Lachie Weller was not eligible at GC due to the fact that he hadn't lived on the GC for long enough despite spending 4+ years in the Suns academy. So it isn't exactly "unfair" if you don't get access to talent that you've only put 12 months into.Those were due to a rule change after-the-fact or straight-up fraud, not before the academies were up and running.
The players taken Cat B were often mature aged as well as freshly eligible, but none had darkened the door of their clubs.
