In which case a young Graham Cornes would be forced to pull on the Big V, etc.

You can see what they were going for with the 10-17 residency rule, it's when you form your identity as opposed to a random birthplace that may have zero bearing on where you actually learned your footy/grew up, etc.

It also prevented Nathan Buckley who identifies himself as South Australian from playing for his state

 

[edgie]

Make it a 10 year residency rule from any period of life til the beginning of professional football. Anyone who can't qualify due to moving around plays for the nomads, unless some time was spent in a football minority state like QLD which takes precedence. An appropriate silly idea for the concept.

Should've taken it to the High Court.

State of Identity then?
Or State of a origin of when you started liking footy?

 

[Grave Danger]

Every AFL player is drafted from one of the state leagues and I think the AFL still pays monies to the junior club the player went to the state league from[citation required] , so that's what should be used, even if the player moved state not long before being drafted.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Kristian Jaksch delisted by Carlton. I have a feeling I was keen for us to have a crack at him back at the time Carlton traded him in.

If it's just where you're born, what would be the point, when the concept was predicated on testing a state's ultimate football development prowess against another's?

Crawford and Goodes playing for SA?

Graham Cornes and Ben Cousins playing for Victoria?

For what purpose?

There's no purpose to any of it.
International sports, same thing.

This criteria is, however clear and definitive.

Call it SANFL v VFL if it's about footy development.

State team draft. Take it in turns picking players from anywhere.

 

[bomberclifford]

SOO should be where you first played club football.

NT would likely win every year.

Define club football ? U/6, U/8, U/10 teams included?? and then as 10 year old move?

Martin to stay at Richmond... Off to the North board.

Why not? If you have to register as a member to play and pay subs, that's your football origin.

Otherwise the whole thing boils down to which region has the most/best junior programs. (ie Victoria)

I was hoping we could get him and have him and Hombsch do a fusion dance to turn into Jaksch Hombsch

I think this is all really stupid. It should be based on what state you personally better identify with, and to that end it should be something you nominate on the day you get drafted and are then locked into for the rest of your career.

I feel the same way with international sports qualification. Just let people play where they want to play and take national affiliation changes on a case by case basis where a player must show how and why their affiliation has changed.

 

[edgie]

States are irrelevant to a lot of rural people though. A country places just exist in their own bubble.

LOL I didn't intend to start a SoO argument, I was just pointing out the dominance of the players from Vic and WA origins this year. No South Australians (Betts? meh), NS Welshies, Taswegians or Territorians (x2) in the ALL Australian team

 

[jordz82]

This is major news. Definite?

This is what I've heard, can't confirm though

 

[Lagooner]

Forget the states. It should be split in two like the Yellow Pages.

A-K vs. L-Z

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Team Ed vs Team Hame

 

[JimmyBeerCans]

Crows and GWS 2nds to play each other huh? you don't make finals the tier below it's stiff shit right? can you imagine us getting approval if the maggies were out of the finals

 

[SgtSchulz]

Imagine if he goes on TV and says he's going to North hahahaha #LeBron

I dont think it boils down to Victoria getting all the best junior talent, but clubs in metro, regional and rural Oz dont all have clubs with u/6, u/8, u/10, u/12 teams, some kids play at schools until they are 14 or 15 and they move state between those years.

For SoO I think the rules of where you lived the majority of your life between 10 to 17 was pretty good, not perfect, but pretty good and as good as any rule you could come up with. The most extreme examples are Buckley who moved all over the place and Don Pyke when we was picked for the Allies was mystified because he was 27 and 21 years of his life he had lived in WA. During that 10-17 year period he lived in Perth, Canberra, Canada or USA as his old man leading sports scientist Dr Frank Pyke moved around with his work. He spent 3 or 4 years in Canberra as Frank taught sports science at Uni in Canberra and was tied up with the AIS when it started up.
