It's a Buddy Circus

It's caused an outcry among all Victorians. A snicker from across the border, and outrage out west. No. I'm not talking about the Federal Election... This is much more important. This, my friends, is the eulogy.

Eulogy of what? 

Well, the grave has been dug by Mick Malthouse, Eddie McGuire and James Brayshaw.

RIP COLA. You served the Swans well.

The cost of living tax is on its death bed. Why? Because the Swans just went one big deal too many. And it is a massive offer too. 9 years. $10million. Sure, in comparison to other sports the pay isn't too flash, but we've never believed in the amounts that the US pay their stars. Plus it's also with circumstance that they pay us different. Those whom are poor in the US (many of whom become sporting stars), are much poorer than the poor in Australia. They are not only supporting themselves, but their family and friends too. They are also owned by Franchises, something we refuse to do. But $10million is a massive sum of money to earn in the AFL. It may be the final move, that kills the COLA. It went unnoticed for years, due to the Swans players sharing out the money quite evenly. No longer is that the case. They're targeting big guns. Tippett, Franklin ect. And the other Presidents of the 16 non-New South Welsh clubs are left with egg on their face. 

Demetriou does not like criticism, so it is more than likely that he will scrap the COLA forever, as soon as possible.

RIP Cost of Living Allowance. You have been honourable in your cause. But Buddy has been the death of you.
