We could get all three and a couple more if we really tried - don't forget the cap will increase after next year, you can back end contracts, trade out players & clear out dead wood,  let Vickery walk and whilst Tomlinson & Prestia will cost players and/or picks, Hurley won't....and with the bidding system we could probably do all that and trade back into the early rounds of the draft as well...just need to be smart &  bold...

I think we can only speculate as to how much room we have in the cap, but I suspect it couldn't be much more than a mill.

If we grab the aforementioned, it would cost around 1.8ish I would have thought.

How much is Vickery on at the moment? Chaplin comes out of contract and that will free up a bit I think,

 Don't forget, we have to recontract a few as well. Id say we're going to have to upgrade Vlastuin by around 300k a year.

as long as we dont panic and resign players like griff, vickery and chaplin until we get some big fish over the line, we have enough room. Then we caneiter offer a take it and leave it to the under performers or better yet just squeeze them out completely and bring in young draftees on min wage

But will the amount of the increase in the salary cap have to be divided up among all of our contracted players?  AKA - a pay rise for the players ...
When Sydney got their COLA through they bundled it all up & went shopping for Tippett & Franklin because they had heaps of cap space, so remind me, what happened next?

If only they could manage to learn the art of trading out and having extra picks to then trade with.

The academy picks may help us just snag a player like Tomlinson with a bunch of dud(ish) picks :clapping. Trade out the duds for whatever we can get!

What are people's thoughts on Brad Crouch? Apparently wants out of Adelaide.

Pretty talented. Nice defensive pressure. More upside than your Hunt and Houli types.

Boom youngster who has struggled due to injury to find the form he began his career with.If you could definitively say he is over that foot injury then
you would inquire for sure. Fits the bill for everything we should be targeting.
