Exactly this
Yeah nah
It should NEVER work that way
Why not?
So a player who plays all his junior footy for his school, due to no fault of his own, suddenly works to a different system than the majority of ammo footballers around the state ??
Yeah thats fair.
Well, yeah. It is what it is. Due to no fault of his own? His parents decided to send him to Said school, or the school may be paying a scholarship to have him there.. the family could have said no. Kid could have said no. The Club isn't the one paying the Scholarship. Play the required 25 games for the club in question, and become a zero point player.
If the college school sides wish to run their own junior comp OUTSIDE of the SANFL system, OUTSIDE of the Amateur comp, why should the Amateur club reap the rewards of zero point players? why should they reap the reward of having x player go play SANFL/AFL/ country, then come back to the Amateur club, who had nothing to do with his development, as a zero point player?
he played for the school, not the club.
Lets flip the script then shall we? if you play for a college, and come out of the college system, and go and then play somewhere else before coming back to said college amateur club, without playing the required 25 or so games for the Amateur club in question, then you are a zero point player for all clubs in the Amateur league regardless.
