I may be wrong, but I think part of the collective bargaining with the AFLPA and AFL means that when the cap raises player salaries raise in line with it. So % wise no one actually has any more cap space.

Agree in part, but I've heard/read a lot of contracts have been negotiated so that they increase proportionately to the cap increasing.
If the cap is going up by 15%, many of those existing contracts will also increase by 15% and eat into that $2 million.

Would have been happy to add Hardwick but I’m not disappointed he is off the table. I personally think we need to add more class and x-factor, guys who are more of a threat in front of goal and can capitalise on the few chances they get. I know Hardwick has kicked multiple goals a few times, but he can’t be relied upon for that. We have a few grunt work types, need the damaging type. Stengle may be overpriced but he’s just the type we need. Like all of us I hope that Motlop becomes that for us, but it may take some time.
Damn, he was another Martin replacement option.
Just kicks goals up forward, plays very much like Elliott from the filth, Hawthorn need him down back most of the time but I reckon they’ll flip him permanently when Breust hangs em up

The right thing, but would have been an excellent addition if we could get him.

Going to be hard to lure anyone from the Hawks at the moment. Sam Mitchell doing an excellent job
Correct, he is on a lot less than 800k currently. They won't get into a bidding war for someone internally they already see as high risk.

The media have been hinting that Tyson would rather live and play in the big smoke rather than down in sleepy hollow. Might be a smokescreen but if true would be the opposite of how they landed a few like Cameron and Dangerfield.
$850k for an average forward pocket. No thanksHS reporting Stengle available at 850k apparently... Would be out of our range with TDK and Weitering signings in the future.
Still hoping for a miracle though

Best forward pocket in the league atm... What?
If we were willing to offer Hayward around 800K then we can do the same for Stengle... and I rate Tyson more highly than Hayward.
Imagine how scary our forward line looks with Stengle buzzing around the feet of Harry and Charlie! I'm frikkin salivating! Kill em in the air... and kill em on the ground
Just get it done Austin!

Haywards offer started with a 6 not 800k. But Stengle would be worth it i think
No but the so called ‘window’ closes very quickly so I’d be striking while the iron is hot.
I’ve said it before I think Zurhaar would be great for us and LDU would be the perfect Cripps replacement when he decides to retire.
Another ‘speedy’ mid would be exactly what we need.

We 100% we’re not willing to offer Hayward anywhere near $800k
Had one good season. A top 4 team won't throw that sort of money for a forward pocket. Good luck if he can get it.

Don’t feed the troll
Perhaps you should look at the career of the player before you comment. Had one good season and your happy to pay him 850k a season?? There's a reason the cats aren't paying that.

You’re…
And no, I don’t think he’s worth $850k but he’s certainly a very very good player and one that would make any team better.
By the way, what year are you referring to as his 1 good season?
So you agree he's not worth the money. Thank you.
