Review Winners and losers - trade week 2024

You should lower your expectations, there's no world where the AFL will let a team pay under the cap floor to their own players, so the maximum potential is limited.

I'm sure we meet the cap floor, but let's say we have reached that and prepaid guys like Balta and Taranto a big chunk of their salaries and have one year where we are just paying the floor and want to purchase the best pick we can. There's talk of trading salary cap for picks too. Although this is a problem it would be better not to have. If a few of our draftees are looking good and want to commit long term, it might be better spent doing a few front loaded contracts instead.

Isn’t the cap floor 92% or something close to that?

If we were to sell the remaining 8% for picks it is interesting what that would deliver

Bowes contract wouldn’t have been anywhere near 8% of the Suns salary cap and they gave up a top ten pick to remove that from their books

8% of the salary cap would get you a pretty good trae I would think.

With Tasmania coming into the comp, I really like how aggressively Tigers are loading up on the draft beforehand. If they do the same next year, major props.

not sure what players they have left to offload now to do the same, unless you mean maybe trading out some of these later picks for future firsts

That’s my thought. Being able to trade excess draft picks this year for future ones next year. Especially if they can turn single draft picks into multiples.

if i were the tigers i'd be aiming to get at least two extra firsts for next year from the current hand they have
