It's a bit ridiculous that the college system has so much power, even to the point of players being unavailable for SANFL teams.
Answer is simple. unless you've actually played the required amount of games at the specific amateur club, not the school, then you're a points player.
The college system wants it's cake, and wants to eat the whole thing too. If college A want's you, or forces you to play for the school first, then its bad luck for College side A who has a team in the amateur league. If player leaves College A at the end of his schooling to play for a country side, then comes back to college A Amateur club, then he should be points.
You can always do what Greg Anderson did and leave college to play where you want. Because, you know, playing footy is everything in life.
Its just too bad that the public schools gave up their participation in school footy.
Remember the great high school footy sides? I do. Where did they go?
Were the high school footy sides affiliated with a senior AdFL club & therefore zero points or are you talking before the points system came in
From memory, Unley and PHOS got dispensation. Maybe also Adelaide Lutheran (but I'm not 100% on that)
I know when Unley included Mercedes they weren't given dispensation because it was after the APPS came in
Not sure about Henley or Brighton
