I'm afraid that analogy has no bearing on reality... Kalkee have a population of 0 as far as I know (it is a place 17km outside of Horsham that consists of a football oval and a car race track) and yet they have won the last 5 premierships and this season have recruited even more good players.

Every season sees tens of thousands of dollars thrown around (by each club!) in an effort to attract footballers. If you think country footy only involves a bunch of guys from one local town rocking up on a Saturday to play a neighbouring town, think again.
