Grundy, Aish and Scharenberg, one-seventh of the 2020 All-Australian team.
I'd say it's just a cyclical coincidental aberration.
That being said, I admit this state has little going for it. To an extent, the jibes about being a handout state are true. Something stinks around here - I think it's wonderfully pleasant to live here, but SA never seems to get momentum for anything.

Never quite understand these type of comments. What should we have here in SA that we don't?
Aside from a few bits of unique geography and landmarks, I really feel like the five major state capitals are just different sized versions of each other these days.
I think we need to slowly build up those industries of the future that the pollies keep talking about. The closure of the car industry and associated businesses will land a punch in the nuts to an economy that's already the worst in Australia. Reducing unemployment in SA is a long-term project, and a few hundred billion dollars from that nuclear dump and more affordable electricity wouldn't go astray.
Getting back to footy, you'll note that there are almost no South Australians in the national cricket sides. The Redbacks have been the worst Shield side for 20 years. Perhaps the SA sporting culture has some sort of problem. But the more likely explanation is the less dramatic one: it's just a statistical cyclical coincidence.

Not that I disagree with you, but Nathan van Berlo was also a captain once. Captaincy doesn't always correlate with talent.
They are garbage at cricket as well.
Since you believe that, We'll take all those sh*t South Aussies players (Caleb Daniel etc) off your hands for you... Give you a 3rd round pick because we are nice...

Did the op really insinuate that Cooney was a star?

eh, it's been like that for a long time, since the state bank collapse at least.
it's still a pretty decent place to live.
Bahahahaha, that's a good one.
Well.....when the bloody power goes out.....
Some sort of allowance for the cost of living also would help.

Surely they'll find a way to blame Victoria and muh VFL.
