The threat to the AFL is not from the A league, so it's inability to grow is irrelevant. It is from soccer itself. People think the talent is stretched thin now, what happens if the best junior's start dreaming of playing for Man U or Real Madrid, and not Eagles or pies?

Dreaming about playing for Real Madrid and actually doing it are two different things. Millions in other continents are dreaming of the same thing. Playing for the AFL club you grew up watching is much more realistic so overseas juggernauts from other sports poaching our youth to the point of bleeding the AFL dry is very unrealistic. Why get a leisurely Aussie when you can get a focused, disciplined kid from Asia or Europe?
