There's no way in hell we've been close to the salary cap in recent years.

Just one poster who thinks because we paid 104% this year means we have no money.... when logically it means the opposite in that if we have managed to get up to that value then we must have front ended a lot of caks and as such have less to pay this year..... in theory

Brown is gone.
Keep going...Brown is gone.
No idea about anything.
When did I say that? My main point is that we apparently have too many players on bigger $$ than they deserve and therefore we aren't going to be splashing cash around this off season.
My understanding is that to pay above 100% of the cap in any given year you need to have paid below 100% the previous 2 years. We still have guys like Hall, Tyson, Polec, Campbell on our books for next year so the fact we have paid so much this year suggests that these contracts were actually not front ended at all.
When do Melbourne ever move the ball quickly Lol
It was a salary dump.
What we didn’t pay for him in Draft equity, we more than made up for it with $$$.
We were the equivalent of rich old man being left at the alter, only to make his way to Men’s Gallery with the $ for the reception in his Sky rocket.
Port the little fluffer came over and we spent the next few hours feeding Benjamin Franklins into her crack.
Before she left for the evening and Melbourne came over and stroked our inner thigh, some.
overall sounded ok, rated the young ones, think we will be in a good position to attract free agents in future but think we have 2 or 3 more years of pain
Given we could have as many as 10 guys on draftee contracts next year, we have cleared 11 players some of whom were on good coin, and I wouldn't expect us to have anyone with backended deals we should have a heap of flexibility next year even at 95% of the cap.
Polec's contract was front-ended from my understanding. Drops down to $500k to $600k from here.

JMac would have been on decent coin. A few of the others like Williams wouldn't have been on big deals but I assume still better than a standard draft contract?This is assuming competent/smart list management over the last few years of Joyces tenure.
Mason Wood& possibly Majak would've been on good coin, but who else of the delisted?PLAYERCARDSTART32Mason Wood

Based on that belief, which I am sure is fairly widespread, could we trade our future picks to really load up this year's draft hand?

His grasp of our list may be alright, but you've gotta wonder about his grasp on reality ...No idea about anything.
SOS on the other hand had a grasp about our list
