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...

GWS get it was well, and dont Gold Coast and Brisbane get extra?

I notice that both the local AFLers despite red hot goes are now finding it very difficult to lure big names across here.

remember the days of Modra et al..all gone.

yep...good point on getting big names across...it seems these days we only get west aussies coming back home...nothing wrong with that..in fact I think it's great but it would also be nice to get a couple of big recruits as well. perhaps the free agency regime might change that....

havent they tried a couple under free agency?

Cloke, Reiwolt and Franklin, his name was thrown around for freo as well,

and he's WA - must be something else going on..The Eagles were once regarded as great recruiters.

That cost of living allowance in Sydney is a fucking joke and needs to be canned immediately. Perth IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE city in Australia, how the fuck can they justify it?
Not that we can blame the Sydney Swans for utilising it. Any and every team would.

If Buddy goes to GWS so be it can't blame him really.

If he goes to Sydney however he can lick my balls.

sounds like he will be doing some licking then.

Obviously a done deal then. Fark me what a joke of a competition it is.

There goes their no dickhead policy.

I am sure that if both WA clubs had the $900,000 granted to Sydney, Neeshies, Lions, and Suns, then they would be throwing it around like man with no arms.As Sydney are right now.
It is a total farce in regards as to why they get.It costing more to live in WA right now than in Sydney or Queensland.
I bet Eddies head is ready to explode.His Blood pressure would be screaming about now.

Like Ballas head anchor, when he reviews the tape from the GF…?

I am gobsmacked about the amount of money and the alleged 9 year contract. Also wondering whether Sydney has lost its admirable culture of "team is bigger than individual" in the last few years following on from their recruitment of Tippett last year?
