There are not many gun midfielders from SA, which might be part of the reason we can't get gun midfielders to come home, which might be part of the reason we don't have a gun midfield. It is actually pretty striking when you look at each team's top 4 midfielders how few are from SA

That is 72 players, of which 8 (11%) are from SA, including 3 currently at SA teams.
Why so few? Shouldn't the SANFL give pre-draft mids a development advantage? Also drives home the point that Gibbs and Neale opportunities don't come that often.
