With sammy and pridda retiring thats probably 800k extra in the cap, and lecras and butler probably bring that up to 1.5 mil assuming they retire. Plus the extra 2 or so mil in the cap increase, we really should be making sure jeremy stays, and then having a crack at mitch. If freo are offering 750 I think we could afford to offer 600-650 given the cap increase. The bonus of playing with his brother and not being in a forwardline of mccarthy, kersten and ballantyne should be appealing.
After that we will still have stacks of cash to throw at an a grade mid, surely we will throw stupid money at guys like cripps, rocky, coniglio, hopper, kelly, david swallow, duncan, powell pepper. One more quality mid next year and I think we will be much better off. Surely with the amount of money we've got to play with we can nab one of them.
