I think a problem with a lot of Old Boys clubs is the "closed shop" mentality.
If a quality person wants to play for your club, for the endeavour of on-field success and mateship, for all Xavs could care, 22 of them could be from elsewhere.
The key is attracting quality people with the talent and desire to play for your club, outside the "Old Boys" network that contributes greatly to the best VAFA sides.
While there are rumours of payments etc, their record speaks for itself and as they say, success breeds success, the more they win, the greater their bargaining power to get good players.
