The Rebels to their credit have far exceeded the Storm in terms of producing Victorian developed talent. Looking at the rosters for this season SR Au it went in terms of where players came from NSW, Qld, WA, Vic and then ACT. While the Storm have managed just 2 in 22 years the Rebs would have seen between 10-12 Victorians in their squad since inception.
Mate, they've been playing AFL in schools in the greater Sydney region for the better part of 30 years. It's only a revelation to the likes of Papworth due to him noticing it for the first time during one of the brief period where he pulls his head out of his own arse in order to pop up in the media to spew his usual bullshit before disappearing back up it for another spell.
I went to school there 60 years ago. And yes, you could play AFL. But hardly anyone did. Posts for missing a goal were like hens teeth. Anyone who wants to argue nothing has changed either doesn't know what they are talking about or just wants to argue.

Things certainly have changed. Most schools both primary and secondary no longer compete in weekly schools sport. Really only in the private system is that tradition maintained. Which is actually quite sad. The only state funded schools that have regular competitions that I'm aware of are the Sports Schools. What interschool sport there is these days tends to come in the form of Gala Days held once may be twice a semester.
The local AFL club competition out this way is still pretty much where it was 20 years ago. By that I mean the West/South West of the city. What the likes of the Swans have managed to do is capture a certain section of the Sydney demographic.
