Seriously just f*** off with this stuff. Get out to local footy and get kids that actually love the game and grow up with it. I’ve watched an 18 year half forward / mid kick 47 goals in 12 senior games this season.
The local leagues has kids like this everywhere.
1000%
Get behind the junior leagues, country, regional' suburbian and VFL leagues
Fsrg off this corporate government kickback stuff and get serious

Difference is the AFL allows you to do "this stuff" without giving up a spot on your list.
Who gives two f****. Unearth a gun local footballer that didn’t get the opportunity for what ever reason to play TAC. The kid that didn’t go to a private school the kid that started work as a 15 year old.

Well if this 18yo half forward is as good as you claim him to be then he should get drafted by one of the 18 teams
It has been proven that Irish guys can make it in the AFL and play great footy as well so why should that talent pool be ignored?
The current Premiers have 2 Irish guys playing in their best 22 and who both played in a winning GF side .... go figure

What's to say all teams aren't looking at gun local footballers in suburban leagues?
That said plenty of gun footballers running around in the VFL that are no good at AFL level
