Livingstone is a poor to average player. He may develop, but given that Perth are in an unusual position of having depth with talls, I assume he is going to a team in desperate need of a ruck/forward.
Mikeh, agree entirely with your view about SF concessions. They won the flag in 2020 and made finals in the following two years. Missing for two seasons doesn’t require league intervention. Likewise Subi - they had almost two decades of almost unprecedented dominance. Now, faced with 3 years out of the finals, they are getting help. On the other hand, clubs like Perh and SD should be able to retain concessions for long enough - at least 5 years - to build sustained success. There’s no point having those teams have a level of success for a year or two before sinking back to the bottom once they are required to rely on local players.
