That's all well and good, but what about $$$?
GWS would struggle to up his 800k contract, Carlton and St Kilda would be able to pay well north of that especially if they didn't have to give up anything but cap space.
I think we need to progress to a point where we have enough NSW and QLD players coming through that you can fill 60-70% of a side and greatly reduce go home factor, as the power is moving towards the players.
Before you make more of a fool of yourself, understand the current salary cap rules.
There arent any. We can sign Dylan Shiel on a contract that is 300k, 300k, 400k, 700k, 900k, 1.4m, 1.5m, 200k. When we get to a salary-cap crisis, we can then "stretch" those big backloaded payments.
This is exactly what Sydney did with Buddy, and it's legal.
