It needs 2 separate clubs to come together before it can be called a merger. My understanding is that Unley had plenty of Mercedes lads in their juniors and wanted to establish even stronger ties with the school and old scholars network. I'm pretty sure there wasn't a Mercedes OS football club.

I think this has also assisted Unley with player points and the quirky old scholar rules that also apply to PAOC, SPOC etc. Mercedes College may not be a high profile football school but I have seen first hand some very good footballers in their school teams over the last 5 years. Last years SA U18 Captain and Vice-Captain (Snelling and Haysman) were both Mercedes lads.

Myponga FC did something similar by incorporating Sellicks into their name which was seen as a ploy to encourage potential players from the Sellicks area to play for Myponga rather than Aldinga.


Snelling is an old Goodwood Saints junior


Yes but he went to Mercedes College and my point was about the football talent that has attended MC in recent times. If he wasn't an AFL rookie or not quite good enough to play SANFL then Unley/Mercedes could now be his club of choice rather than Goowood no different to all the juniors Walkerville lose to PAOC and SPOC because of school ties.

How many juniors do Brighton lose to SHOCs in a similar vein?

The last 16 are full games though are they not?
Making the final would mean 4 games, do that for 5 years between 13yo & 18yo and there is the 20 games needed without even suiting up for the club.

Or does the rule not count for the state school riff raff?

6.3 “Junior Football” means a competition in which players must be over the age of 12 years and under the age of 18 years on a prescribed date in the calendar year in which that competition is conducted and includes the Sports Association for Adelaide Schools (SAAS) secondary school football competition

It includes the SAAS competition, but it does not say it is exclusive to that competition.


At the moment, the SAAFL do not include Knockout Cup matches

Are the early rounds still lightning carnival type format? Where's the line?

Seriously mate how many schools will make the knockout final 5 years straight. Fair chance if your side was that good then SANFL clubs would be balls deep in the talent and good luck getting them to play in a shitty school knockout comp.

If one were to get a scholarship just for year 11 and 12 though 1-2 KO games could be all the difference!

I'm told it's all the subject of a CFL review of sorts?

Mawson lakes did approach St Paul's about merging when it was announced that St Paul's were starting up a new team.

Mawson lakes were told thanks but no thanks by St Pauls.

Robb Stark Para Hills will have the numbers quite easily.
