Think it should only be granted to players on under 150k a year though.

There are other approaches that are fair. A fixed component (rental allowance) and a % component (cost of living) like I received when working OS for 4 years. An allowance for moving home would also be worth considering, especially for families.
Paid by the AFL over and above the normal contract arrangements.
Edit: before I saw your post liz

Why? From memory Dawson highlighted cost of living as one of the factors to move back home. He wouldn't be on aa small wage

 

[SM]

Players who earned under the median (I think) wage already get an extra allowance, paid by the AFL and outside the cap, as recognition of the much higher housing costs in Sydney. I don't know how many in the media know this. Or once knew but forget. It's not exactly a secret.

I think the Swans and Giants are most vocal about wanting a cost of living allowance for the soft cap, pointing to how hard it is to attract quality coaches and other support staff to NSW anyway, even before allowing for how much more expensive it is. There was an article recently about how spartanly some of our coaches live. Ben Mathews, IIRC correctly, lives alone in a basic one bedroom apartment while his family remain down in Melbourne because it's more economic for them.

Yeah much more necessary for the soft cap, agreed.

$12million over 10 years for Nuaghton?

Dodged a bullet

 

[Ed_Gein]

Gee it would've been good if Heeney was 4+ years younger. Imagine 8+ years of Warner/Gulden/Heeney.

Maybe he’ll play until he’s 40.

He's having a massive year, and he's an incredible player. What dodge?

I’d be happy with an initial relocation allowance in the cap

Matthew Lloyd: Essendon 2000 side 'far superior' to current Sydney side - 3AW Wide World of Sports

How does the current Swans outfit compare to Essendon's star-studded team in 2000?

omny.fm

They click baited the discussion to make it seem like Lloyd was referring to the gap between us and 2000 Essendon, when he doesn't say that at all.

You don't think Naughton has been one of the Dogs' better players?

You don't want any CoLA?

And you have to pay it back if you leave for your home state.

That's good

Nasty but good.

On the Couch

Discussion about the players talking to each other and asking how they are going. Awesome to hear the players talk to each other and be honest about how they feel with their game.



At the end of the clip there is mention by Dawson wanting to learn from the likes of Heneey and Warner.
