Brisbane's salary cap concessions were removed AFTER the three premierships.
Sydney's salary cap concessions are currently being phased out.
Gold Coast's salary cap concessions have been fully phased out.
GWS's salary cap concessions are slowly being phased out (2019 IIRC).

So, which of these teams will win the first premiership without salary cap concessions? A Swans premiership in 2015/16 would still have them winning the cup with concessions and the Giants aren't eligible until 2019. Can the Lions successfully rebuild their club into a premiership force again or will it be the young guns from the Gold Coast that will fulfill their prophecies? or will neither QLD team win the flag in the next two years and give Sydney a shot? or will all three fall short in the next five years and allow the Giants to swoop in?

Stupid thread. Having an extra $400k in the salaray cap for a rentention allowance (most years of which we did not even reach) was certainly not the difference between our team winning three in a row.

When you consider inherent disadvantages such as having local talent make up around 5% of the overall draft pool, and being the 2nd or even 3rd preferred sport in the state, I think 400k doesn't exactly counter such problems that clubs from Rugby league dominated states face each season.

Again, stupid thread that demonstrates very little to no knowledge or insight into the Aussie Rules climate within QLD/NSW.

Don't like it? Move back to Melbourne.

Nobody forced the Swans to move to Sydney. You make your bed, you lie in it.

Swans were financially dead in the water in the late 70's there wasn't much choice.
Just like the Tigers were rattling the tins in the late 80's.

Swans moved, found financial stablity (albeit after 15+ years of pain in Sydney) and have had onfield success.
Tigers have made their bed and wish they didn't have to lie in it.

U wot?

I was replying to the poster that was whinging about having to travel 10 times a year (while conveniently ignoring the fact they get a genuine home ground advantage 10 times a year too).

If they don't want to travel, move back to Melbourne. Otherwise deal with it. Not sure what your comment about Richmond even means.

Pretty close. But 4 or 5 to your other home ground does soften the blow somewhat.

This logic is sound :drunk

Hawthorn played 11 games at the MCG and 4 games in Tassie last year. Of those 11 games at the MCG (our primary home ground) 7 of those games were against co-tenants or fellow Victorian clubs. How many games did the Swans play at the SCG against co-tenants?

Hawthorn's games in Tasmania are akin to your games at Homebush, its a secondary home ground where Hawthorn capitalise by means of rival clubs having limited experience at the ground...

How I have missed the Swans who for one reason or another have been in hibernation since September 29

Read the rule book champ, Brisbane's salary cap "concessions" were available to every club in the comp.
 
I suspect that "rule" was written in general terms, but, such that no other club would qualify for it apart from Brisbane.

Nah, they're just shifting to 'COLA-lite', there will still be concessions.

Also, NSW & QLD teams get academies to help them win more (sorry to 'promote the game').

Do you not see how that exact same argument can be used for COLA?

If you want a COLA, move to Sydney. Heck, we've already got a suburb called Richmond, so you won't even have to change your name!

Does that mean they don't have to get on a plane?

Yep - the club doesn't have to - they choose to.

They could reduce that travel burden at club level and elect not to play there and subsequently they wouldn't need to get on a plane and could still play 22 H&A games.
