So SA & WA are the only states pulling their weight i.e providing more players to the pool than they take out with Tas & NT stumping up the overall numbers.
Surprised Q has less listed players then NSW.

Are you suggesting the AFL better fund junior footy in Vic than elsewhere?

I am suggesting the TAC cup which some people would not even say is junior football is well funded, well coached and resourced, all we have to do is compare what a well funded, well coached and resourced GWS academy has been able to do in a couple of years that no one was able to do for about 15 and that is ready players from its area to be drafted.
Canberra also Logan Austin at Port and Jason Tutt at Carlton from memory.
You could also throw in Phil Davis who learned to play juniors there before moving to Adelaide

Can anyone update this list? Would be interesting to see if the percentages have changed especially in NSW and Queensland.

So you're suggesting that half the Grand Finals should be played out of Victoria? Seems fair to me, I'm on board.

It's still the vfl until the other states begin to make more proportional contributions. The players also reflect the fanbase, a Grand Final in a state like NSW (with no afl base) would be robbery

Proportionally though, NSW would deserve a GF more than the zero times they're scheduled to have it at the moment, no? They contribute more than a zero percent proportion.

Vic the most players by far, but NT has the most by population ratio.
