It would, but you also need spots available to bring players in. What would be interesting is how much % increase goes to their stars who have signed long term contracts. Did Weitering re-sign during the year? If St Kilda were going to offer him 1.5mill, then I’m tipping Carlton would need to offer him 1.2-1.3 to stay.But given the cap is going up, wouldn't that mean clubs would have (includ carlton) more space in the cap?
