You’re not getting a top 10 pick for Dusty regardless of how much salary we would have to eat. No way I’d be paying for any player to play for another club.
There'd be clubs that would seriously entertain the idea of offloading a 1st round draft pick just for the million dollar salary cap, no doubt about it. If an ultimately unsuccessful team like Port, St Kilda or Melbourne knew that adding a gun player for free to their list might bridge the gap between them and, say, a premier like Collingwood, I reckon they'd contemplate handing over their 1st rounder (which will probably be in the mid/late teens).

Not saying that I'd want to do it, but Dusty + $1M salary relief could probably bump it into Top 10 for a club like Essendon or the Suns if they finish 9th or 10th this year. If Essendon seriously thought they were in the window next year, who'd be more likely to win them the flag next year, Dusty or Tsatas? Not everything's about 5 years down the track.

Suns did it for $600k/year. And they LOST a player - a Pick #10 who'd been in their system for half a dozen years.

I douby Bombers would do it but GC might due to their academy kids coming through this year and 1 is apparently supposed to be in top 5 calculations.
 
With Dixon, Finlayson and Marshall all flying. Georgiades is a Monty to leave at end of season. Coming off a knee reco he'd come cheap $400k x 3 or 4 years straight swap for Jack Graham or a 3rd rounder should be about right.

Yep, out of contract. You’d think West coast will be all over him trying to bring him home to WA.

Dixon is not flying not sure how his form has been leading into last night but if that is all he can muster Kenny might be having another tough conversation with one of his favourites
 
I'd hope if we don't get Himmelberg that we go for Georgiades and failing that Riccardi who has kicked 6 goals in his last 3 weeks and looked pretty good. I keep saying it - he will be a bargain for whoever targets him.
I have no idea who we could get, but heck we need someone, and fast.
 
MRJ a work in progress.
He is, but I don’t think he’ll become the level of Nick Daicos or Richo. Some teams play this game at an easier level with so many star father/son players. Seems like we’re just not one of them. Even our NGA academy doesn’t produce much top talent (if at all).
 
I talked to Jack today and he told me he's planning on playing on next season and that Trent is leaning that way as well! This is great news in my opinion!
