I am also saying that this probably wouldn't happen but it would certainly be interesting to see if it could.

A great idea, if you could flesh it out, and put it in writing, I would suggest passing it on to BASA - ensuring you receive the appropriate recognition of course.

Under 10 and Under 12 would really be the current teams, and perhaps a bit superflous to the idea. If NBL / Overseas players are eleigible, you would want to have some sort of restriction on that. Imagine Sturt basically putting the current 36ers team into light blue singlets and calling it their senior mens team (no disrepesct intended towards Sturt players coaches etc)

Ninnis, Maher, Davis and Wheeler are all originally from South, I think. So Sturt would be good but South would be strong.

Yeah I know all these players originated from other clubs, and certainly know about the Tigers history.

My point was not so much meant to be club releated, but more the point that there would have to be restrictions on how many NBL / International players each club could field.

Why would there have to be restrictions?

I'm not aware of any in Australian Rules State of Origin competitions (for example).

Ok...the reason being...how many NBL / International players have say...Woodville, Centrals, eastern produced, when compared to Sturt, Tigers, Forestville even??

I was suggesting you want to have restrictions to keep the competition a bit more even and fair.

Who needs restrictions?? This is fantasy! It's amazing how many superstar players actually changed clubs once in their juniors!

sturt, forestville and noarlunga have been going for a very long time under various guises. sturt had their first international player, john heard, rome olympics in 1960 the first year they entered district as uniting church. forestville used to be west torrens both changed their names with the 'district' name rule came in. And noarlunga used to be glenelg and before that catholic youth. all 3 teams have had like south and north single stadium occupancies since the 1970's.

centrals made the district the comp in 1981 and have moved from parafield gardens to elizabeth then to gawler. woodville 1982, year after centrals have been in st clair, athol park (shared with west then adelaide) now the powerhouse.
eastern joined in the early 90s and have played out of mt barker but have history with murray bridge and and early eastern hills.

don't forget the teams such as vytis and ASK that provided players such as algis ignativicus (spelling), mike dancis and andris blicavs.

norwood and west have also contributed national league and international players

interesting concept but hard to achieve i'd imagine

centrals i can't think of a junior who has played nbl or wnbl (sorry if i've missed one) but they certainly have had players on their roster who have played nbl.

woodville - tim brenton 36ers/hobart, paul 'reggie' vandenberg canberra, darren ng 36ers. (darren actually played his first year/s with adelaide)

eastern have holmes but its early hours of the morning i think he came from sturt i'm sure i'll be corrected if i am wrong.

after a long post - i was trying to make a reply to yogee an others that some teams are very young in comparison with others

We are looking at current players that are playing. Not history.

I like the concept but to put it together would prove difficult. Perhaps somebody should start a list of who would be eligible for which club. Post it and see who disagrees....where did vikki kelson start - she played at centrals and was on Lightning roster and won 3 Halls medals playing with Adel Sthn Suns. Lets get some team lists together first.

Brendon Mann started at Centrals and played NBL

Dan Clausen but he is from the USA

Ashley Trurman 83 sixer....is that still NBL was a Centrals boy


thats about it.

Phil & Dave Smyth started with South

thats got to hurt centrals 8 and south 4.

What about juniors?

re: Club of Origin Championships (#28814)
Anyone remember where Ottey started at?

Pretty sure he played mostly div 2s at Woodville.

At the risk of getting original clubs wrong here goes: Top 5 HSA for each club based on players original clubs. In theory a kind of All-Star 5.

Centrals: Jye Watson, Bronson Kies, Michael Zorich, Daniel Wilson, Jordan Kies.

Eastern: Brad Bungey, Joel Goodenough, Ben Madgen, Rohan Cropley, Brock Harrison.

Forestville: Jason Dix, Brad Davis, Jason Farman, Doug MacDonald-Taylor, Brad Newley.

North: Nick Hambour, Justin Wilkey, Paul Bell, Brad Sullivan, Luke Mapunda.

Norwood: Todd Gower, Keith Krause, Daniel Thompson, Nathan Hawkes, Scott Arnold.

South: Steven Pilkington, Andrew Webber, Luke Frost, Scott Thur, Damian Scanlon.

Southern: Brad Gerlach, Ben Trebilcock, Daniel Kosmider, Ben Hodges, Will Foster.

Sturt: Oscar Forman, Andrew Puddifoot, Adam Becis, David Bowley, Simon Kent.

West: Mark Nash, Daniel Phillips, Mike McKay, Jason Baylis, Shane Crothers.

Woodville: Paul Vandenbergh, Darren Ng, Cameron Wilson, Mark Fuller, Zane Reeves.

I apologise to those who I have gotten wrong; I'm sure there's bound to be some.

Doug is the best from Forestville!

Same conditions apply to the girls. As well as the belief I'm bound to get a few original clubs wrong.

Centrals: Vicki Kelson, Janelle Ridley, Lauren Mansfield, Amy Stace, Tracie Dawber.

Eastern: Cayla Francis, Erin Seward, Conor O'Brien, Amanda Williams, Siobhan O'Brien.

Forestville: Cherie Smith, Deanne Ranford, Sue Wells, Mia Newley, Rebecca Campbell.

North: Tania Dhu, Kristi Ollino, Belinda Tredwell, Jenni Screen, Rachel Keller.

Norwood: Elizabeth Keane, Melissa Marsh, Natalie Buck, Melissa Winfield, Karin Roberts.

South: Jo Robbertsen, Taya Crockford, Laura Hurley, Abby Williams, ??.

Southern: Tracey Braithwaite, Colleen Kaesler, Jenni Carberry, Narelle Lindsay, Sally Mostert.

Sturt: Laura Summerton, Simone Nelson, Monique Bowley, Brigid Bowley, Kylie Newbold. Probably would have Ang Marino in here with the miss boxscore from the Centrals game.

West: Kamala Lamshed, Marina Wood, Kylie Evans, Kerrin Truslove, Leah Mencel.

Woodville: Shannon Gates, Jodie Barratt, Irene Sourlatzis, Karen Winterm Shay Bayly.

And i would be very interested when it came to juniors who would be the strong club. Some good researching being done.

Holmes, Hill, Brogan, Cheesman and Mikan aren't currently playing in the Central ABL. They are all good players the last three being absolute legends. But as you might have noticed Ive only included active ABL players.

Something like this would also be great!
