Can't see how the SWB and the salary cap problems of rugby have anything to do with AFL. There is no other viable alternative for AFL players to pursue unlike Rugby and Overseas offers.
That's actually an arguement against the AFL. In League they could say that the salary cap isn't a restraint because the players can get good money overseas or in rugby union. The AFL doesn't have that defence.Can't see how the SWB and the salary cap problems of rugby have anything to do with AFL.

If the AFLPA chose to go after the removal of the cap (assuming Money Bill wins) it would be based around the top end of players being able to make say $1.2M a year in an 'open' market instead of $700k with a cap in place.
It would turn the AFL into an EPL style comp where a club needs a rich benefactor (Abramovich for Chelsea or a Pratt for Carlton) and they could plunder the lesser clubs for talent and load up.
Yes it would suck for Hawthorn, because your club is poor hence you have to sell games to Tassie. Would be good for Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood so I hope it happens. Let's see, we can offer Frankli n3 mill a year, can you match that?
A handfull of NRL clubs, 5 or 6 maybe, decide they can't survive in the new environment and merge or fold - the others and the newly merged entities go to war with each other with high profile backers to sign the best available players - players wages sky rocket to levels higher than during Super League (remember the problems BIG $'s caused back then)
What would happen to the AFL? Would players start thinking about playing league?? unlikely as it's a very different skill set - would kids/parents start thinking about their kids playing league where the BIG money is??? Has to be a possibility doesn't it? Joe is a champion athlete, could play any sport he wanted to - why would he pay AFL where he wages are capped???
