Why don't you go back and worry about the joke of a comp that you run and stop coming in here and trolling about how every SAAFL club is evil and pays thousands.
Pot calling the kettle black don't you think, although some kettles are a dirty copper colour...

BOS will win because they have a team playing for the guernsey and not the white envelope
So... from that I gather 100% of BOS have a strange devotion to their high school.
Or are they there to improve their employment prospects and hence there are other benefits? Still related to money.
Impressive that a team that has existed for less than 10 years and has no juniors has such a devoted following from what you are implying.
You would suggest not a great deal different to other Old Scholar clubs. Noted today that the majority of ROCS ins for this year have been ex scholars, Sacred Heart have a high percentage of old scholars too. I would suggest that SHOCs would be the same. Not sure what you're implying about having a strange devotion to their high school, maybe it's actually that thing called LOYALTY, something that today's generation has certainly lost! Proof is and will be in the pudding in the end. Won't be many years until the top divs are dominated by the Old Scholars clubs.

The club name has the schools name in it but that's where the association starts and finishes, other than the oval they play on is leased by the school from the Adelaide City council. There is no 'old school tie' or 'boys club' at BOS. Just lads playing footy.

I reckon when I was there the A grade was probably 85% Old Scholars. What is the % these days Sprint? it would be close to 100% wouldn't it? I believe the only cash incentive at BOS is when you get best player in the A's. in saying that that was back in 2009, could of changed now.

This is the problem with the Old Scholars Bloc and the point systems. These clubs contribute nothing to the development of junior footballers and don't field junior sides, yet get rewarded with a larger pool of potential 0 point players than a district club that has had to run junior programs in order to have a fraction of the 0 point players available to them. All because of some loose connection to a school, they get a free ride.
The Old Scholar Bloc still well and truly have control of the Ammos
