Can someone explain the F/S being able to play for our SANFL side in their draft year to me. As I understand it's as long as they haven't played in the league side prior to the draft year?
For a player like Welsh that we would basically guarantee drafting why would we not tell him to refuse to play for the SANFL side so he can have a years development in the SANFL?
Or have I got the rules around this completely wrong?

Adelaide and Port Adelaide would have access to Father-Son prospects in their 18th year, for a full season to play in their SANFL team – if they haven’t already played League with their SANFL club. In this instance, the AFL club would pay the player’s SANFL club a $5000 transfer fee.
... don't think it's been changed
why would we not tell him to refuse to play for the SANFL side
Not sure we'd be game to go there
