Just been having a good look through the fixtures. Something needs to happen and happen fast with this.
Rosebanks 2nd 11 going from D grade to Barclay
Eltham potentially the same next season
Plenty going from D grade to Money Shield
Macleod Barclay 2nd on ladder, 2nd XI near the bottom of C...
Hopefully this is the catalyst to change the season dates.
Should be maximum play everyone once in a season. Start the season either mid or late October.
9 rounds, all two day games, play a sunday if you have to and get on with it
Its actually madness starting the season so early.

Epping obviously had a shocker on the weekend. Not sure what to make of them.
