It may not be as bad as you expect. The difference now is that players want to come to the club, and especially if they are among the more highly paid, may be prepared to pay a bit for the position. I suspect that even if the COLA doesn't survive in its present form, the players on lower pay rates may still get some assistance, as in my opinion they should.Originally Posted by Reggi

How we will pay for Franklin
#1. The next TV rights deal, from 2017, tipped to be around 25% higher at $1.5b-1.6b.
The AFL's broadcasting rights could be worth $1.6b in 2016
#2. A single football dept spending cap instead of player payments cap (as predicted by Ireland apparently)
Players in call for single cap
Surely GWS should have their COLA chopped. Western Sydney is way cheaper than the Eastern Suburbs!
True, but tell me (BTW), where do GWS players live? The last time I've checked many were living in Breakfast Point in Inner-West, which is not cheap at all.
They probably get a large discount for buying in bulk! Smart manipulation of the COLA
i head rumours today that Buddys knee had been playing up since the intra club game ?
has anyone heard similar ?

Not according to Longmire.

Still believe him on this one. He said Buddy will play NAB round 2.
I do too on this occasion, just thought I'd make the point

Caro reporting Swans likely to lose COLA altogether. I suppose we should take this as a sign that we are now officially feared.
AFL, power clubs ready for showdown over equalisation
