I’m a big fan of Clubs being proactive to sure up their future.
I don’t know enough about CMFL to know how well they will go, but Ultima obviously see more of a future in the CMFL then in the decaying GRFL.

The u10's comp was only played a few times with a few teams, made up of some 8, 9 and 10's. Some of those 9 and 10 year olds also played in the u12's.. but it was more for fun then anything.
What they should in the cm is score and have a ladder for the u12's, they know who wins and who doesn't and if the u13's netball is scored and have a ladder, finals etc then why can't the u12's?
I'd ask is there enough kids in swan hill? Lalbert used to be aligned with St marys juniors, which helped and lalbert have been doing it for years. I'm not sure if there's enough kids to have all grades filled from swan hill clubs, if I was on the board I'd want to know that as part of their application. Can they fill all grades of football and netball? If they can't, they should merge and get 4 games a year at ultima

Then we can start the u12’s at 7.45 in the morning for finals.
Not much difference to a normal day anyway, only day that the normal timings would change would be the gf day, they could play on a different field.. there's options there, but if the u13's in netball are allowed then so the u12's in my thoughts..
The league used to have under 11, 13 and 15 and 2 grounds. Meant if you played 4ths, you'd start at midday

Why should they have to merge? Why can’t it be okay if they don’t have an under 15s team in their first year for example? Surely it’s not that big of a deal if there’s an extra bye in the under 15s comp instead of turning away a whole club that is striving to play in a better comp and secure the future of their club instead of just waiting to fold or merge and lose the fabric of their club anyway? There are teams in the central Murray currently that have less numbers than ultima and is only going to get worse,maybe they are the ones that should be told to merge based off your current thinking?

It’s not just an extra bye though. We don’t play every team twice so some teams would have 2 extra byes and some 1. This affects the ladder, league B&F and goal kicking awards.

Most clubs don’t like using their second oval now. They would prefer to have their U12’s start at 8.45 in the dew and fog.

Yes that is true & I do understand that but surely there can be ways to work that out with the draw. Just like do now with the three teams having a bye the same week. Harder I know but it can be done. Anyways if they fielded 3 junior sides this year then it shouldn’t be a worry as that’s all the cmfl are required to have. The under 10s comp isn’t anything official.
