Naitanui debut lives up to the hype

I agree WA is looking pretty good. But not sure we can say they lead the way. Out of the first 20 draftees Victoria provided 20, WA 5, SA 4. Which does tell us that there is a long way to go before the rest of the states (and world) catch up to the 3 powerhouses.

Lots of caveats on that of course. AFL clubs probably lean slightly more to locals, so more Victorian clubs favours slightly more Victorian draftees. And some NSW talent was accessed by the NSW scholarship scheme (but probably not more than 1 or 2 top 20's I'd guess).

If we extend to top 30, it's Vic 18, WA 6, SA 5, QLD 1.

In fact, if we look at just the 29 from Vic, WA and SA, then by population of those 3 states, if they produce 29 top draftees between them, we'd expect 17 from Vic, 7 from WA and 5 from SA. Pretty damn close to what eventuated - certainly within statistical error.
