Westies have benefited big time from the junior zone around Flagstaff Hill and Abergoyle Park. It is nowhere near Richmond and was not traditional heartland. Most clubs will have similar examples. Building relationships in these areas take time but do pay off. Ultimately those kids in each zone don't get a choice over who they play for and this is the main function of the zone rather than trying to convert supporters.

Where is the current Eagles/Glenelg boundary? I thought it was the Torrens.Aerie wrote: Even give up everything south of the River Torrens if need be.

When my son was at Lockleys FC, juniors living at West Beach were zoned to Glenelg, the other side of the Torrens was the Eagles, a big chunk of Lockleys and all of Brooklyn Park was West, Lockleys FC falls into Wests zone

They are not happy about it, but will now realise what we've had to do in Riverland and Bays down in South East as well as clubs like Eagles and North.

Ive only spoken to the one person at the NFC but they didn't give the impression of being upset about it at all.

Same, seemed to be looking forward to the challenge. Obviously will be a shame to lose our Hills area which has been quite fruitful but im sure with some hard work we can make the Eyre Peninsula a successful recruiting area
