Demetriou to stand down after 2014 season

[The Sleeping Giant]

Tanking? Lol. We didn't do a very good job at tanking.

That's Carltons mo.

[Squids]

What year was the COLA introduced?

[The Sleeping Giant]

Been in effect in some form since before you started following footy.

[dedja]

It's definitely been in place for more than a couple of years ...

[Squids]

Tell me what year

[The Sleeping Giant]

Early 1990's salary cap. 1980's player retention scheme.

[Squids]

Maybe that explains the massive difference in average crowds from 95 to 96 onwards

"knowing you will be competitive"

= bandwagoners show up

[The Sleeping Giant]

Carlton are an excellent example.

[Squids]

Crowds double for the Swans when the AFL decided to give them an unfair advantage.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Big crowds in the 80's also. Explain that.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Could be argued the Swans saved footy in Victoria. Carlton supporters should be grateful.

Swans turned afl into a sideshow with Warrick Capper


you still haven't explain why the Swans get a COLA which I have proved to be bullshit.

[dedja]

Because Pepsi is more expensive in Sydney.

[The Sleeping Giant]

What have you proved besides your lack of knowledge?

Cost of living allowance has been done to death. Sydney is the most expensive place to live in Australia. Do some real research.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Because Pepsi is more expensive in Sydney.

I always think of cola as the best part of the cannabis plant.

Do you still believe Demetriou gave Sydney the salary cap allowance?

I have said AFL throughout

His biggest achievement might be getting the sanfl and saca to bury the hatchet after 40 years for the good of both sports and the public in the backwards thinking Adelaide.

That is if you subscribe to the theory that the Adelaide oval redevelopment is an improvement.

Gee how amazing and forward thinking would it have been for Adelaide if for the same price as Adelaide oval, we improved Footy Park and put in a light rail/rail line to West Lakes a la modern sports precincts all over the world?
