Yeah.
Our job is to negotiate the cap and the minimum salary, and then it's over to the clubs to work their way through that in between.
I think what we've seen is some significant increases in payments in recent times because the cap's gone up.
Yeah.
probably want to see that continue to go forward.
The other thing at the moment I think we're seeing is I think more movement ultimately probably leads to a good balance in where the money's being spent.
And so I think there's an opportunity maybe to have a bit more flexibility and freedom of movement and that will necessarily balance out with the money spent.
Is there a world where player contracts are capped at a certain number of years?
Don't think so, Tom.
No.
I just can't.
Players are really restricted.
And I hear...
some concerns.
I don't see it as a problem.
I know, again, I'll go back to my time at North Melbourne and I'm probably giving away too much of their stuff, but they've got Luke Davies, Uniak, Nick Larkey, Harry Sheasel all locked in long-term.
There's no problem with those long-term contracts.
More often than not, they're a real positive for both player and club.
There's the occasional outlier where they don't quite work.
We shouldn't be making changes to the rules just because of a couple of outlier situations that don't work overly well.
