Under 15 Grand Final

Never before have I seen a topic get so off-topic and confusing from Wedgie's original point.

So, just getting back to the topic - why does 100m make a difference why not 200m - how far "just over the border" are you allowed to be for it is not acceptable. I don't get it.

Unfortunately rules are rules and it is each club's responsibilty to check players' addresses before they are registered by referring to detailed boundary maps supplied by the SANFL. It is not that hard.

Mind you I can tell some horrific stories about some of the hills & country boundaries where they are very difficult to follow and clubs have mistakenly not contatced good players because they thought they were out of zone and realised a year or two later and were lucky that the club who they thought they belonged to had not already contacted them (one example the guy eventusally got drafted - in 2008 - and the other played SANFL state last year).

And then there is the story where a club knew that the boundary went through the family's property and technically the player was out of zone but they never told anybody and signed him up. Because they never did their homework, the real club never knew about it to this day - he went on to play league football.

I'm sure North would be spewing about losing the Chrurchill Rd to Main Nth Rd part of their zone. Many Broadview and Gepps Cross juniors live in that area, (Prospect Oval is just a few minutes away on the bike or on foot), and had to quit North to go to the Eagles. They now rely on parents to get them to Woodville Oval by 5pm. Not possible in many cases. There are a few good kids missing out on special squad action. Obviously the Kilburn club no longer runs a junior program so it doesn't affect them.

The NAFC Under 15 metro. team clearly showed they were the best team beating West Adelaide 7.8 to 4.3 at AAMI Stadium Saturday night. In fact the closest any side came to them was our own Country team in the annual Country v Metro. clash in Port Pirie in the first week of the holidays. Only a goal separated the sides. The Country unfortunately lost their Grand Final to Glenelg. Several of this metro. side has already played Under 16's, with Jack Viney also representing the State at Under 16 level. (He will in the SANFL State Under 16 team against the Vic. Country on AFL Grand Final day to decide the National Champion.) The dominant performance by the metro. side coupled with the great showing of the Country side augers well for the SANFL Under 16 competition next year, and I suggest on what we have seen so far, we may have at least six in next years State Under 16 side.

Best players on the night were Cameron Craig (brother of James), Sam De Leonardis, Matthew De Nieuwe, Jake Liston, Matthew Forrester, George Hannaford, Jack Viney, and Michael McMahon

Goalscorers were Patrick Manuel 2, Nick Amato, George Hannaford, Bradley Kosch, Dom Merlino, Jack Viney 1
