In a bid to rationalise and modify the levy charged from foreign nationals visiting India, the government has increased the visa fee by up to 50% across categories.

The hike in the short-term employment visa comes in the wake of countries such as Australia, the US and New Zealand either planning or having already put in place work visa curbs. Though the numbers of foreign nationals working in India are few, the hike is being seen as a tit-for-tat measure.

The government had recently increased the fee in different categories for the US, the UK, Canada, Israel, Iran and UAE nationals.

The fee hike, which is periodic and mostly reciprocal, is sweeping this time as it is being touted as an effort to “rationalise the entryfinish with the minor premiership. In fact, the only side they have ever been "out of the game" against is GWS who have beaten them comprehensively twice now.

One of the keys to the Swans' game is controlling the ball. They're game-plan is suited to the short, squat, SCG better than any other side in the league. By dominating possession and keeping their opponent away from the ball, it's only a matter of time before their skilled midfield can work the ball into an area from which Buddy can score (which lets face it, is a pretty big area).

I took Sydney's "Time in Possession" data from the AFL app and averaged it over all of their home games. You can see that they spend over 5% more game time
