COLLINGWOOD president Eddie McGuire wants Greater Western Sydney's substantial recruiting zones shut down, but Sydney Swans coach John Longmire believes the amount of AFL players coming out of the northern states is good for the game.

In the wake of the Giants' 75-point smashing of Hawthorn on Saturday, McGuire used his radio show on Triple M on Monday to plead with the AFL to put a cap on the amount of young talent available to GWS through its academy system, and in particular the talent-rich Riverina region.

All four of the Giants' NAB AFL draft picks in November came from their own academy, and all four hailed from the Riverina area, with Jacob Hopper (pick seven) from Leeton, Matt Kennedy (13) from Collingullie, Harrison Himmelberg (16) from Mangoplah and Matthew Flynn (41) from Narrandera all joining the club.

While Longmire wasn't keen to insert himself into the conversation specifically involving the Giants, he did have a view on the level of talent entering the AFL from New South Wales and Queensland.

"Where I stand on it is I worry about the Swans," Longmire said.

"I honestly do, it's hard enough worrying about your own club let alone being completely focused on someone else's.

"What I will say in a general sense, though, is that it's a great problem to have, to have talent coming out of the northern states.

"If that's our biggest problem in the game I don't think it's too bad."
