SA Footy

Seems Power and Crows have zones now
Eagles have lost port zones and apy lands
And centrals Norwood have lost zones
Am I hearing this right

No SANFL clubs have lost their zones. The AFL has give AFL clubs areas to work with the SANFL clubs to concentrate on kids who wouldn't normally play footy.

Correct, the AFL has given Port and Adelaide areas, "zones", to work with kids from non-traditional AFL back grounds.

Port and Adelaide can conduct programs to help develop these kids who will, when of the right age, go through the same talent pathways any other kids in the Norwood, Sturt or Eagles zone would.

So they'll play in the Eagles development teams, U18's and when they get to draft age if they are of a level that they can be drafted then Port or Adelaide will get concessions to draft them ahead of other clubs as they had helped them firstly into the game and then through the pathways to AFL football.

Ok makes sense the guy on Facebook was going on brought up aboriginal people
When I pointed out not all people with aboriginal blood like port he changed his view slightly

He really is a stirrer port he says will circumnavigate the rules players will be in the academy side .
No issue to me can't play thete after a certain age unless drafted

They're doing that already, it'll just be more obvious in the future.

Agius was one of our juniors, he's now playing for the Power academy.
Players coming back from the AFL is irrelevant.
