If GWS do happen to take Tippett at ether pick 1, 2 or 3 would we still be aiming for Wines or someone else

with GWS seemingly very keen on taking him with one of their high end pick in one of this years drafts, I really feel it will push out one of Cameron or Patton! As tippet is asking for $1 million a season and as they already have scully on a multi million deal this would severley screw them as far as keeping a large number of their young talent it would seem. If Cameron or patton were to leave GWS for another club due to them not being able to fit in the salery cap, imo it would be a severe c*#k up by the giants!

There will inevitably be a number of their young guns leaving due to a salery cap squeeze anyway but i wouldn't have thought either of these 2 would've ever been thought to have been one of these players!

With Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Pederson and Fitzy i dont think it would br worthwhile chasing Patton or Cameron

The guy wants about $1mill per year for 4 yrs minimum. How can GWS possibly find that kind of space in their salary cap at this stage in their planning for 2013?

By the money they save by not paying Israel F.

I didn't actually mean that we should chase them but i can see how what i said may make you think that. All i mean is GWS would have made a serious mistake imo if they were not able to keep both those fwds because of tippett as they seem as though they will be likely stars, i know its early to say that but its on the cards i reckon.

any of the others that will quite possibly be pushed out (mids or backs) would be worth looking at though.

The questions are, how much were they paying Filou and how much was in their salary cap?

...and how much was salary cap exempt under some kind of AFL promotional budget?

I don't know the answers to these questions but I'm pretty sure they didn't carry much of the burden.

I don't get this. If Folau was contracted (and walked away) don't they still have to include the money due to him under the salary cap??

Depends on how it was setup by the AFL. Who was he contracted to or by? did he come under the salary cap at all?

i thought I read somewhere it was like a million of his wages was promotional which the afl was paying so GWS paying very little

might push a good midfielder out though
