Mac I understand your point, but if we end up with a vault full of salary cap because of retirements, etc and we can't entice/bribe a top line player (and I hope it would be a big forward) to come onboard, then taking your point we would be compelled to spend our booty on some chump players because the AFL says so. I suppose you make your bed you have to lie in it. If that is the case the club has a serious problem for years to come in terms of player attraction, other than those than want to cruise on home on a cushy number.
