And with no guarantees over Swinburne and Masala, all is likely to change again before the summer is out.

The regard HQ has for divisional footy is evident with the mis-spelling of poor old Eley Park.

Box Hill and Richmond would be spewing with that

 

[unwise gamgee]

why the asterisk on BHN and AP

 

[rightfoot_sloth]

why the asterisk on BHN and AP

Maybe they might want to swap with each other ?

 

[Hammerjudd]

They can't do this surely Richmond and BHN shouldn't be going up.

seems more a matter of them getting shafted in that the grand finalists are staying in and Canterbury also going down who were competitive in div2

 

[eth-dog]

Whichever of AP or BHN is in D4 will have a percentage of 500.

Every other club strongly against

Div 1 and 2 clubs strongly against, based on fixture fairness, equality, recruitment and just general mess of a league keep changing the divisions when it was done 2 years ago

That’s not factually accurate.
The vote was closer to 13-9 (not in favour) and Canterbury were one of the 13.
They could however see the Roger in a shorter season with the drain on volunteers and players increasing. They are however concerned about the possible ramifications if a team in the lower division was to pull out.

 

[cromball90]

i can’t for the life of me work out how divvy4 will work given the extremely low numbers for chaddy swinburne and eley park
is it basically a thirds comp with no ressies?

Would expect nothing less from the VAFA.

FWIW so 6 clubs abstained from voting?

 

[God Yeah]

There was a little whisper on the Div 4 Southern Football League board that South Yarra (SFNL) and Swinburne (VAFA) may be merging. The combined team would play in Div 4 of the SFNL.

Anyone from the razorbacks on here to dispel or elaborate?

Are their home bases anywhere near each other? Sounds odd

I’m pretty sure they are ‘technically’ meant to be using the same ground. The one behind the Swinburne sports building I think.
However I’m pretty sure SY haven’t played a game at that ground since it’s been renovated. Could be wrong but that’s my understanding.

Nah Swinburne play at st James park down the other end of hawthorn

South Yarra have been homeless for years.

Fritsch Holzer is great post the renovation but not the best size for senior footy, also has APS school footy hovering in the background, St James is a dump and the clubrooms should be condemned.

Location wise they aren't that far away

St James is a lovely cricket ground, surprised anyone considers it a dump.

Turns to S*** in winter, facilities for senior football are terrible, can't swing a cat in their rooms.

grounds staff must only turn up in summer
