Lake was last year, so this year's cap already included him. Griffen apparently stayed for a lot less than he was offered elsewhere. Not sure on Cooney, but I thought he already had a new contract done after his Brownlow, so wouldn't be in line for a massive increase.
2 pay rises you would think would be a fair bit less than 3-5 full salaries

Not sure if I explained that too well, but say he's on 400K a year & one team says we'll pay $350 of that, Brisbane may be prepared to accept a pick of about 30 & if another team says we'll only pay $250 of his salary, Brisbane might want a pick around 20. Just use those picks/figures as a guide to illustrate my point, forget the actuals as they may be nowhere near right.
My point exactly. Your numbers don't sound unreasonable either, which would mean it's either the higher salary and the Harbrow pick, or a Everitt/Hill pick if things like pick 18 from Carlton are accurate

By the sounds of it, Brisbane would be well inclined to accept a lesser deal to make that happen, which actually puts us at a disadvantage compared to sides like Melbourne who forward-ended contracts this year to meet the minimum TPP
If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.
