Do people still think there's no need to reduce the number of clubs/teams, this is getting embarrassing.

Who has forfeited their games this season?

Surely those are the clubs that SACA should be looking at culling, if anyone?

Northerns forfeited on Saturday after having 2 players available for D grade and Southerns had 3 females playing D grade cricket due to lack of numbers.

Sure some will drift off to other things but you only need a handful per year to come through to maintain numbers at senior level.

I'd say the cost of junior rego vs senior rego may play a part in that along with teenage boys wanna have a hit with their mates and mixing it with the older statesmen isn't as appealing for them.

That's a fair point. What are the ball park subs figures out of interest?
Mixing with the older guys is an interesting one. Ideally these U16's would have at least had a couple of senior games the year before and/or attended a few trainings. Help them acclimatise, meet a few people, get to know some players. Smooth the transition for the previous season.
If the juniors and seniors were fully separate though I can see how it would seem to be a jump into the unknown.
Might also be that if a couple of juniors head out to senior preseason then a bunch will follow because they know at least a few people who are there. If players hear that Joey and Billy aren't playing then they'll decide I'm not either and it spreads from there. Such a shame because a lot of these kids would have already been in the grade system for 4+ years and would have something to offer.
How good are clubs at mixing their seniors and Under 16 players? Are they completely separate?

Would senior subs be similar at Adelaide turf clubs?
