AFL equalisation.

[RHLK]

All things being equal, how does one club stay at the top for decades?

Such an outlier would suggest a thorough investigation of the system.

Salary cap.

Farms.

Cotton On.

Unique competitive advantage purely through location.

Cost of living way lower, and country boys be country boys which allows them to attract players other clubs can’t.

What percentage of players come from the country?

Have their own Stadium.

Once you have success there, everyone sees it as the place to go - buy a joint

for 3 million and it’s a lifestyle property not a town house and you’re still in proximity to Melbourne.

Meanwhile play footy outside the bubble.

And built originally on Father Son anomalies.

They also have the best talent ID setup and best development.

• Mullen
• O’Connor
• Blivacs
• Humphries
• Miers
• Stewart
• Close
• Atkins
• Martin
• Dempsey
• Z Guthrie
• J Henry

That’s half the team from last Friday night that were all speculative picks that have become very good players - im sure there are more.

Wells is a genius and I’ve heard he’s one of the best blokes in footy as well.

I thought the equalisation part was referring to exec bonuses.

The snipe in me wants to think it comes down to being kissed in terms of father sons and milking free agency but you have to get a lot of other things right for that level of success.

You won't find a better Coach and lifestyle is big. They've created a go home factor for plenty of interstate Falcons or Country boys.

I thought they'd lose their mojo after Selwood and Hawkins retired. Then Neale and Atkins step up.

well for example they didnt sign ccj up for 4 years or take jack mahony,

They also target freak athletes who can run and are happy to gamble on them higher up in the draft. Obv everyone knows about Blivacs, but I think Neale, Dempsey and Holmes are all national running champions over 200m to 400m.
