How about the new club gets Vansitaart and North can head out North past the hospital.

Does the tranfer process remain the same in a case like this as I have already heard the mid se will not support pt macs transfer if they choose to. I understand there is an appeals process but clubs may not be prepared to push that hard. Could hamper portlands chances to transfer if no league will let their clubs go as the western border is to remain no less than 7 teams.
Yes it is specifically referred to in the doc which is up on the VCFL website. It's the end of July, the clubs have until August 31 to signify their intention to request a transfer to leave - based upon the report - the VCFL have indicated they will approve the Vic clubs (sans Casterton) moving to the Hampden League if they wish. Hamilton are being directed to the Hampden League, Portland have always been in a position to pick what they want to do and have never given any indication of which way they will go. I'd be thinking they will come to the Hampden League as well. Ultimately the ball is backl in every club and leagues court - there needs to be plenty of communication and common sense to get the best outcome for everyone. Leagues knocking back clearances will be futile this time. If clubs want to go - there will be nothing to hold them back.
Agreed, but Portland has been for joining the hampden if it came to it ie if the wbfl falls over, but Portland have never had any reason to make a move, until nowYes it is specifically referred to in the doc which is up on the VCFL website.

The new club will play in the junior competition for the first couple of years and then progress to the wbfl under age comp and then onto seniors and it will take around 5 years.East and West both have 5 u/12 teams as well. Just wondering how you start a club from scratch.?

On the ground situation I can't see Frew Park being used, not enough room to set up fences around etc but the location itself is excellent. Is there anywhere near the CBD that a new club could go? I would think they need the location to be close to town.
Hell it would take some motivated people to get it going. It's hard enough to find find those motivated people to run the established clubs.
3 years ago they would have recommended the Mount to have3 teams.... West to fold or merge.
They are just dreaming with this 5 clubs in the Mount.
Yes you are correct it would take some motivated people to get it going and volunteers are hard to find.Hell it would take some motivated people to get it going. It's hard enough to find find those motivated people to run the established clubs.

Yes that is true.I like your thinking, but the AFL and most probably the councils in Mt Gambier are going to put 0 into this proposal. Unless there is a massive demand for it I can't see why they would build an oval from scratch given the existing facilities in the Mount.
The elephant in the room in the whole report is the future of the district league clubs. Cleaely they are leaving it to each club to come to their own conclusions, save fro Casterton & Sanford. Juniors are great but it will not save senior footy. The AFL simply does not care about the health of senior footy in the country or elsewhere. Auskick is mass participation designed to hook kids in at an early age as supporters of the game. Given the pyramid model they employ, they know that they will get enough kids to get through to TAC level to fill the AFL, after that, it's largely "who cares".
I cannot see where the necessary funds or players will come from.
Imps kicked 9 goals in the last quarter to take the game which keeps them in touch with the 5. Looking at the ladder it looks like east will be safe but south could be in trouble - they have the bye then play imps at home. It could come down to percentage. South look like the inform side of the comp leading into finals and may not make the 5.
I believe hamilton and imps have met and will take the vote to their members. Consensus among their players is they will merge!!!
Someone said that west could shape the final 5. Looking at the ladder and percentages that could be possibly true.
Never thought i would see this day..Portland will likely head to Hampden to..end of WBFL as we know it.http://www.spec.com.au/blog/2012/08/14/breaking-pies-and-imps-will-merge-for-season-2013/
Hamilton & Imps to merge and enter Hampden League in 2013
