From memory they've missed finals twice this century and stand alone when it comes to their junior program repeatedly producing AFL talent, helps with Henley and St Micks in their zone but they still do an amazing job producing talent.
Hats off to their whole organisation, they set the bench mark on field far more often than any other club has in the post-AFL era.
I might be wrong but I think the catchment area of kids you'd expect might be going to St Michaels and Henley High was split up between Eagles, Glenelg and West following a redistribution of boundaries a few years ago?
We've definitely done well from these schools in years gone by but schools like Sacred Heart, Rostrevor and PAC surely would have all been just as good to Glenelg, Norwood and Sturt over the years
