Noooooo....that's not a hand out, that's extra space in their salary cap. a hand out is when someone gives you money; extra space in the salary cap is how you spend money that you raise yourself.
Not all that tricky I wouldn't have thought.
Pay attention in comprehension class in future.
It's still a major advantage. About $1 million extra in the salary cap is obviously a huge bonus.
Regardless of whether it's a literal 'handout' or not doesn't matter, it's something they get that they rest of us don't.
That may well be true,
but if the then VFL didn't buy the license back off the good doctor and take over the management themselves, Sydney would be all but history now.

It's win, win. You get practice, we get 4 points.
You aren't allowed to say that if you lost a GF to them because it is only sour grapes.
Fact is it is a massive and cumulative advantage in an otherwise heavily regulated player market.

It would be if we received anywhere near that amount. Unfortunately we don't.
Also...If it is such a massive advantage (In other words....if we don't actually need to pay players more for them to fork out massive amounts of money to live in Sydney) then why do we not have a list better than any other team in the competition?
As it stands there are probably 5 or 6 clubs with a better list.
NimChief: Sydney would be too without the handouts

In the lead-up to their game against the Kangaroos, it was again suggested that the AFL has bankrolled the Swans' success in the interests of validating a truly national competition. The fresh contention has drawn a strong response from Swans chairman Richard Colless.
"Well, it is the greatest myth in Australian sport," Colless said.
"The idea that the Swans have got this magic ride and it is all thanks to the AFL.
"Yes, the vast majority think we have NSW as a zone.
"Yes, the vast majority think we get financial injections from the AFL.
"It is insulting beyond belief."
The Swans last received financial assistance from the league from 1993 to 1998.
They have a cost-of-living allowance, which is self-funded, that enables their salary cap to be of equal value in their market to clubs operating in less-expensive environments.

$1 million extra
Where did you get that figure from?
Think that it is more like $300 000

I don't think the AFL want to say that simply as it would piss fans off and may even push them away. Its best to do it this way behind closed doors.
Actually really looking forward to it all happening. Finally the game will be national

It simply is the words. The Sydney Swans are called the Sydney Swans not South Melbourne anymore. Just like the Knagaroos will be the Gold Coast Kagaroos. The Western Bulldogs will be the Western Sydney Bulldogs. Call them by there name. Simple as that
Well then perhaps you can tell me how many Premierships the Sydney Swans have won. How many Brownlow medalists do they have?
Well until that occurs we are still The North Melbourne Football Club and they are still the Western Bulldogs.

The game of Aussie Rules is already national.

Whatever it is it is a must. Living in Sydney is more expensive then living elsewhere. That means that a team playing in that city should be allowed to pay there players more to allow them to live there.

With 1 game every second week in the biggest city on Australia? Thats truely national
Sydney should have 3 teams
See your mixing up AFL and aussie rules football again. Thats not suprising giving that your from NSW.
You do now that its more expensive to live in Melbourne than it does in Adelaide. So should Melbourne clubs have a bigger salary cap than the Power and the Crows?

So can you do some research and tell me how many Premierships the Sydney Swans have won and Brownlow medalists they have?
The NRL is vertually NSWQRL+NZ and Melb. now to me, National means the whole country is represented. The NRL should expand to SA, NT and WA before the AFL begins expanding the league into 1 more territory - the NT. Tasmania is far too small to accomodate an AFL side, as is the ACT IMO
Who for? The interstate clubs?
