Nice work, also QLD and NSW have the weakest local league to draw talent from. That too should be considered!Eddie is the biggest whinger about inequlities but no club has a bigger imbalance their way than Collingwood who get a dream draw every year.
Carlton wants to talk about our COL concession, what about the pathetic shonky rejigging of Judd's cardboard contract? A heap of his $ in LAST YEARS salary cap and a heap more in the Injury List concessional payments. FFS could the AFL have bent over and got reamed by Carlton any more than that?
Judd's original cardboad contract was out of line but somehow got the ok from Vladland.
COL should not only be be related to the actual COL in each city but the number of players that have to relocate city to play for you.
Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth clubs are at an advantage because a large proportion of their players don't have to move city or even house to play for them. Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast have the overwhelming majority of their list from outside their city.
Here's the number of home state players on every teams list
Richmond - 29
NM - 28
WCE - 28
WB - 27
Ess - 26
Melb - 23
St.K - 22
Geel - 22
Haw - 21
Carl - 21
Coll - 20
Freo - 17
Port - 17
Adel - 16
GCS - 9
Sydney - 7
GWS - 6
Bris - 4
About time the AFL and the power Melbourne clubs had a look at this as it certainly has an effect on attracting and retaining players.
