U18Girls Div2: Unfair?
To reiterate on this issue, F/Ville div 2's played southern tigers- their div 2 side. The ending score 63-17.
Sturt(team 1) beat Eastern div 2 side 62-21.
South 1 beat North's div 3 side 45-11.
Last year, F/Ville under 21's div 2 side played eastern div 1 side. They lost 110-10 (rough score from memory). After that season and game- a few players were lost. And if games like this are going to happen, more players will be lost.
Why cant BASA and clubs work together instead of shifting blame or half accpeting suggestions and then nto acting on it? This goes for most issues clubs face each and every year. Yet it seems to be the same problems that resurface.
Listen to the players that complain all the way home in the car about losing again, listen to the parents thinking why am i paying money for this to happen - they are the ones that count and bring to the money, the competition and entertainment to clubs and BASA.

often it is difficult for clubs to nominate teams that they think will be competitive, simply because of lack of knowledge of the competition. Maybe BASA could look at adopting an approach similar to Netball where after the first three weeks, the association has the authority to re-classify (move division) the teams. Although this will open a whole new can of worms, but it may be what is needed to ensure most grades are competitive through-out the season.

Well North (i assume div 3) - South game @ Hillcrest on Friday night was a joke...one team struggled to get it over the half for the majority.

$7.2 M does seem high for a valuation, but it's pretty much what market dictates. I was approached as part of the SOS Consortium and the value was much lower then, but times have changed
