The Swans complete their home-and-away season with two home games after two weeks on the road in Melbourne and Geelong.

They came away after the fortnight with one win (Melbourne at the MCG) and one loss (Cats).

In a week when Victorians were looking at the competition and asking questions, Paul Roos said the interstate teams face their own problems.

"A lot has been said in Melbourne this week about the interstate dominance and all that sort of stuff but we are the teams that have to travel all the time," Roos said.

"The interstate teams have to travel every second week so there is no doubt it is taxing and it is good to be able to have a couple of weeks at home and know the players are at home and in a good routine."

The topic of debate again is the dominance of non-Victorian Clubs in the competition with West Coast, Adelaide, Fremantle and the Swans holding positions in the top five, and perhaps the realisation that for the sixth consecutive year the premiership cup could be travelling out of Melbourne on the last Saturday in September.

Why do you think they are dominating?

Several Club representatives have said it is a national competition and at the moment this is the way the cards have fallen.

However, one senior coach came out saying he felt the pathway for Victorian kids put them at a disadvantage as the structure in Western Australia and South Australia gives youngsters an opportunity to play senior football earlier.

Another point he made was the Victorian clubs could not utilise their rookie list because of costs, while non-Victorian clubs were generally able to afford more rookie listed players.

Looking in the AFL Record each club had the following rookies heading into 2006: Brisbane 9, Sydney Swans 9, West Coast 6, Carlton 5, Essendon 5, Geelong 5, Hawthorn 5, Melbourne 5, Adelaide 4, Collingwood 4, Fremantle 4, Kangaroos 4, Port Adelaide 4, Richmond 3, St Kilda 3 and Western Bulldogs 1.

Do you think the competition is fair for all clubs across Australia? If not, how can it be improved?
