It's only my personal opinion but here it is.How has Kedron been effected by the AFLQ wheeling out the rogue elephant 5 years ago. Do you think it’s fair and reasonable to do the same to the Pirates
When kedron had issues there was no promotion relegation system in place.
They also didn't even play in the gf that year.
Not to let them go down one division has put them years backwards .
In my opinion kedron would probably be in division two and looking to go to division one by now.
Instead still in division three and trying hard to go up.
It wasn't an easy decision to go to Friday nite and it's one the club didn't want to do.
But when forced to make a choice they could either fold seniors or start again.
Not really a choice more a matter of survival .
Do I think it's fair and reasonable to do the same to pirates .
The simple answer is no.
Having said that the rules are different now.
I think that all clubs go through tough times and in those times of need we all should do what's in the clubs best interest regardless of rules.
It's not in the games best interest to put clubs to the wall.
Too many clubs over the last few years have folded or struggled to get teams on the paddock.
How is that good for footy in qld.
I think that going into meetings and only having one solution is just pointless.
We must acknowledge that most clubs are run by volunteers and sometimes they make bad decisions .
So do we punish them some more or should we let them learn from their mistakes and hopefully become better for the experience.
Not everything is black and white.
Look at what's happend and work together to get the best result for everyone .
Not everyone will see it this way but I'm a firm believer that when people come to you with serious issues we all should consider the options so a positive solution can be achieved.
I have no affiliation with any other club but people should think what if it happens to us.
How would you like to be treated.
I'm sure it's going to happen again and to deal with it the same way is an easy cop out.
