This combined with Andreww1's numbers are evidence, that we don't compete for players in Sydney. Players will play for their local / preferred club or not play at all. We all need to understand this, as well as those at Sydney AFL HQ, thinking we fight over players is wasted in energy in growing the game.
This also applies in Senior Grades - UTS and UNSW/ES both had a team of surplus players - but none of them went to play for Moorebank, or Balmain in Div 5 - who were short of players.
