Has this been addressed by the VAFA anywhere? Are SM planning on playing clubbies as well?
No idea but I can guarantee the clubs have been informed. Received an email about it on Monday.

Yes and yesHas this been addressed by the VAFA anywhere? Are SM planning on playing clubbies as well?
Why are Sth Mornington not afforded the same right to have just a senior team in D4 ???.
Totally agree Ruck Machine, the perception I have as an outsider is that the district sides left in the vafa have no chance of being successful and also it is no coincidence that most struggle to get out of the lower grades of this league.Because SM are a district club and the VAFA seem intent of pandering to 'Old Boys'.
Also they probably want to break into the footy market in Melbourne South East (again).
Will be a terrible look for the VAFA if they let SFX in. It would show poor values and a lack of integrity IMO.
Azza Taylor too.
Now Westbourne have 2 forwards capable of kicking 100.
Nice work Scoob
i wonder if chaddy are still offering money to blokes this year to get them on board
Chaddy are voting to let them in.Well as I'm assuming all clubs will be voting no lets just hope the VAFA respects that and doesn't let them in.

Chaddy struggle to make ends meet.
Don't know where you get your facts from but, I'd check them first.

We have them 1st round Away and last round at home.
So is this a certainty now? I was told that 5 clubs were against it last week. Is the majority being ignored by the VAFA?
It was 5-2 with two clubs yet to respond from what i was toldFrankly I'm surprised it is only 5.

The 2 clubs that voted 'Yes' should be ashamed of themselves (Chaddy and Westbourne?). Even if the vote finishes at 7-2 the VAFA will approve entry for SFX. D4 needed a 9-0 vote to be any chance of preventing the administrators from crapping on the division.
This wouldn't work as it would effectively be handing one of them the Reserve Grade premiership and giving the other a free hit (or an unfair advantage) at a Senior Premiership.While I agree its not a adequate solution, would clubs prefer to have a bye than only play their seniors?
I actually quite like the suggestion by a poster of either SFX or Mornington playing in seniors and the other club playing in the reserves. I would like to hear the thoughts on this.

So based on this SFX are an "old boys" club? They actually have no link to the School at all they are a long way from even being on talking terms! this is the main reason that they are struggling zero feeder.
Maybe the "old boys" clubs are just better run, more financial and have better links to jobs etc.? There are a few district clubs that have gone ahead and up the div's. They all have a common thread, a good structure off field!
