Just reading Peter Ryan's article on the AFL and the MFC websites on equalisation.
Sorry, haven't got links yet.
Also there was another article on the AFL website by Nick Bowen titled "Clubs brace for luxury slug under new equalisation measures."
The most surprising thing here, for me, is a rule I've never heard of, but that has apparently been in place for the last 2 years.
That is, that a team gets a $188k extra in their salary cap for each veteran who has played 10 years or more.
And that resulted in Geelong having an extra $1.06 mil in their salary cap last year.
No wonder they've been able to extend their run at the top when most expected them to fall...
