The concept of growing the game a bit tough to comprehend?
One club has been in Sydney since the early 80s, just won a flag, and has appeared in several grand finals. If you as That alone should be cause to can their COLA. It did it for Brisbane who were 6 years younger. The Swans should have lost it in 2004 when the Lions did. New teams I can kind of understand, but after 30 years perhaps its time to stand on their own feet.
The stated reason for Sydeny not being able to trade is that the AFL said they need to get down to non COLA levels in 2017.
Nothing about growing the game etc. If they want to enforce the rule as they have stated they need to apply it to all teams it applies to or not at all, otherwise it is the very definition of restraint of trade
