Yet West Adelaide were happy to take Blackwood off Sturt in the last re zone. Hypocrites

IIRC Brighton, Cove, Morphy Parks, Marion, are with the Bays.
Reynella, Morphy Vale, Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga, Christies, OSB, Aldinga & Hackam = South
Edwardstown, Happy Valley, Flaggies = West

Once again a new coach comes in and all the feeder clubs get told that south will keep in touch on a regular basis.
Once again many months have passed without further contact from them. NFI

Greenbank and Daniel May are 2 lads who played State Under 16 and yet hardly played much footy for South thereafter. Greenbank is playing A grade for Morphett Vale and May is at Happy Valley. There's a stack of others running around in A grade SFL who could be playing SANFL if South had kept them in their system through Under 17, Under 19 and now Under 18. Even a local product like Boyd they couldn't even keep after a B & F and runner-up Magarey. I'm not sure if Westies can take too much credit for working the Flaggy, HV and Aber Park area. The local clubs in Flaggy and HV have done most the work in getting those lads into a good junior set up and sheer weight of numbers has meant the very best have filtered through to West and then onto AFL if good enough. The numbers of kids coming through those areas must be reducing due to naturally changing demographics so even if South get it, the talent pool may be reducing in years to come anyway.

This is something i have thought about for a long time, with morphett vales weight of numbers going through juniors over the years, they have brought through an amazing amount of good local footballers, but none to the top level and hardly any at sanfl level. Surelt something they would be looking at as junior development should be getting the best out of your players at the highest level.

I can say with confidence that all juniors are encouraged to better themselves at league clubs and are fully supported in this. However, most of them seem to come away from South disillusioned as to where their football is headed, read into that what you will but it's a common theme of good junior players leaving South. It's been going on for years and doesn't seem to be changing at all.
