Let's be honest the two clubs hate each other and would be a reason why Masala would look to change comps

All good. Just curious, especially since we're 5 minutes away from East Malvern

why would they change comps because St Johns don't like them? Masala have beat them 2 out of 3 games this year.

Geez, Imagine how that would go down with certain peeps Chumpy one!Ivanhoe and Parade to merge Brainy one?
Chump
However, it does make sense for them to merge and drop to D3 to even up number of teams in D3 section!
Chumpy Old Boys, or Old Chumpy perhapsIvanhoe and Parade to merge Brainy one?

These are two resolutions and will be voted for separately.
As per our club constitution, the resolutions will need 75 per cent of voting members to approve for them to be carried.
Members who hold voting rights are life members,
fully paid (subs) players and those players on an agreed pro-rata subs arrangement.
If you have any questions, please reach out to club president Pete Rawley on 0437 110 865 or email pete@evolutiontc.com.au
Details about the club's constitution and proxy voting forms (should you not be able to attend) are available to download from the club's website at https://ivanhoeafc.com/
Would be a sad loss given how successful they were in the comp for so long.

As you can imagine, it was THE topic of conversation at the club lunch yesterday as the President addressed everything to those in attendance.

Ivanhoe have been a great club with great people for many years. No doubt all options have been considered. Just a really sad day for our competition that a club with 100 plus years of history & tradition needs to look elsewhere to survive and thrive.
Good luck to Pete and his commitee over the next few weeks.

Opens a new can of worms in the divisions about promotion/relegation too. Do they want 4x 8 team divisions or 2x 10 and a D3 of 12?
I would guess the latter. So most likely 2 up/0 down unless by request.

Chumpy, as a stalwart of the Hoes, you would've been there front and centre!As you can imagine, it was THE topic of conversation at the club lunch yesterday as the President addressed everything to those in attendance.

It was another good opportunity for people to ask questions Brainy, and there were many throughout the afternoon - as you would expect with a topic such as this. It's been a long process for them (9-10 months) and there was a fair amount of detail around things and how they have come to this point in the process.
Chump
How many life members do Ivanhoe have? Besides players who you’d imagine Would mostly support the idea do you expect much opposition?It was another good opportunity for people to ask questions Brainy, and there were many throughout the afternoon - as you would expect with a topic such as this.

I'm not sure of how many life members the club has but the general consensus at Saturdays lunch was that people were open to it and players on board.
A few questions asked that the committee is looking into with the NFNL, but my feeling was the room was positive. I had a few cans though at the lunch

On the rare occasions I've been to Ivanhoe to watch a game of footy, I certainly enjoyed a beer on the tiered seating in front of the rooms. The twilight games were also quite popular.
It will be missed

Very proud club.
FWIW has the Committee gone and watched any Div 3 NFNL games as part of their research?

No idea if anyone from the committee has, but they have played Eltham Turtles the past 3 years in a row in praccy games and have a few players come/go from Div 3 teams in recent times. Why?

I think it’s a rabbit hole that I wouldn’t want an amateur club to go down, how many semi-professional and country clubs have folded in recent years? Without knowing the going ons at Ivanhoe, perhaps exploring a merger with another VAFA team may make sense?
Having said that, Banyule seems to have made a fist of it changing competitions, but how long will that last?

It would give the NFNL 30 teams, which is perfect for 3 divisions tbh
Two of the division 3 teams (Lalor and Reservoir) are struggling and their future isn't assured. The travel Ivanhoe faces (Kinglake, Kilmore etc.) isnt always local either. The change to NFL will have some people scratching their heads.
