So I'd say that yes it is incredibly expensive. I imagine rents would be quite a significant percentage higher too than most other cities.

I agree that Sydney is very expensive for the average Joe, but professional footballers don’t have that concern. In fact they’re in a much better position to buy property and make money through their investment.

Agree but maybe there should be more assistance for both Swans / Giants from AFL in the next CBA with an increase in living allowances for the rookie listed players, especially Cat.B

It is relative though

If you could save on the cost of living it’s as good as a pay rise

It is definitely a factor. Add in that Adelaide, melb Perth also offer more revenue streams such as sponsorships or paid advertising than the Sydney market and the overall loss adds up

 

[Giant Strides]

As Danny88 said, in pure/real terms, they are not poor. But it's relative. Working elsewhere than Sydney gets them two benefits (1) cheaper cost of living & (2) access to third party deals and post-career work. So it's harder to attract them to play for the club.

On Pez, Sam Edmund just said 6 x $900000 plus, with a possible option for a 7th.

apparently he just needs to play a combined 10 games over years 5 and 6 to trigger the 7th in his favour.

A Godfather offer, for sure.

We’ll get him back in 2 years with the lies paying 75% of his salary

Reporters were saying that Peatling will either announce if he is going or staying either yesterday or today. Assuming that this is true, it seems like we'll find out at some point today and given it wasn't announced at the BnF I reckon it's not good news.

That'd be great

Watching him at the BNF, I got the impression he was staying.

If the interest in Stringer is actually lukewarm I'd be disappointed.

Cadman is coming along well (better than I expected, probably thanks to no longer having Riccardi in the same team).

Riccardi is 3rd fiddle tall forward. Doubt that he'll get a game in the firsts unless either Cadman or Hogan are injured.

Where will Stringer fit in the lineup?

He's not the player we need at the moment.

 

[Orange Agent]

It’s quite bizarre. Is Sydney that bad/expensive a place to live? Most of us seem to manage on about 1/4 of the average AFL player salary.

Crowd numbers and lack of atmosphere would be a big factor for most. Some players would be opposite and prefer the different lifestyle but I think if all were honest they would prefer to have better crowds to play in front of.

Trade Radio: Peatling off to the crows.

[Callums_Guns]

Was talking too much to Crippa and majority of the night with the assistants or younger players rather than with the main group

 

[captainMyCaptain]

Perhaps someone we could look at

 

[Joshawk23]

Losing Peatling is the biggest miss, a good young mid, when we need to keep young mids

 

[Callums_Guns]

Didn’t the Crows not trade Himmelberg last season to us despite him wanting to leave

Yep but unlike Peatling he was still contracted for another season. But we should hold out for the best possible deal.

 

[Giant Pete]

Leake set for a big offseason.

 

[Giant Pete]

Remember how the Crows acted with Hately?

 

[Callums_Guns]

The spare $$$ in the cap just keeps getting bigger and the departing players list isn’t finished

 

[PaythePerryman]

What can we get out of them in a trade. Pick 25 doesn't feel like enough
