What ever happened to loyalty , playing for the jumper ?
Clubs to be used once again to prop up ailing or fledging AFL draft players
The Port Adelaide saga has been a farce, the comp wont be the same without this club as we used to know it
Gone are the years when supporters looked forward to what SANFL junior at the club would make a pre season impact
The AFL has these days more or less ruined this once magnificent comp
Guys like Centurion tried their best to save the comp

The eagles are good at making kids standout but the amount that are never heard from again is abnormally high i would think.
The facts, taken from AFL drafts between 1996 and 2005, are these:
29% of top 10 selections play 50 games or fewer; only 51% reach 100 games.
55% of those picked after selection No.10 play 50 games or fewer.
44% of those picked after selection No.10 play 25 games or fewer.
16% of those picked after selection No.10 never get to take the field at all.

Interesting that you give 6 of the Eagles recruits a pass mark - 6 is the total number of Central juniors drafted in both the main and rookie drafts in the past 6 years. But yet we won 3 flags, go figure
In the same time the Eagles have had 21 players drafted (17) or rookie listed (4).
No doubt you'll be able to find some spin to discredit all of this but these are the raw numbers.
Sorry i didnt realize SANFL clubs are in existence to supply AFL clubs with players, thats where we have been going wrong, while we were winning 9 flags the rest of you were developing players for the AFL.
BTW I think you find the stats on the total number of drafted players who don't make 100 games to be quite alarming. If WWT have 30%-40% of draftees making 100 games then they are way ahead of the average.
Here is a stat from a couple of years ago:The facts, taken from AFL drafts between 1996 and 2005, are these:
29% of top 10 selections play 50 games or fewer; only 51% reach 100 games.
55% of those picked after selection No.10 play 50 games or fewer.
