    New CBA

    Just up on the AFL website, new Salary Cap to be over $12mill, up from the 2016 cap of $10.37mill.

    Increase of 10% in 2018 to $13.3mill'ish, then 3 years of 3% each year.

    Buddy looking cheap now!

    Now this is sorted out, who are our priority signings?

    We should try to retain Jones and Reid as well as try to pinch a couple of guns. Fyfe would look good in a Swan's jersey; not sure about Dusty though.

    Agree. we did quite well with the Buddy deal, and I don't care if we don't win a premiership with him, the risk we took has been rewarding. As for the Tippett deal.. well arghhh..! Cant get everything right.

    Dustin Martin, the guys a gun and would be even better in a great midfield and great club :-)

    Jones is due a new contract, Reg is a formality extension. We may of course have already spent some of the increase in re-signing all the stars over the last 12 months given we all knew that significant increases were going to happen. But if not - target Dusty!

    I personally don't want that piece of white trash anywhere near our club.

    Jones and Mills are the immediate signings. I'd be waiting to see what Reid produces because at $500,000 a season I can count the number of four quarter efforts on one hand.

    I'd prefer to see us develop our own but I'd suggest that in 2019, once Tippett is off our wage bill that we might be tempted to have a nibble at a free agent.

    I think our list is as deep and as balanced as it has ever been right now

    Christmas celebrations at the Martin household were going along just fine, until somebody mentioned papa Martin's future deportation.

    In my opinion, he is vastly overrated as there are too many games where he goes missing and doesn't give a squeak. His best is pretty decent, but he is hit and miss (and we have enough guys already that go missing in big games at times!)
