It's a bit ridiculous that the college system has so much power, even to the point of players being unavailable for SANFL teams.
Answer is simple. unless you've actually played the required amount of games at the specific amateur club, not the school, then you're a points player.
The college system wants it's cake, and wants to eat the whole thing too. If college A want's you, or forces you to play for the school first, then its bad luck for College side A who has a team in the amateur league. If player leaves College A at the end of his schooling to play for a country side, then comes back to college A Amateur club, then he should be points.

From memory this happens in Melbourne, and I think SHOC have fielded some U18 teams in the AdFL from time to time.

SHOC had their 2nd team in the SANFL juniors system so they could get a game, as there isn't enough teams from college sides on the college system.

So a player who plays all his junior footy for his school, due to no fault of his own, suddenly works to a different system than the majority of ammo footballers around the state ??Yeah thats fair.
Well, yeah. It is what it is. Due to no fault of his own? His parents decided to send him to Said school, or the school may be paying a scholarship to have him there.. the family could have said no. Kid could have said no. The Club isn't the one paying the Scholarship. Play the required 25 games for the club in question, and become a zero point player.
If the college school sides wish to run their own junior comp OUTSIDE of the SANFL system, OUTSIDE of the Amateur comp, why should the Amateur club reap the rewards of zero point players? why should they reap the reward of having x player go play SANFL/AFL/ country, then come back to the Amateur club, who had nothing to do with his development, as a zero point player?
he played for the school, not the club.
Lets flip the script then shall we? if you play for a college, and come out of the college system, and go and then play somewhere else before coming back to said college amateur club, without playing the required 25 or so games for the Amateur club in question, then you are a zero point player for all clubs in the Amateur league regardless.

It's a fairness argument. The age is irrelevant. The school(s) has chosen it's path, and that's having it's own system.
You seem to be advocating, and happy with, a two tiered system whereby some Amateur clubs in the Adelaide Footy league get a free pass on points just because someone went to the school with the same name as an amateur league club, even though they have never actually played for that specific Amateur league club.
I even gave you an out, by suggesting that if they leave their said college , go and play SANFL/AFL/Country, whatever, and want to return to the ADFL, that they can return as a zero point player to ANY club in the ADFL, thereby opening up opportunities for any club to go after them , rather then being zero points for one club, and 3 points for another.

A point being slightly lost is so many of there old scholars won’t to go back and play at their school club rather than any local club they had any involvement with. They obviously do something right to attract players back to their club.
I would never have considered doing anything for a Craigmore old scholars team had it came into exsistance haha.

You can always do what Greg Anderson did and leave college to play where you want. Because, you know, playing footy is everything in life.
Its just too bad that the public schools gave up their participation in school footy.
Remember the great high school footy sides? I do. Where did they go?
