Prioritised football development.. Withdraw any funding and support and encourage the best to play with and against the best.

Sacred Heart probably have a better team.

True, but better for his development to play league football against men.

And the sooner these stuck up colleges realise this and stop worrying about bragging rights against rival schools the better....

SHC have obviously released him to Glenelg for most games this year, can't see how a few games against strong opposition for his school could hurt his overall long term development.
I'd be willing to bet that most of the SA kids drafted in the top 20 over the last 5 years played some school football in their draft year.
It's possible you are taking a biased view here.

It has been like this for years. I don't think it harms the player at all ; Sacred Heart is nationally recognised as one of the best colleges for producing footballers.

Big game at Prospect next week, North v Norwood!
