I'm not seeing the evidence you do know enough in your posting, and have a natural inclination to skepticism when someone tells me how wonderfully knowleable they are. Strong contra indicator in my life experience
Microcriticise to your hearts content. My comments stand, and I know am far from alone in this thinking.
How many of those players came from Western Sydney? Or even the rest of Sydney? Or anywhere in NSW outside the Murray/Riverina/Broken Hill areas.
The notion that Western Sydney was NOT an AFL waste land prior to the GWS Academy is a complete and utter fallacy.
It's an AFL academy the same as any other AFL academy in the country.
There is nothing intrinsically special or different about the GWS or any other club being attached to them. Certainly nothing that allows for the free handouts the NSW and Qld clubs get from them.
