If I was to have a guess

North, West, Norwood, Port (until they became the reserves) and Glenelg over the duration all produced some pure AFL champions.
South, Woodville/West Torrens and Sturt are probably the next rung and then you have Centrals.

Geez bit rough on South they have been a feeder club for the AFL - particularly in recent years..JHF, Roberts, Draper x2, Spicer, B Cook

but before then Naley, Kappler, Griffen, Alwyn Davey, Doughty, Torney, Goodwin, Lade, Koster, Bickley, Smart, Caleb Daniel, B Lade

and the greatest duo of all but sadly under celebrated Chris Groom and Randall Bone.

Bruce Lindsay - technically part of Eagles in 1991.

And the Crows' first whipping boy - Darren Smith.

Or was Alan Bartlett first?

Clear underating of Centrals in this thread

Platten, Westhoff and Dew could carry 15 other spuds quite easily and win any game..

And Shane Tongerie provides the razzle dazzle
 
I'll give Sturt a crack:

B: Brenton Sanderson (Adel/Coll/Geel) --- Charlie Ballard (GCS) --- Jarrod Leinert (Port/St.K)
HB: Peter Motley (Carl) --- Jack Hombsch (GWS/Port/GCS) --- Martin Mattner (Adel/Syd)
C: Jordan Dawson (Syd/Adel) --- Todd Viney (Melb) --- Danyle Pearce (Port/Fre)
HF: Chad Wingard (Port/Haw) --- Sam Day (GCS) --- Scott Russell (Coll/Syd)
F: Corey Jones (NM) -- Rick Davies (Haw) --- Angus Monfries (Ess/Port)
Foll: Brodie Grundy (Coll) --- Tom Powell (NM) --- Jack Trengove (Melb/Port)
I/C: Matthew Janesch (Adel) --- James Begley (St.K/Adel) --- Matthew Dent (Fitz/WB/Haw) --- Shane McAdam (Adel)

Neil Craig would've been a lock if he decided to join the Dogs. Probably seems too soon to have Powell in on the ball but Sturt have struggled to produce out and out midfielders (the other option was George Horlin-Smith).
 
Norwood:

B: Martin Pike (Melb/Fitz/NM/Bris) --- Heath Grundy (Syd) --- Nathan Bassett (Adel)
HB: Scott Burns (Coll) --- Craig Kelly (Coll) --- Tom Harley (Port/Geel)
C: Andrew Jarman (Adel) --- Michael Taylor (Coll) --- Nic Fosdike (Syd)
HF: Orazio Fantasia (Ess/Port) --- Matthew Robran (Adel) --- Brett James (Coll/Adel)
F: Tony Francis (Coll/St.K) --- Phil Carman (Coll/Melb/Ess/NM) --- Paul Puopolo (Haw)
Foll: Matthew Primus (Fitz/Port) --- Roger James (Port) --- Jared Crouch (Syd)
I/C: Joel Patfull (Bris/GWS) --- Zac Bailey (Bris) --- Luke Brown (Adel) --- Rodney Maynard (Adel)

Very solid, especially with producing defenders. The bench is unbalanced with the amount of them but they lack depth in the middle.

Some like Primus (Geel), Patfull (Port) and Bassett (Melb) were on their lists but never played a game for them.

Not actually too bad, but they do lack depth, especially in the midfield.

South Adelaide:

B: Michael Doughty (Adel) --- Tom Highmore (St.K) --- Jason Torney (Rich/Adel)
HB: Caleb Daniel (WB) --- Nathan Kruger (Geel/Coll) --- Mark Bickley (Adel)
C: Darren Kappler (Fitz/Syd/Haw) --- Simon Goodwin (Adel) --- Nigel Smart (Adel)
HF: Kym Koster (Adel) --- Ryan Fitzgerald (Syd/Adel) --- Clay Sampson (Adel)
F: Matthew Rogers (Rich) --- Luke Darcy (WB) --- Alwyn Davey (Ess)
Foll: Brendon Lade (Port) --- Mark Naley (Carl) --- Ryan Griffen (WB/GWS)
I/C: Andrew Brockhurst (Fitz) --- Matthew Clarke (Rich/Bris/Adel/St.K) --- Tom Sparrow (Melb) --- Beau McCreery (Coll)

JHF and, hopefully, Cook will eventually make this side. HBFs and mids are solid but have severely lacked developing quality KPPs, especially defenders. Fitzy was wrecked by injury, and the only other options were Randall Bone and Chris Groom.
