The data some here think is illuminating tells us nothing new - who has the most talented juniors in this current era, the inner city clubs are full of southern staters - no revelations there. Can you regulate to force a talented person who lives in Hornsby, Paddington, Bondi or Newtown for example to go play for Camden? I reckon they'd just do something else mostly, so regulated "equalization" in the Sydney market probably needs to focus on ground up builds. To hear Tara tell about the South West is utterly depressing - that's a place that should have been a stronghold by now. To hear of academy/afl staff undermining club programs well that is just so short sighted as to be negligent.
