SANFL cements premier state league status

I should also mention that while flyinghigh's point that most players in state leagues are not likely to play AFL is generally true, there certainly are exceptions. Firstly quite a few of the SA U18s boys drafted each year have already played some SANFL level - guys like Carlton's Bryce Gibbs had a full year there.

But also slightly older recruits do get drafted from the state leagues - for the SANFL players like Alwyn Davey (Darwin to South Adelaide to Essendon), Matthew Stokes (Darwin to Woodville-West Torrens to Geelong premiership) and Trent Hentschel (Darwin to Woodville-West Torrens to Adelaide). For the VFL, Aaron Edwards went from Frankston to North Melbourne.
