VIC Vs. SA
Reality is that population has a great deal to do with it. Vic have 4 times the kids to choose from and always have. It has been the same for 20 odd years.
Our best is as good as theirs but what happens is that our top teams and kids are not pushed often enough. If you get 2 hard games in 9 complacency etc creeps in - no matter how hard you train or the amount of extra practice you do.
Competitive games week in week out foster the hard nosed nature of the game over the border. Until our kids are exposed to that - sure they will win the odd big game, but they come undone most times.
