Any win over either Metro or Country is a good win. with the 18s this year being more competetive than any other SA u18 side for a long time and the 16s looking the goods seems we're doing something right anyway.

agreed. but swings and roundabouts in this area. but this will be the demise of the SANFL eventually. we are already seeing the quality of SANFL deminishing, now there is another 84 (cough) AFL players per season. we will be the preverbial feeding drip to ther national game. and see much more crap which we are seeing already in our local comp.(gowans,allan,fergusan,chambers ,cica and the like will be deminished from the comp we love im afraid.

What year will Jack Viney be eligible for the draft? Presumably West Sydney may still have some concessions whatever year it is. May be enough for him to join Melbourne through father/son.

i would think melbourne would get first dibs at him under the father/son rule. you have to be 18 to enter the draft i think.

Viney father/son to melbourne in the 2012 Draft.

Yeah, at least North will get 2 full seasons out if him because he's so good so young.
That's more tham most.

is tom whittlesea related to greg?

Very similar to Bryce Gibbs in that he is ready for higher level footy so young.

Spelly - eagerly awaiting your ongoing criticism of the state of junior football in SA - but nothing! What is oging on?

Nothing to criticise or awaiting the next minor set back to use as your argument that we should go back to the dark ages of U17 & U19s?

Nothing has been won yet. Anyway, you know as well as I do that the AFL system is here to stay and we await the next AFL driven change.

SA STATE U16'S CONTINUE THEIR UNBEATEN RUN: http://www.sanfl.com.au/news/sanfl_news/1226/

The McDonald's South Australian Under 16's have continued their winning ways at the NAB AFL Under-16 Championships, defeating Western Australia by 27 points at Blacktown Olympic Park.

whatever wrote:Viney father/son to melbourne in the 2012 Draft.

Thats if they match an opposing sides draft choice. And thats if Jack himself wants to move back to Melbourne!

If he does go to Melb, I wonder if that will influence his Dad as far as coaching, stay in SA or get a job in Victoria.

His dad could always come back to the Hawks as an Assistant.
I wonder if there are any previous scenarios in the AFL where a father is coaching against a son??

F*** the AFL, there is a famous one here in the SANFL Jack (Sturt) and Robert (Norwood) Oatey

But in the lesser league. Jack (Nth Melb) and John (Haw) Kennedy in the 80s
