Good work Porthos.
I understand that vic is providing slightly less than 50% in recent drafts, indicating a further shift (or expansion) of player location.
Those figures should be the blue-print for team distribution. Basically another team in SA, and 3 less in Victoria. 14 team comp.

I dont think playing for a minor league like the NRL means much. How many QLd'ers play soccer ?

Soccer is the most popular football coe played by juniors in Qld.The QLD Lions have the most profitable Licenced Club in QLD.
Interesting stats Porthos and bloody well done.
Based on those numbers a Vic and a NSW club have about as much to draw on as each other. 8.2 squads to make up 10 teams means v .8 to make up 1 team. A Vic club can locally source 82% of its squad on average and a NSW team can locally source 80%. Brisbane is at 100% if you include NT. At half of NT that rates Brisbane at 80%.
No wonder they don't need success push marketing, I mean, relocation allowance.

Here is the Bulldog's breakdown counting all palyers on their senior list for 2005.
Victoria: 17 (R Murphy/Grant/Smith/Johnson/West/Gilbee/Giansiracusa/Power/
Boyd/Robbins/Birss/Wight/McGuinness/B Murphy/McCormack/
Walsh/Morgan)
SA 10 (Eagleton/Darcy/Cooney/Faulkner/McMahon/Minson/Harris/
Thompson/Griffen/Tiller)
WA 4 (Bandy/Ray/Hargrave/Skipper)
QLD 2 (Hahn/Williams
NT 2 (Koops/Bowden)
Tas 4 (Rawlings/Street/Harrison/Wells)
NSW 1 (Cross)
Victoria 17 out of 40 = 42.5%
S.A. 10 out of 40 = 25%
W.A. 4 out of 40 = 10%
QLD 2 out of 40 = 5%
N.T. 2 out of 40 = 5%
Tas 4 out of 40 = 10%
NSW 1 out of 40 = 2.5%
Home state players: 17 out of 40 = 42.5%
Non home state players: 23 out of 40 = 57.5%
It would be interesting to get these figures from each club to see the make up of lists.

Porthos did this in 2004, would be grateful if somebody could post an updated one for 2006, or post a link to a Database with every AFL Player and where they were drafted fromPorthos said:

Nice stats.
Conclusions:
Vic should only have 8, (9 max) teams.
SA could have another team.
If the Lions were allowd QLD and NT as a "zone", then they would be self suffient in players.
Similarly, Swans are very near self sufficient.
I suspect the QLD numbers will substantially go up after the next draft.

I thought so. There are at least 2 irish players now anyway.
I thought I head that Vic dropped to 45% of players, but that may have been at draft time which will take a while to filter through to squads.
Porthos said:
Well that's just proven that 2 Vic. Clubs have to go, SA is holding up a full extra squad and WA is also contributing extra. NSW is almost holding its' own as is Queensland. The odd one out is Victoria. Point proven
Incidentally the Irish figure must be incorrect as there is Kennelly and Sultana Hairpin.
grayham said:
However, long term population outlooks predicate that the numbers will change per state. Its unlikely that SA would continue to produce that same share, while WA and Qld are likely to have an increase in the percentage. Long term, if either WA or SA was to have a third team, WA would be the more logical state. That said, I don't think a third WA team would be feasible for much the same reasons 10 Vic teams aren't.
Yeah hopefully in two years time there will be Kenally, O'hAilpin X2, Begley and Martin Clarke all from Ireland.

It's going to be tough - each of them has a 1-in-5.9 million chance of playing AFL (based on Porthos' figures/population).
Good luck to them.
grayham said:
This is exactly why people in SA and WA that are pushing for a third team need their heads read. Per capita SA/WA are stronger football states and with 2 teams in each state this further enhanced. Conversly, with 10 teams in Victoria, per capita and team wise they are weakened. This gives the SA and WA teams a competitive advantage.
Any Crows, Eagles, Port or Freo supporter calling for a new team in their respective state is a total minda. Perceptions that this would reduce the Vic centric power base is moronic. By having another team in either Sa or WA would in fact reduce your own teams power base.

That might be true from a marketing and sponsorship perspective, but it has little to do with the number of players. Remember - there is no zoning anymore! As a young undrafted footballer in WA or SA, you are much more likely to end up in Victoria than your home state.
The only real competitive advanatge is that the SA and WA clubs get better "local knowledge" about draft picks.

Some more mindless torturing of defenceless numbers:
If a squad has 11 games in its own state, this is how many games should be played in each state based on the figures:
Vic 90.2
SA 33
WA 28.6
NSW/ACT 8.8
QLD 6.6
TAS 5.5
NT 4.4
Ireland 0

Based on those 2004 figures, you could argue Vic could support 9 squads. Simply because most Tassie players would want to play in Melbourne so can be combined with Vic's total.
Although its all a bit meaningless. Player aquisition via the draft doesnt give two hoots where the players come from.
Corporate sponsorship doesnt really care where the teams come from either as most are national brands, although it would slant towards Sydney.
Fan base is probably a better measure. Put the teams where the fans are, or will be.

Thanks PorthosPorthos said:
Where did you get the info from?
Edit: also how can Vic represent over 1/2 the teams when it has less than 1/2 the players?
