united will be right once they have other mcardle boom,

[The Big Shrek]

what a load eagles population base is big enough and is only going to get bigger along with two well/ Virginia hamley going backwards and everyone else about the same. Longies get players from other clubs (now starting with juniors) so imports are no more important to them. The only way you can realistically assign imports is on recent past form. This runs along the same lines as the afl reverse order draft. Everyone just wants their club to get an edge over the rest.

Ok numb nuts, explain your way through this:

Two Wells 2349 people, median age of population 35
Balaklava 1627 people, median age of population 46
Virginia 1434 people, median age of population 38 (Only 13% Asian, 2gd4U)
Mallala 1033 people, median age of population 40
Hamley Bridge 783 people, median age of population 40
Pt Wakey + Lochiel 644 people, median age of population 46
United??

hey ace, if you are going to "quote" statistics can you reference them for me please, so that a bit of checking can be done. anyone can put in what ever numbers they want onto a forum. and by the looks of things you have just included the townships of pt wakefield and lociel, doesnt HWE have a larger zone than that. united are really the only club who can seriously play the population card (even though i dont think they need to), as for growth what happens when lewiston really takes off, the virginia grove comes to bare fruit and of course that marina thing at pt wakefield.

My apologies,

http://www.censusdata.abs.gov.au/ABSNav ... PL&topic=&

check away

And how can United be the only team that can play the population card the census data clearly shows that some clubs have up to 4 times the population in their immediate town than others. Two Wells for example should be able to fill 4 A grade teams with that population ( ). And as far as growth, lets deal in cold hard data not on the possibility that a Marina may be developed in 10 years if it ever gets through planning approval...

Hasn't the marina been given major development status? They'll shove it through no matter what people think.

[Ace of Spades]

Yep. correct, major development, its been about two years in the making already and its not even approved let alone started.

[The Big Shrek]

Yep. correct, major development, its been about two years in the making already and its not even approved let alone started.

Yeah but at least you don't have to worry about any court cases holding it up.

Got you on our side have we?

[The Big Shrek]

Nah, major development status means you can't appeal the minister's decision in any way. Usually you can pick holes in it and delay things if you wanted to.

confused why we are talking about future developments
under the old system of imports they were reviewed each year
so for next years imports you would only look at current populations

in 5 years time if wakey have an extra 1000 ppl in the area then you would adjust to suit that

i thought each team had its own boundaries....so that it stop teams poaching locals from other teams..for example a united local would be classed as a two wells import and so on.. if you get my drift? but im not sure? can someone clarify?

I believe that is not correct. A 'local' to any team can come from anywhere in the APFLs defined zone.

Correct, when I moved from Mallala to Balaklava I still played as a local as I qualified under the years of playing rule which also classed me as a local at the Pies even though I was living in Pt Pirie for a couple of seasons.

Not sure if thats 100% correct guys. Luke Spangas is classed as an import for us because he lives in town, even though he played a lot of junior and seniorfooty at Balak. He would be classed as a local for Balaklava, but like I said, cause he lives in town he is an import for us (worth every penny too).

You would have eaten all the fruit! Ah well, at least it's healthier than shniters. Is fruit part of the big pre-season plan? How's that going? I just got back from a run.

[boozehound]

Yeah going well. having a minor op in two weeks but after that will be gold....The back is all good now is it...that was a quick recovery....
