That's all well and good but there will need to be pay rises for guys like Sheed, Ryan, Duggan, Cole, Barrass and Allen.
Probably can't keep all those guys while also setting aside $1 million per year for Cripps.
If Cripps was to choose WC, they'd find a way to get him. But I question the wisdom of paying $6 million over six years to a guy who'll be 27 before he plays a game. And that's before you even consider the cost in trade terms should Carlton match the offer.
WC should probably prioritise drafting/poaching younger midfielders.
Agree 100%
I'd like them to go after Jeremy Sharp at GC, or perhaps Will Powell as well.
Ryan, Barrass and Allen aren't OOC on 2021, and the salary cap will go up next season, and the season after that.
I'm not huge on us going all in for Cripps, but if we don't go after him, or he doesn't choose to come to us, it won't be because of our cap.
