I think we need to salary dump one of hopper or taranto collingwood style. We cant afford to have two tractors long term for another 6 years. Trade/pay them to another club while they still have value.

WTF for? Our cap is fineI think we need to salary dump one of hopper or taranto collingwood style. We cant afford to have two tractors long term for another 6 years. Trade/pay them to another club while they still have value.
Watch what happens to our midfield this week without either Hopper or Taranto in there. They are the backbone of our midfield for the next few years, particularly as we have young mids coming into the side. You want to get whacked by 80 points each week for the next couple of years ?I think we need to salary dump one of hopper or taranto collingwood style.

WTF for? Our cap is fine
Prestia, Lynch, Dusty, Grimes, Broad, Pickett and McIntosh will all be gone in 2 years. At that stage we'll probably be struggling to pay 95% of the cap as required.
I didn't love them coming in together but Prestia retiring this year sees TT & JH consolidate their spots. Dow, Bolton, Kmac2, Sonze, MRJ? as depth.Watch what happens to our midfield this week without either Hopper or Taranto in there.

Taranto copped a very unlucky injury and if Hopper can get a clean run at it, he's a deadset gun as he showed last week, chopping up Melbourne's mids for a half before he went down.
I rate him but 3 coaches don't so he'll be gone. Join Biggie & CC & Arden St.Why delist cumberland when we havent given him a chance? He would thrive at another club. Blame the selectors playing duds in front of him

Green, Coulthard maybe delist and re rookie.
Throw Short in the trade basket before he depreciates to nothing.
Be ****ed if he finally came good and Eagles poached him.Need to sign Miller up. Been great at full back. We can play Gibcus forward
Just frontload the contracts, bring the future money forward. Then use the saved money on FAFrightening the salary cap next year is 17.7 million, plus 1.2m ASA and we have to pay 95% of it….on this list
FmdControversial, but we could be competing for a flag next year, IF:
- We have a good injury run (i.e. Gibcus)
- We can get another good year out of (in order of importance): Vlastuin, Broad, Nank, Lynch, Martin, Prestia, Grimes
- We don't lose best 22 players to FA
Bonus: Bring in a best 22 FA and a top five draft pick.
They're a lot of caveats, but it's easy to forget just how much of our team is out right now, and easy to underestimate how improved our full team could be with the additional talent we've been investing in (namely Brown, Miller, Lefau, Young, Maurice Rioli, Campbell, Ralphsmith)
Sure I might be getting a little ahead of myself, but I see more reason for optimism than most. I wouldn't be very surprised if we made a late run for finals this year once we get players back on the park.
Y'all are too reactive.
