Serious answer, why don't you just say what you think.....
I count that as 22, WCP, not everyone who follows football know every answer, us Southies know all about our beloved Panthers, never be afraid to let them know you know more about footy as they do just because the happen to follow winning teams.
South have done nothing that all other successful clubs have done over the years, if you have not the talent in your own backyard, go and get it from other areas that have the talent but cant crack it into the big time. What we are doing better at since Ronnie has been here is to get out amongst the zone and sell the benefits of putting in the hard work and getting the rewards, not just think the $$$$ are better here or there and finish up another football nobody, and there are thousands of them around.
FWIW I've done the same exercise for Norwood's winning team vs Sturt, because I was interested in the answering the same questions:
a) came from other SANFL Clubs (and who?) 3 - Jericho, Bode, Clarke
b) are listed with the Crows/Power (and who?) 0
c) are recruits from interstate (and who?) 7 - Campbell, Terlich, Rowe, Suckling, Zorzi, McGuinness, Davis
d) are a product of the club's junior development program / Zoned Football Leagues? (and who?) - 10 - Dawe, Shenton, Brown, Pfeiffer, Georgiou, Fuller, Bown, Webber, Reinbrecht, Allen
e) are from some other category not named above (and who?) 1 - Eagleton - WB/West Adelaide - could be category (a) or (c) above, but put him here for simplicity.
FWIW our 22nd player named was Jefferies - a product of the junior system.
