Now I maybe ignorant here, but to be zero or -1 points, you have had to play 25+ games for the club in previous years or juniors?
If this is the case, does this apply for the college sides? i.e. do they have to play 25 games of college football to be worth zero or -1?
You really shouldn't listen to the girls whispering to you at The Palace - they will tell you anything for another lap dance
None of the A Grade players went to PAC in Year 12 only.
James Admiraal played soccer at school and plays in the Bs, PLUS joined us straight from school so he'd be zero points anyway (Adders - we'd have to be pretty short mate

)
Happy to confirm if you can give me a name, but I doubt you'll give one.
Hahaha nice one Jimmy, only reporting what I hear after all that is what this site is all about. I was a bit foggey on the rules for Old Scholars sides. However I still think after a few investigations into some sides, a few clubs may get found out. Not saying yours is one of them though. It is a funny system, currently as it stands I personally could change to 3 different clubs from the one I am at now and be zero points as I played junior footy at one, went to high school at the other, and also have played over 100 games for the third one.
But if I wanted to say try and play A grade at a top notch div 1 side (higher grade than the other 3 clubs) I would be worth 3 points!

Well, that's the difference between us FF, I only report fact on here.......

OK maybe not
BUT - considering you had a crack at my club, AND I know the girl (Yardy Lard) at the Palace that gave you the whisper the other night, and you know I love to dissect and respond, I retort with the following:
"Not saying yours is one of them though" - bull$hit - you were insinuating it and I called your bluff. Name and defend!
"I played junior footy at one" - if you played 25 junior games you would be zero points for them forever. That is where the system works well - rewards the clubs that promote juniors
"went to high school at the other" - did you play 25 games for them? Depends how old you are - very few high schools play footy now. Colleges, Marryatville and AHS as far as I know. I only wish the public school football system was still there so the colleges could regularly play Henley, Plympton, Unley, Norwood/Morialta High etc. I still drink with Norwood and Unley blokes that I played against.
"and also have played over 100 games for the third one" - granted - zero points
add in - which senior side did you first join?
