Franklin rumoured to have received an offer from the Swans that trumps the Giants.
I don't know what to say...
The Swans have a rockstars salary cap me thinks.

Yeah 720am confirmed it.

I reckon they are mad, he is not worth the money, not sure how it would work Tippett and Franklin, Reid, White all getting crowded.

sydney could not possibly afford him.

no conceivable way unless they pay every other player nothing.

1.7 Mill apparently - I would of thought the same.

Boulton Mattner Morton delisted would not save them much...

They will off-load White and Mumford plus there retirements plus the 9% or so free handout they get from the AFL for the bullshit cost of living in Sydney allowance.

Sydney fast becoming the most hated AFL club in Australia,all clubs will be unhappy if this comes true based on this cost of living BS,i thought we lived in the most expensive capital in Australia??Thats what i'm constantly reading in the press!

Yeah , White will have to go surely maybe reid as well, maybe mummy, GWS get the same allowance...and they get more cash from the AFL don't they.

Either way $7 Mill all up ,, the bloke is not worth it,

Perth sure is expensive...

this sydney salary concession of an extra $900,000 a year or whatever it is has got to stop. if Franklin goes there after they snared Tippet from Adelaide as well just defies belief.

the swans do not need extra space in their cap. they argue cost of living expenses, they never mention the fact they use it to scoop the pool.

Lockett.
Hall.
Tippet.
Franklin

Wouldnt a club like maybe Melbourne like to have been given the chance of snaring just one of these players. the imbalance will never allow it to happen. the swans are getting a huge leg-up with this salary cap advantage, if this doesnt confirm it, i dont know what would.

Good on Swans for trying to get him.. why wouldnt you if you can? It's good business..

Next year it will be Ablett to the Swans.

agree terror...if they can then why wouldn't they? but that's the point...Swans get an extra 10% on top of their salary cap for cost of living but Perth is just as expensive if not more so...time to take away that advantage imo...
