Since when did anyone listen to Jeff Kennett?

there reviewing it, not really investigating big difference

[Mailman the 2nd]

Actually there isn't that much of a difference between the two verbs :P

For example,

"A detective investigates" and "A detective reviews" can almost be used interchangeably

Not that its the point lol

[kilbluff1985]

Don't agree but oh well.

will be interesting. The Swans and GWS have both done their figures and the Swans asked for 15 but they worked out about 13.8 was required from memory and the AFL gave 9.8

why do you guys get the extra room? I seriously think it should be an even spread for all 18 clubs (maybe a bit extra for GC and GWS for next few years but then after that should be all the same)

rent and house prices are more expensive in Sydney

Living is just more expensive in Sydney so they get an increase that is meant to cover for that.

It's not enough to get any player alone by any means and most of Sydney's players that come don't come for the money and aren't usually considered high-paid stars.

Out with Aussie spirit, in with common sense

Dont hold me on the math but from what i hear  if the extra allowance is spread over evenly over the whole playing group (which it should be if its a legitimate allowance) its about $14k per player per annum then theres no problem, but if its just extra money in the salary cap then it equals about $500k which as we can all work out for ourselves is another very handy player ;)

So im assuming the review is (or at least should be) where the $coin$ is being distributed..

[Capper]

alot of the players at the swans would be on alot more money if they went elsewhere.

I know they have all said that they would rather all stay together and take a pay cut to do so. Getting Tippett in changes that

And the point is that Swans players should get the same relative level of pay as other states. It's like the Year 12 VCE, if you do a language, your score is bumped up due to the difficulty of it compared to the other subjects (Eg. I did Latin and got a raw score of like 25-28 or something, I forget. But it got bumped up to 43)

500k might get you a handy player for half a year :P
