Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
Pal, the reason they had to pay Cola to the Swans is because the vast majority of their players - like 90+% - don't come from Sydney. Therefore the little darlings get home sick and wanna go home to their mummies lololol!!!
Or in lollllers immortal words...…..they don't get homesick they just don't like living away from home lololololol!!! Them's the facts.

Genuinely hard to take someone seriously when they go "lolololololololol!!!"
Never realised quite how much hate there was for AFL from our Northern friends.

The lololololing comment was directed at the other bloke who happens to have a lol in his actual handle on this sight. And sometimes it's very hard not to laugh at his drivel.Cats_Steve wrote: ↑Fri Aug 10, 2018 1:09 pmGenuinely hard to take someone seriously when they go "lolololololololol!!!"

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
GWS chief executive David Matthews tells the AFL to ‘get over’ homesickness
GREATER Western Sydney chief executive David Matthews has called on the AFL to “get over” the level of homesickness that “pervades the competition”.
The ‘go-home factor’ has become a common one for clubs, particularly those in the northern states like GWS, with many players each year making career decisions based on the desire to return home.
While Matthews believes the Giants have begun to successfully combat the issue, he thinks the AFL as a whole needs to stop worrying so much about it.
“I think we haven’t found as big an issue with it in the last few years. One of the factors is obviously if you’re having on-field success, but to be brutally honest, Sydney is an unbelievable spot to live,” he told 3AW’s Sportsday.
“I think most people would say ... you’re only a flight away from Melbourne or wherever you happened to grow up
Where is NlolRL lol .....

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
One good thing the AFL have done with the Suns
is they actually get money for other events held at Metricon Stadium on the Gold Coast.
the figure i am unsure of...
Metricon Stadium's status as a multi-purpose venue has been confirmed over recent months with its transformation from being the main venue for the 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, its transformation back to an AFL venue for the Gold Coast Suns and now as a cricket arena.
Hours after the completion of the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony on 15th April, trucks rolled into Metricon Stadium to start reforming it into an AFL venue.
Dismantling a temporary stand, lighting and other fit-outs for the Games' main arena took three days before the running track was removed and turf re-laying began.
A little over seven weeks later, on Saturday 2nd June the Suns and Geelong ran out on a pristine playing surface prepared at a location two hours north of Carrara by HG Sports Turf that looks every bit as good as it did before the Games.
The re-laying process took nine days in total with another two weeks for it to settle before the Suns began training prior to playing the Cats.
For the Suns, preparation for the project went back to last September when they handed over the keys to Metricon Stadium to the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games Corporation.
In the meantime, the club switched its home base to nearby Bond University where the football department and administration staff set up home for eight weeks.
They returned to Carrara in late April and resumed on an adjacent training field while the finishing touches were being put on the main stadium.
After having played just eight home fixtures at Metricon Stadium, with the Suns’ home AFL season having ended as of 18th August, ground staff then set about the installation of drop-in pitches in preparation for four elite Twenty20 cricket fixtures this summer.
Head groundsman Kerry Betihavas told media “endless hours and sleepless nights” had gone into preparing the ground for cricket, advising “we started constructing these drop-in trays late December last year before the Comm Games started to ensure that the surface would be ready for this upcoming cricket summer.”
He added the drop-in method would provide maximum flexibility for the Carrara arena, explaining “this cricket pitch is in a metal tray which is a portable pitch so we can move it overnight and play footy tomorrow
“It’s very similar to the pitches in Melbourne at the MCG, Optus Stadium now in Perth and the Adelaide Oval.”
Australia will face South Africa in an international T20 at Metricon Stadium on 17th November before a trio of Big Bash League matches are played at the venue on 22nd December and the 1st and 5th January.

Suns to get access to top state league players
Gold Coast will be given special "outside national draft" access to the top state league players as part of assistance packages signed off by the AFL Commission.

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
Good. People love a "wah wah why do they get special concessions.."
They need them. The joint is fucked and if we want to keep a team there then they need all the help they can get.
I also love seeing mature aged/state league players get a second crack at it.

sometimes they surprise you and go onto have a good few years..
however i don't agree with giving clubs getting a leg up on other teams
Sport is a level playing field> no matter where you are situated.
if you cannot get up on your own, no concessions should be made.
no code of sport in the world gives leg up to clubs in a competition.
yet the AFL have done it massively to 4 clubs
GWS SWANS LIONS SUNS
something that i strongly disagree with..

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
What I don't understand is the mindset of a fumblefan .
They think that all compromised comp is fine
That teams getting extra is fine .
If it happened in RL there'd be a riot .
For all it's faults at least RL isn't a rigged comp .
No team gets anything extra.
No pick of the young talent .
No extra $$$ under whatever this years rort is called .

Re: GWS / SUNS >> How much more dollars
But what do you consider a level playing field to be?
If you want to expand in a small country into places with no interest in the game, how do you do that without concessions?
Have the Storm had it any better than the Sydney clubs for the last 20 years?
If the NRL want to go to Adelaide and Perth, how do you think they are going to do that sustainably whilst keeping a level playing field with the Sydney clubs?
Or do they just not try because it compromises the comp?

Everyteam on the same $$$ on field .
No team given extra $$ under a bullshit name
No team given the best young talent.
The arlc has made it clear to the 7-8 places interested in putting a team in the nrl .
You must be financially viable
You must be able to stand on your own 2 feet .
You must have a plan to show how this will be achieved l
In the nrl if your team wins a GF it's because they were the best team .
In the AfL ...if you were a lions or Swans or in future the midgets the same can't be said .
It's because of the massive advantages you were given over other teams......
It's not hard to understand .
