You can talk! Hawthorn has the entire state of Tasmania propping them up, with a five year $19 million government handout. Talk about double standards! The Swans aren't even allowed to have a crummy academy without the Victorian clubs moaning.
One rule for Collingwood and Hawthorn, another rule for the Swans.
I realise you've had your reality skewed by being the only AFL team in a populous northern state where viewing numbers are crucial to boost TV rights prices, but we have a name for that kind of 'handout' down south. We call it "sponsorship". From all accounts a very smart deal by the Tassie government given the independent valuations of the benefit to the state that is derived by their "sponsorship" dollars. The same can probably be said for the money the AFL invested in COLA over the years, increased the TV rights funds by quite a sum I'd imagine (and something the other clubs should be grateful for).
Lol. "Sponsorship".Did you seriously just call a sponsorship deal a handout? Wow!
I hope you're been drinking and delete your ridiculous post when you sober up tomorrow.
ThisAny club can do it better with more money to do it with.
That is entirely the issue with a differential salary cap.
The cap is a handcuff so it has to be equally tight.
Sydney look shot. May still limp to 4th due to easy run home though.
Tbh their chances remind me of 2010 bulldogs. Will limp in to top 4 and probably prelim too but have absolutely no ******* hope from there and it is visible to everyone.
4th isn't a sure thing for them yet, you'd almost back the Giants and saints to take it right up to them in the next couple of weeks.
Lol. "Sponsorship".
You guys are hilarious.

Well yes....The Tassie govt are our major sponsors....Their logo adorns our jumper, just in case you missed it. Probably a reason why we don't need to crawl to the AFL looking for handouts, & selling our captains 200th game out, by bending over to the P/C crowd.

You guys crack me up. The Tassie Hawks. What a club.How is the Tassie sponsorship any different from the cash you get from Ford? Because the taxpayers pay for it? They are also the ones reaping the ample benefits for Tasmanian that flow from the deal. And guess whose money kept Ford in Geelong all those years? Motor industry subsidies - now there is a real handout with a dubious economic benefit.
