AFL boss Gillon McLachlan says Greater Western Sydney will keep its Riverina zone this year.
 
The Giants have priority draft access to players from sections of New South Wales while developing those players through their academy.
 
Rival clubs are particularly concerned that GWS has control over the Riverina region.
 
GWS selected Jacob Hopper (No. 7), Matthew Kennedy (No. 13), Harrison Himmelberg (No. 16) and Matthew Flynn (No. 41) in the 2015 NAB AFL Draft. None has made their debut and all were from the Riverina region.
 
The club can draft players from its academy at a 20 per cent discount.
 
McLachlan said the rules were always open for change.
 
"Things always have the potential to be reviewed," McLachlan told ABC Radio on Friday morning.
 
"The Riverina zone for the Giants is not being reviewed this year.
 
"There is not anything new going on at our place this week as opposed to last week."
 
He said the club would not always bring in a large haul of players.
 
"Some years they have clusters or big groups coming through," he said. "I think everyone needs to not panic and understand that we're getting talent out of zones we haven't had before.

"The thing's got a head of steam up this week that I think is just a bit emotive."
