2 part Division 2 question:
1. Does anyone know factually (as opposed to what their cousins next door neighbour's aunty told them) what the deal with promotion / relegation is? Does the winner of Div 2 automatically get told you're being elevated or do they get asked whether they want to stay?
2. Assuming the answer to (1) is that promotion is offered but not automatic, are there thoughts on whether the top few clubs in Div 2 would be keen to go up or stay should they win the GF?
Could be a potential lifeline for Yarra Glen.

From recollections of the past: the lowest ranked Div 1 club can be relegated ONLY if Div 2 premiers apply for promotion. However; if the Div 2 premiers don't apply, then the Runners Up can be invited. If no-one wants to promote, then the bottom Div 1 side can stay. The rules stated that the premiers SHALL be promoted if they apply.Other issues like divisional balance or new clubs can affect the structure.
Not aware of any significant change to these rules, but..
Monnie,
This subject posses another question, if both grand finalists from div 2 decline the option to be promoted to div 1, and the bottom placed div 1 team wants to go down to div 2 (to rebuild ect), then are they forced to stay in div 1 if the div 2 teams decline to be promoted? Or are the div 2 premiers forced to come up?

The smart-arse in me says wooden spooner drops down and we have the bye in Div 1 !! 
But a valid question I was sort of wondering myself.

emerald will win but not as easy as one may think.
powelltown to win again but not by huge amount
kinglake will beat seville they have the want to and i think seville is on the wrong side of the bell curve
thornton doesn't like yj ground might be an upset in the making
what do we all think about finals venues

Good question.
Don't know, exactly, BUT! I believe the YVMDFNL still has the power to make the call based on the best interests of the competition/s. I guess they would do an appraisal of each club involved, then weigh up how each would cope and whether it balances the competition.
Tough call for them. They would have to examine club viability, travelling, team numbers, u18's, finances and facilities for a start.
Then they have to cope with the vested interests during interviews with the clubs involved. They could call on the Regional Commission or AFL assistance to help decide, maybe.

It's a great question. Wazza believes Thornton and Kinglake will stay, which suggests it's been spoken about. I know for a fact Emerald want to come up. But that doesn't answer the question for future years should the above be true.
Emerald to pump Alex. A tight first half will blow open in the second half.
Powelly too strong, particularly up forward
Kinglake to win confortably. Seville have a lot to play for but I think given the weather this week and location, Kinglakes big bodies will be dominant.
Thornton too strong. Junction playing a lot of seniors in their reserves again meaning this will blow out.

I'll have a crack at the div 1 team of the year, I know this will draw a difference in opinion, but ah well, that's what this forum is about.

Difficult to say, but I lean towards the League.
The Commission oversees the region's leagues and drives the development resources for them. It is the primary conduit to the AFL machinery and its resources. The leagues operate with some independence over their own structure and administration of ground level competitions, but where there are (perceived?) anomalies, I guess the bodies would have to confer.
I don't see this as a problem.
The Regionalisation concept has a lot of potential to develop local footy. If the Leagues and commission get it right, it will be a fillip for our clubs, I think.

2) how did monbulk get a second division final??? is the league genuine about showcasing the football??? Can appreciate they want to share it around but surely let monbulk have a beer booth at another venue!!!
3) can't have the radio blokes doing the team of the year ends up being "who you know" not "what you know"!!! Reckon it should be handed to the captain and coach of all teams!!! The team of the year posted on here would be more accurate and well done on yours rammi I will post mine in the next few days...

1) Well tell you who won't be deciding!!!one Gordon Sumner!!! Obviously everyone wants this to go away but the league ceo has resigned and my mail is his strained relationship with upper management was at breaking point and then the woori/o'donnell saga happened and he was none too happy with the way they handled it!!!

Agreed with this. The ground literally has a 10m slope.
That Mitch O'Donnell is an absolute weapon! Another 2 games with weekend judging by the VFL clearances for this weekend!
I did manage to leave out s Dwyer (wandin) I watched him in the interleague game, that guy is a jet, I'm sure he would squeeze in there somewhere... Soz
