Our midfield was arguably the weakest in the top 8, we aggressively went ahead and fixed it. Why would fans care if it's a 7 year deal? Neither signing is a free agency deal so the contract can be rejigged at any point without breaking any rules.

The salary cap is about to increase and list managers are well aware of what that looks like - if it's 20-25% as rumoured, these deals are not overs. When this increase hits, Dusty's 1.3m off the books and another 1m the year after when Lynch's deal expires.

It's incredible list management when you look at it holistically.

Imagine being a fly on the wall at that team recruiting meeting.

Blair - OK Dimma what do you need playerwise for the team?

Dimma - We really need more midfield strength. Trent's in his twighlight years and Dion can't do it all by himself plus he's vulnerable to soft tissue injuries.

Blair - I've heard Jacob Hopper and Tim Taranto are keen to come back to Victoria. Giants are under salary cap pressure and will need to let players go.

Dimma - Great, which one do you think we should target?
