Not sure butwhat would the percentage of best 22 colts players in each WAFL club would be in the PSA?
Not sure but
In 2018 there were 9 drafted that were of age and not above the usual draft age.
Four of these were PSA. When you consider that out of the male student cohort in WA PSA only account for approximately 05% the PSA system is producing far more elite players. Maybe it’s the football programmes these schools are providing that are allowing. For greater talent to develop
If I remember correctly 3 of those 4 draftees were bought into those schools on “scholarships”.
The number of over agers you can play is set by the WAFL. This year I believe it has changed and you can only have six year 2000 born players in any team.
Last years over agers were kids born before July 99. Subi didn't play a lot of over agers they had a lot of top agers, and this has hurt them this year.
Historically Claremont have dominatd the colts comp and they have always played a lot of top agers.
The quality of your colts team has nothing to do with the number of players in State squads. Subi dominated the colts comp last year and only had three players in the 18's squad.
A couple of years ago East Freo were easily the best colts team throughout the home and away season and hardly had any in the 18's squad.
The quality of your colts teams depends on your depth. Peel have great depth as they have the biggest district. Historically Subi have been belted in the colts as they have the smallest district. East Freo have a good development system and this is shown by there recent consistency in the colts comp.
Well said. Is quite amazing to continue to see people foaming on about this though! I guess it has forever happened and will forever be the case.
The attributes which make a player successful in a state league or underage competition are not necessarily the attributes which are desirable in the AFL system. Furthermore, the question of team balance also must come into consideration.
I think many are sleeping on Trent Rivers as a top end prospect, played as an inside mid which I’ve hoped for all along
Valid points. Foaming haha. I think people get a chip on their shoulder about the PSA system. Where in reality kids will get noticed both in the colts and the PSA if they are good enough

You don’t get a ‘call up’ to play PSA. The boys nominate their winter sport and if they nominate footy then their school has to put them in a team. It’s compulsory!Great post, I don't know enough about the PSA system to comment but had the same sentiments about the Colts system. A family friend told me recently that their son who had never played football before was getting a call up to play PSA Footy but I know of many good players struggling to makes Colts sides.
True, the good kids play firstsYou don’t get a ‘call up’ to play PSA. The boys nominate their winter sport and if they nominate footy then their school has to put them in a team. It’s compulsory!
What’s your thoughts on Chad warner though? I’ve never seen his name before this year. Is the 18s the final team? Is there another cut? Or do they all play somewhere along the way?Just goes to show that selectors go with who they know rather then current form else Peel would have a lot more than 2 selections. Highlights the importance of getting in early in your career. In saying that though, 17 players who did not play 18s or 16s last year were selected.
Surely SF / EP's 1 and 2 would be better than the 10th / 11th East Freo player?
I would imagine they select teams prior to each game? or is there another cut to an actual team? I thought maybe all kids in the squad get a run?

I watched him on Friday night. Very strong, finds the pill. Stands up in tackles and then usually releases to the right option. 2nd best afield behind Robertsen on Friday night IMO as they 18s won in a low scoring affair against East Perth Reserves at Leederville.Sorry must have missed your Q earlier, I didn't notice him during the game but I generally don't watch the opposition unless it is a player who has already been identified as talent.

No mention of Warner but a good write up nonetheless from that game. I heard that Aquinas is happy to let Sharp and Ruscoe play the state 18s game tomorrow and let them out of PSA footy today? maybe Aquinas is weakening their stance especially after Sharp was injured last week at school footy.
as in development at wafl? I see what you mean. they'll let them play state games but not wafl. but sharp injured himself at last Saturdays PSA game the day after the state match on the Friday night. do you think that was his choice to play on the Saturday?
