This. Gawler is pretty much metro now, but still part of a country league so should be considered country.

Correct mate. Country zones are determined by the country football leagues and their clubs, not by towns/geographics.
For example, if a lad lived in Mt. Gambier (Glenelg Zone) and players for East Gambier (Glenelg Zone), he is 'zoned' to Glenelg.
However, if a lad lives in Kadina (YPFL Eagles Zone) BUT plays for Broughton-Mundoora (NAFA North Zone) he will be zoned to North Adelaide and NOT Woodville - West Torrens. Very interesting.

100% incorrect. Alignment of a junior player to an SANFL club is based on his mother's address on the electoral roll. Which club he plays for, where he goes to school etc. has no bearing on this at all. If dad or someone else has sole custody etc. then there is provision for a stat dec to be filed in order to get a variation from that.
Clubs that have metro/country zones that meet, such as Centrals, South, Sturt, Norwood have been allowed some flexibility in allocating these players to metro or country teams at U15 level, but only because they are already zoned to club. The official cut off for metro/country is same as for SA govt. (Willunga to Gawler?). There is a distinct line though.

Let's say Jimmy comes down from Port Pirie to board at PAC, plays school footy for them, but club footy for Payenham/NU .. Which SANFL club is he aligned to, North or Norwood?

Always comes back to where you live doesnt it. That would technically be Port Pirie would it not?
I'm not an expert just trying to run thorugh the logic.

That's what I would have thought, but The Pat's previous post (with the Gambier example) made me wonder.

however i really dont care what it is considered as for the purposes of sanfl boundaries, i just find it funny when people try to claim it as "country"

Incorrect mate - what you've said is ONLY correct for the metropolitan area and not the country regions of the state.
For example, the Menzel boys played for Centrals because they lived in Centrals zone rather than being recruited to Norwood where their junior club (Golden Grove) was zoned to at the time.
That doesn't happen in the country.
