Exactly. Why should AFL footballers be given compensations that no other person who works receives?

Not so sure about that. With all the companies I have worked for which have offices in both NSW and SA, NSW employees always got paid more due to living expenses being more.

All clubs in different states would have a different salary cap (unless prices/costs were the same in different states), and it would fluctuate from year to year according to current inflationary trends.
..and when real estate prices dipped, the clubs in that state would have a corresponding dip in their salary cap.

5 of the 13 flags and 7 of the 13 GF's since 2000. They're doing ok.

Anyone else reminded of Ryan O'Keefe's attempt to move to Hawthorn? That was announced as a done deal but a few weeks later he wasn't a Hawk because Hawthorn didn't want to trade any premiership stars and so the trade fell over. ROK I guess had to skulk back to his team-mates but now a few years on has another premiership medal.
I reckon Sydney and Tippett assumed the alleged agreement on the 2nd round draft pick (meant to apply if he shifted to the GC) would get it done.
I'll call it first - I reckon there's a chance Tippett will end up somewhere other than Sydney. Slim chance I think, but a chance.

ROK was all over Hawthorn, wanted out of Sydney, had to move to Melbourne for lifestyle reasons, etc, etc
Then 3 weeks later he was still stuck at Sydney because Sydney rightly played hardball with Hawthorn who were pinching one of their best players but didn't want to give anything decent up for him.
