Ben Brown is going to be a super star

Lets return the favour to North and give him a nice big fat deal, only difference, he will take it to play at a big 4 club.

Thoughts?
 
That would just about send North supporters over the top.

North fail to get Dusty with RFC paying less and then Brown agreeing to come to the tiges for the difference between Dusty's RFC salary and what North were offering

No money left, welcome to our dilemma for the next 7 years ;)

I love it!
 
Hopefully it drives his price up to uncomfortable levels for them. So that they have to pay over the odds for him. 2 can play at that game
 
Not sure we could afford it could we ?

The big offer I mean
 
He Was playing in the VFL at Werribee or Williamstown just 5 years ago
Would've been nice if he was playing deep foward for us

Yep agree. We will have salary cap space to fit him in once we get rid of the list cloggers like Batchelor, Hampson, Hunt, Lennon, Morris, Elton, etc

Just remember, during those 7 years, blokes like Rance, Jack and Cotch will retire. So there will be salary cap space and perhaps a list management requirement to bring someone like a Ben Brown across.
 
Offer them

Lennon
Elton
Morris
Miles
Batchelor

and a highlight reel of Dusty, just incase they want to try again in 7 years.

The cap also increases another $1m+ gradually over the next 6 years.
 
We'd be crazy not to at least fire a parting shot across Norf's bows on the way through. Mega cap increase comes into play this year, plus we should be able to free up some more space by moving on some fringe senior players who's contracts are at the tipping point. Mobile, aggressive at the contest, strong overhead, good shot for goal, just coming into his peak years.
I'd be more than happy if we could find a way to *smile* on Norf's parade n poach Ben Brown. Both first rounders with maybe, possibly a second or third rounder coming back so we can still match up for Naish n we'll be doing nicely.
