He has already done one hell of a build.Looks like Coniglio's manager is spending some time at Carlton today.
Don't think he would want to start again at another club.

A broken analog clock is right twice a day so maybe he is due.Cogs to Cats gaining steam. T Browne leading the charge.
Even if they lose Kelly they wouldn’t be able to afford cogsBarrett also running with the Geelong/Coniglio ties. FMD if they get him.
1st off the NBA salary cap is nuts.Not sure any of the AFL's rules would really hold up in court. Every footballer in the country is free to play outside the AFL system, though. Out of contract players are free to move around whenever they want in the NBL but every single one of them would accept the T&Cs of an NBA contract if it meant playing in that league.
I like the NBA approach of qualifying contracts. You don't just get a $200m 5 year contract because a club wants you, you have to earn it with a certain level of performance. And each team is limited to how many high paid free agents they can sign etc. Someone like Anthony Davis can earn a supermax contract if he stays but less if he leaves as a free agent or is traded.
Someone like Tim Kelly (2 years but well above what a standard first 2 years normally looks like) would not be eligible for FA status but could be eligible for say 5 x $750k to stay with Geelong, or 4 x $725k / 5 x $700k if traded.
Someone like Coniglio (8 years) would be eligible for FA status at maybe 6 x $900k to stay or 6 x $800k to leave.
That sort of thing. Plus someone like Dylan Shiel could only be traded for the remainder of his contract, so would be out of contract this year.
Where our FA system is skewed is 25% of salaries thing and the fact there is compo on offer. We could've re-signed Scott Lycett for maybe $50-100k more per season but in letting him go we got pick 19. Silly system.
I’d be surprised if we didn’t have more cap space than both those teams next year after our front loadingCogs is looking at $1,500,000 a year for 6 maybe even 7 years
Geelong would not be able to offer him half that amount , He doesnt need to be close to Moggs creek why would he leave $800k a year on the table to play at geelong.
St Kilda / Carlton would be crazy not to do all they can to get him
I would be extremely surprised if north has not asked the question but dont think north can risk it going public after Kelly , Mqrtin , Gaff fiascoI’d be surprised if we didn’t have more cap space than both those teams next year after our front loading
Whether we offer it up for cogs is another question
Have a guess champ
Or keep deflecting
Even saying all 7 on 800k which will be less for most is 5.6mil
My next thread stay tuned will be in relation to this topic

Only one who knows for sure is the listmanagement team.If this is the price, I reckon Whitfield goes this year. Its gonna kill your cap.
Geez you must have been paying Shiel and Scully a lot last year then to clear this much cap space.Only one who knows for sure is the listmanagement team.
I have faith in them.
We didn't just lose 2 players.Geez you must have been paying Shiel and Scully a lot last year then to clear this much cap space.

Next week it'll be Collingwood.Must be a slow news day.
If Cogs ends up at Geelong I'll eat my hat!

Not at all. I still think he is just guessingIt's not a surprising figure, is it?
