Actually there's an argument if you're not maxing the TPP, you're not trying hard enough.how good is having the most salary cap to manipulate with
Please do. North Melbourne during FA is like the drunk guy on the dance floor trying to hook up with every girl and getting rejected every time.if Kelly doesn't take our money, warchest goes to this guy. Outbid everyone by 200k plus

You do know every single player signed for less at the clubs they are at than what North was offering?The drunk rich guy
Only each year everyone else gets poorer and we have more money on the dfloor comparatively
yep and those clubs had to offer more than what they wanted to initially offer to at least come a bit closer to our offerYou do know every single player signed for less at the clubs they are at than what North was offering?

Definitely wants to play with JOM. It is a factI dont really have a horse in this race but i would love to know what these 'FACTS' are
I also remember a fair bit posted about how Lynch & J'O Meara were best mates and Lynch wanted to play with JOM

Oh really?Definitely wants to play with JOM. It is a fact
you do know players sign for less than what they can get on the market, theres nothing strange about turning down a bigger offer to stay putClearly not very. After all, the 'big fish' you go after keep rejecting you for significantly less than you're offering.

there's almost a 200k premium in getting a good player to switch clubs
its achieved nothing tangible yet....Debatable and depends a lot on the club they're going to. Lynch to Richmond (and many other examples) didn't require huge overs, but that's beside the point...You're saying how good it is to have that cap space, while clearly it's achieved very little....i.e. It's not all that good.

give it time
Do we even know that North have the biggest salary cap room? Honestly it could just be that they are the only ones willing to flaunt stupid amounts of money.
I'd bet Saints (less now with Hanners signing on), Bulldogs and Sydney all have comparable room in their caps, just are not wanting to throw pointless amounts of cash at players until one sticks. Better to choose who you genuinely need and make a play for them, rather than offering huge amounts to every major trade target that appears
No, you see it's a really clever strategy. Every year, you force one club to pay market rate for a player, then you do it to another the following year, then once you get around to doing the same thing to every club, it's 17 years later and every player has retired and every contract is long over. It's foolproof reallyYeah, but according to their fans, they're forcing the clubs who get/retain those players to use up all their cap, making it easier for them in the future.
I mean, after Richmond signed Dusty for ~$300K/year less than North offered him, it'll be years until we can sign another big name player, no matter how much we'd like a 199cm key forward who was captain of his club.

Why?
It seems to me if you want a player then making an offer is the appropriate thing to do. A couple of North's offerrs have gone public at seemingly innapropriate times, ie Kelly and Martin. Cui Bono would appear to suggest the players managers the likely culprits.
Those kind of grandfather others are pretty rare. I dont know how it went down. I just cant see how the club gains from going public though. Leon said last year it's a tactic but not whose tactic.Seems odd that separate player managers only seem to leak like this when North is involved.
The common denominator is North, which would suggest that's where the leaks are coming from.
Nothing against them making an offer, but when you keep, publicly, making BIG offers and getting turned down, it's a bad look. North is fast becoming an anti-destination club. Trouble is, the easy way to get over that perception is to get a big name player, so the answer would be to offer such massive overs that it's an offer the next targeted player cannot refuse (e.g. $2M/year for Coniglio...Ridiculous, sure, but he'd pretty much have to say yes)...Which could chew up so much of their cap that it'd end up hurting the club more than anything.

I guess we've all got a price but my feeling is Kelly would more susceptible to money than Cogs. His family are wealthy and he was never going to struggle. I dont doubt we had to scrape and increase our offer to Kelly last time.
I'm not so sure. North strike me as a club that dont really give a * about external opinions. Bit like Port in that regard.My point was that the more they get rejected with big offers, the more likely they are to need to make a grandfather offer in order to regain credibility.
