These are never finalised until the end of February, It's the same every year.

So you won't see a draw until March.

Lets look at this logically, if you play triple headers

Follow your A grade, ;)

Wont that change somewhat if the U18 comp changes, hearing that U18 or U19 would be possibly run as double headers with C Grade games, all speculation of course

I’ve queried for you. AdFL are meeting SANFL next week to work out what U16/U18 is going to look like in 2019 which needs to be planned around the highest age group in SANFL Juniors.

I hope this doesn't happen. U18 should be able to be exposed to A/B grade footy if good enough, and if not ready yet, at least be able to watch their club's senior team go around on a Saturday. Not to mention killing the idea of triple headers.

Surely wouldn’t happen. Triple headers are a massive success.

C Grade & U18’s are the most notorious for misbehaviour - hence part of the reason why the triple headers originally were installed, why would you then go back to a different format when this is working?

Under 18s 3pm sunday arvo in my opinion is stupid

Theyre no longer juniors and the seniors get no exposure to them and they get no exposure to the seniors. Theyre 17yo and busy drinking all weekend then gotta get up for footy on a sunday arvo

They are the biggest assets at your club and most sensitive as most of them disappear never play again.

Meanwhile also in my opinion, being 30 years old plus and getting up at 8am to play football at 10am in the morning is ridiculous, us old buggers need breakfast and lunch and 5 coffees to be up and about. 10am starts can pee off, bring back 2pm starts :D

Playing cgrade with 18s means the club is open every week

Triple headers means the club is only open 9 afternoons a year

Moving Under 18s to Saturdays would be the death knell of the concept for clubs reliant on college kids.

I suspect moving to Saturday Under 18s would result in a net loss of footballers to the league

I think oval availability on Sundays due to the surge in female numbers playing footy is a major issue for 18s footy. And 3pm sundays is a **** of a time

Never hurt those before them, I used to enjoy getting down the club on a Sunday arvo watching the 18's, at least you were allowed to drink at them games.
