What can I say. You will probably feel the same way about Hinkley when he is finished at port.

Melbourne are my second team now, but I'm not looking forward to losing too them next year.

Geez you jump off quick but i think you might be right, Swans are definitely an ageing list with little talent coming through and will at best be in the top half of the bottom half of the ladder ;)

"Experts" have been writing off the swans for years. Missed finals once in the last decade. Try again?

Psssstt. Hawthorn's average age is higher. ;) Better get another premiership soon with all those junior stars you have coming through.

Do some research Booney. Perth isn't even close to Sydney in real estate dollars. Perth isn't even close to Darwin real estate.

The problem with Sydney is even the more affordable suburbs are still ridiculously expensive. At least Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne still have affordable housing.

Thats a choice, not a necessity.

Why cant Adelaide ask the AFL for a bigger cap coz Dangerfield wants a bigger house?

I would expect it to be a fair call that not too many AFL players live more than 20 minutes away from their clubs home base?

I think it's reasonable for a draftee to get a top up allowance for moving away from home or extra costs of living, but anyone on $200k+ really doesn't need help to make ends meet.

Yeah but how will that prop up a team that needs to keep winning to keep the fickle Sydney market from switching back to League, Soccer or Synchronised Swimming. Unless you barrack for Sydney, or are Andy Demetriou we all know the COLA is absolute crap.

Would be interested to know if any of you guys would be willing to move to Sydney for work, and receive no extra income for it.

Am I an 18 year old working part time and going to uni?

Am I an SANFL mature age player making $25k per year from footy and $70k from full time employment?
