AFL boss Andrew Demetriou has revealed the league will review the Sydney Swans' cost of living allowance that gives the club a salary cap edge on its rivals.

But Demetriou was quick to dismiss talk the review was linked to the reigning premiers 11th hour bid at securing Adelaide defector Kurt Tippett.

The Swans get an extra 9.8 per cent in their salary cap to help counter the costs associated with living in Australia's largest city.

"It was discussed at the [AFL] Commission yesterday and the commission did feel, not because of the Sydney Swans and the kneejerk reaction, that the last time we reviewed this was five years ago," Demetriou said.

"Maybe it is appropriate we collate more information, all the bureau of statistics information, get some experts involved, some third parties and get some more information."

"We'll bring it back to the commission to have a look at."

Tippett, 25, walked out on the Crows last month under the guise of wanting to return to his home state of Queensland.

But the home-sick key forward had a change of heart when the Swans tabled a lucrative deal for his services.
