it would say to the Cats since you keep spruiking your lifestyle advantage we will lower your salary cap.

Why is this fair?

Clubs like Collingwood et al have had a soft cap placed on their spending to stymie their financial advantage and their contributions through big crowds have been sliced up among the rest of the competition.

Geelong has the only real home ground advantage in Victoria, and a lifestyle advantage which appears to make them a destination club where players are allegedly playing for less money.

How can we have an 'even' comp as is the AFL's wont when one club has an overt advantage?

What usually happens is the clamsps go on this type of club.

Does the AFL want Geelong to be a club that's in the eight every yeawr seemingly defying gravity albeit through means others can't match?

Other so-called powerhouses have been hobbled so why not them>?
