Believe it was mentioned at the SAAFL meeting on Monday night and it received an overwhelming response in the positive.
Obviously alot of water to go under the bridge before this concept would come into vogue but wonder what it means for Associations such as the NEMJFA etc
who have worked tirelessly for years to produce a good competition.
Also would it mean some Junior Footy would go back to being played on a Saturday morning as a lead up to Senior games
Interesting times ahead one thinks

I've heard it is a push by the SACFL to make the SAAFL run juniors, not initiated by the SAAFL .... but could be wrong

My information from some clubs is that the idea received some substantial support.
If this is the case what is the next moved planned by the SAAFL.
I have a Juniors Board meeting tonight with this on the agenda for discussion so I am just
seeking some clarification on what i have been told from other sources

I believe a working party will be set up to start to work out how to move it forward and I would imagine a meeting with all relevant Club people would also be on the agenda in the near future

From what I hear that's unlikely to happen either, as parents will be unlikely to want to travel the extra distances, ie: Kenilworth to Largs etc...
This is probably where SAAFL run juniors would benefit as zoning would be kept I would imagine.

Angle Vale to Hectorville in the NEMJFA, I like the concept of having a play-off between the winners of each group for a champion metro team but throughout the season no way.
A fair swag of parents wont be willing to make the extra travel and it would defeat the purpose of zoning them.

LM, I think the NEMJFA have it right in U6 to U10 with the north/south zoning to save clubs travelling so far, not sure if they will look at the concept in the older grades, I like your idea of a playoff at the end of the season, think that has huge merit

This year the Under 16's (and 15's) from Metro South have joined Metro West because numbers in both comps (more so MSJFL) were down.
It seems strange for this to come up without some prodding from outside it's a lot of work to take on for no reward. Are we sure a seed wasn't in some way plated by the CFL

Agreed, NEMJFA is very well ran and has good people behind it.

Happy to repeat No seed planted, no winks exchanged, no little pushes
This is purely from SAAFL clubs and as I said before if the clubs support it and want it then the League has an obligation to investigate it
