Are you talking about Para Hills returning via Div 5 and the knock on effect for relegation/promotion?

Someone just stated about Pulteney approaching Glenunga for a potential merger.

makes sense,glenunga & pulteney merger,glenunga have been struggling for depth for years,have brand new clubrooms,pulteney have no clubromms & their B grade are top.

very similar to the unley/Mercedes merger 5 years ago,look how that has worked out,div4 to div 1.

Not really, that was only a name change

It needs 2 separate clubs to come together before it can be called a merger. My understanding is that Unley had plenty of Mercedes lads in their juniors and wanted to establish even stronger ties with the school and old scholars network. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Mercedes OS football club.

I think this has also assisted Unley with player points and the quirky old scholar rules that also apply to PAOC, SPOC etc. Mercedes College may not be a high profile football school but I have seen first hand some very good footballers in their school teams over the last 5 years. Last years SA U18 Captain and Vice-Captain (Snelling and Haysman) were both Mercedes lads.

Myponga FC did something similar by incorporating Sellicks into their name which was seen as a ploy to encourage potential players from the Sellicks area to play for Myponga rather than Aldinga.

Don't know if they formed a club or not but there was a push for a Mercedes OC for about 18 months leading up to the Jets announcment......

A bit like when Hindmarsh CYMS became SMOSH.

Will Brighton be able to claim any old scholars of Brighton High as zero pointers if they are not Brighton juniors?

Does Brighton High School have a boys football team that competes weekly?

No.

That answers the question then from LGIL

They won the Open Knockout Football last year, or is the rule exclusive to private schools only?

Would Brighton High Students play enough games to qualify under the rule? If they only play the Knockout competition I find this very doubtful. Remember the hullabaloo between Brighton High and Glenelg over Bryce Gibbs and 1 other player?

Almost every school in the state plays open knockout? We'll take all Salisbury High kids as 0 pointers now too.

Either you have juniors at your club, or from your associated school, but not both IMO. (SMOSH seem to be the anomaly)

Considering school knockout games are 2 15-20 minute halves before it comes down to the last 16 schools I'd highly doubt that would count.

And SHOC and Unley-Mercedes (a rather odd anomaly in my view)

Snelling is an old Goodwood Saints junior

The last 16 are full games though are they not?
Making the final would mean 4 games, do that for 5 years between 13yo & 18yo and there is the 20 games needed without even suiting up for the club.

Or does the rule not count for the state school riff raff?

6.3 “Junior Football” means a competition in which players must be over the age of 12 years and under the age of 18 years on a prescribed date in the calendar year in which that competition is conducted and includes the Sports Association for Adelaide Schools (SAAS) secondary school football competition

It includes the SAAS competition, but it does not say it is exclusive to that competition.
