Nah we can't pay more than our first pick but we won't be doing that when he's a FA. There's no way GWS can match what we'll offer.
I’m not sure if I’m not articulating my point very well or others just don’t agree it’s possible or don’t think it will happen.
GWS will match even if they can’t legitimately afford to because Dylan won’t stay, they only have to be able to fit him in at that price if he stays.
Dylan might then choose to stay (I doubt) and the Giants will have to pay him that amount and they will have to cut others to do so, but in terms of matching an offer, they COULD if they had to.
Adelaide matched Geelongs offer to force a better trade hand and I very doubt the AFL accounts department were doing a through audit on their player payments as the payments in question have yet to be made.
