Maybe the issues you are talking about are a sign that the centralisation of community football in suburban Adelaide has failed. Maybe bigger is not always better. There are too many clubs getting lost in the insignificance of the lower divisions.
Perhaps its time to break up the Amateur League.
Reform a competition in the Northern suburbs, one in the Inner Southern suburbs and one around the Eastern/North Eastern area.
The Amateur League can then go back to being predominantly Old Scholar clubs and a few amateur teams. All the clubs that keep whinging about paid players.
There is also room for a SAFA style Semi-pro comp.
Growing the Amateur League is not the answer, that has been a failed experiment and seen a lot of clubs die as a result.
Great idea, we coud Angle Vale against Salisbury North in the reborn CDFA. Or Goody Saints v Mitchell Park in the Inner-South FL. That'd be great viewing.
Angle Vale & Mitchell Park are two of the clubs making a fuss about not paying players. They would be perfect candidates for a better regulated Amateur League.

Righto then, they can play Adelaide Uni's A Grade. Problem solved.
You are not really putting much thought into this are you?
I would expect them to play against the lesser Old Scholar teams, like minded clubs and Uni's lesser grades.
I would also expect those clubs to improve from where they are now, else why are they bothering?
