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

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.

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)
