AFL don't seem to have gotten much traction in Bankstown since they shut them down ... St George are flush with young players coming through, due primarily to their own efforts, but the AFL will claim it, I'm sure
. Fairly hollow victory to claim though as 2016 and 2017 we see them reap what they had sown ... the last batch of Bankstown juniors are now seniors, and rather than filling the South West Magpies u/19's teams, the cupboard is bare! ... the second year that they have had to amalgamate ... well done to them, and great for those young guys right across that whole competition, but just another black eye for the AFL's lack of vision, and lack of flexibility!
... and maybe if the Giants were spending less time in the Riverina, and actually concentrating on GREATER WESTERN SYDNEY, that would have an effect too ...
