comp somewhere in Sydney or NSW. And not some poorly thought out AFL9s comp that no-one cares about.
Wasn't that long ago that Dubbo had their comp, Sapphire Coast ran one out of Batemans Bay as far back as 2010. I think Uni New England still run the Tablelands Cup up north as well.
Wouldn't take much to get off the ground, if Hawkesbury Sports Council would give us summer access to the main ground at Bensons we'd give it a nudge, 2 grounds, 4 change rooms and a clubhouse.....only a few issues to get around, such as the smell of turf farms and flies as big as Blackhawks.Comment

It was a great concept and top PR for the comp.
And usually an opportunity for a club a year to make some really good money out of the catering.
As a general rule the club would provide the venue and the club's entry fees would pay the umpires. Any sponsorship the league could attract plus some league funding would then go to a prize but the net expense for the league would be $5,000 absolute tops.
It was best suited to multi ground venues - Hawkesbury and Mac Uni would be well suited, not sure of any other multi ground venues out there.
If you had 8 teams, you throw them into two groups of four with three group games, semi-finals and ranking matches and then a final. So the winning club could play five matches. Which seems like a lot but it's not really if you made them 12.5 minute halves.
There'd be two lots of six matches in the pool matches so with a five minute break and ten minutes between matches you'd get them finished in four hours (9.00 am to 1.00 pm). An hour lunch break followed by the semis and final and you'd all be wrapped up by 4.00pm.

That team you mention wouldn't be in the Div1/Div 2 SFL/SFA comps in the hybrid model that RWO are proposing, it would be in one of the divisionalised comps below.
The clubs in the top two "traditional divisions" would be expected to take a club based approach and if a side copped the occasional hiding then so be it, that's football. Any club that wasn't able to handle the rigours of such a comp or had insufficient depth would probably get relegated naturally anyway. In any event it's quite rare for a team with a strong first grade to not also have a decent reserves too so I doubt there's be an issues like the one you mention. Since those days there's effectively an additional three clubs in the mix in those two proposed comps that didn't exist back then (UTS, the Sydney Uni thirds and fourths and Randwick - it provides extra depthComment

Zac my friend, either several concussions or the bright lights of the stage have dimmed your memory.
My old mate Thainy had kicked 10 goals on me to half time. With the delivery he was getting from the mids, a one armed kid from Rwanda would've pulled those marks down! I did cover Thainy's face in his own concoction of belt grip and vasoline that he had applied to his guernsey. It eased some of the pain.
I was switched to full forward at half time due to massive blood loss from my nether regions. Thainy is not a gentle man. From there, I took quite a hanger on Mints' shoulders on the 50m line and proceeded to bomb a goal from outside the 50. Minutes later, I crumbed a pack after a very rare foray into our forward line and kicked a right foot goal. Opposite foot goals are worth two, for defenders playing forward, they should be worth 3.
Thainy went on to kick another 7 in the second half and seal a Bats club record I believe.
NOR WEST JETS 2.1 4.1 7.3 10.3-63
UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY 7.5 12.10 19.12 28.13-181
Not a fun day, but you have to remember the good and bad parts.
The missus sometimes asks why I wake up screaming 'Thainy nooooooooooo' sometimes. Gets a bit weird.Comment

That was a tough season for us and Penrith. If divisions didn't come in the following year I doubt either would be around now.Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
