Watched the bulk of yesterdays game, by far the most accomplished attacking side I've seen in the SANFL this year.

Apart from finally being granted their current base (by the state govt?). Unfortunately a little late to sell their identity to an area already enjoying a strong football culture with the local leagues at one end, and a glitzy national league represented by 2 South Australian sides at the other.
They'd have to be the unluckiest club in Australia. A quick read of their history shows almost incessant shuffling of their base from what used to be just south of North terrace to suburbs not even half the age of the actual club, not to mention dramatically undersized recruiting zones that left them throwing money as their only avenue to two flags in the '30s. It's a wonder they survived. Recently they always seem to bear the brunt of whatever new controversial draft is implemented by the AFL and then don't seem to receive much reimbursement for it.
Rant over.
P.S. not my club, I just hate seeing honest clubs/ people being screwed around.


Mate, all of this and you haven't got your knickers in a twist about them running out of stout once!

Poor form. Inconsistent.
PAFC. Forever.

Our recruiting zones were crap from 2010 to 2017, has been adjusted now, should see better local recruiting in the next few years. We have 5 or 6 players who any club would take, the rest are fringe league players at the moment. We need this squad to stick together for a few years BUT that doesn't happen anymore, there's no loyalty & too many sooks who have no intestinal fortitude these days.


A report done by the SANFL some years ago showed South Adelaide and Centrals had the least amount of Primary and High schools (and students) in their zones. From memory the numbers were over 50% less than the likes of Glenelg and Norwood. Maybe it's changed in the last few years.


That may well be the case but it is completely offset by both Centrals and South having their country zones right on their doorstep which is a huge advantage, Ive said it before South have been outstanding in working their local zone in the last 6-7 years and are now starting to reap the benefits with strong juniors and many now starting to play seniors.

Possibly because, contrary to expectation, the fridge was still well stocked with stout at half time. :shock:

This is true. However the demographics of the north have shifted considerably in the last 10 or so years. I coached the Playford SAPSASA team last week and we had a whole 31 year 6/7 year old come out to trial. The Playford soccer team had 91. The amount of kids playing Aussie Rules in general in the the northern suburbs is declining dramatically, with a lot of families settling from other countries as refugees or the like. We have four full separate soccer games going on at lunchtime on our school oval (with a high percentage of these kids being from african, middle-eastern or asian backgrounds), with 2-3 kids kicking a footy off to the side.

The Barossa is still a great pool to pick from for Centrals, but the amount of kids in their metro zone would be a worrying trend for the powers that be at Elizabeth.

@pag we both know centrals have the best junior coaches in the country. If it wasn't for them it would be even more dire.

That's why they can't afford any recruits in the league side.
