Richmond interested in GWS's Taylor Adams (afl site)

[Darth Tiger]

Everyone just focuses on the deals, salary cap is also a factor.

We obviously don't want to pay him what he wants to get paid.

Would we part with our 1st pick for him? Yep
Would we pay him the money he wants? Nup

There is obviously 2 factors.

This is one thing thats being ignored in the Hampson trade. Was pick 32ish high, yep. Is 250k a year cheap, yep. So people happy with the trade for hampson can argue that he is cheap and value for the cap, and those who hate the trade complain that pick 32ish was too much.

Adams might not suit us salary cap wise in the way we are building the list. He priced himself out of it for us and how we want to spend.

You have to think about both, and for some reason most of the gurus on here only worry about one factor when it suits them and the other factor when it suits them. Very rarely both together depending on the argument they want to use.

Bang on.

New 21st century Richmond versus headless chook Ninthmond.

I know which one I want the future to be ...

we cant get adams because adams wants 400k per year

We cant pay adams 400k per year, because we have just resigned Ellis and conca for less than 300k a year.
