Is it fair to roll this out for all clubs in principle?
As a general indication, based on the following reference, a current salary cap of approx $11million and using Melbourne as the referenced base cost:-

- Sydney is 15% more expensive, therefore increase Swans and Giants salary cap by $1.65million. id suspect Giants might be a bit less given western sydney as a region is a different kettle of fish than the rest of the city.
- Melbourne is neutral as the base cost. no change to the salary cap for teams based predominantly in Melbourne. The cats however would need to take a pay cut given Geelong is cheaper than Melbourne as a city.
- Brisbane is 2% less expensive, therefore reduce Lions salary cap by $0.22million
- Perth is 6% cheaper, therefore reduce the salary cap of Freo and WC by $0.66million
-Adelaide and Gold Coast are around 10% cheaper, therefore reduce the salary cap for suns power and crows by $1.10 million.
