It depends on what you think the goal of such a program should be. If you think it is strictly about AFL recruitment, then yes, it is a waste of many as many of the international players will never play in the AFL (although that statement is probably applies to many playing in division II).

If on the other hand this is about footy development, then there is a huge value to this minimal investment by the AFL. Biggest it lights up the "pathway" for potential international players and recruits. Local junior football programs like the one I run in Washington DC can point to the Americans playing for the World Team and say to the kids and parents: "Look at what footy can do. Sure you can't get a college scholarship playing footy, but you can get elite level coaching in Australia!"
