St Kilda president Andrew Bassat confirmed the club's commitment to pursuing top players while maintaining a minimum salary cap spend of 95% this year. This strategy aims to build a financial reserve for future acquisitions. Despite recent unsuccessful attempts to sign star players, Bassat highlighted the addition of Jack Macrae as a significant achievement. He emphasized the importance of a solid foundation through effective drafting over the past four years. Bassat also called for reforms in the AFL's father-son and academy drafting rules, arguing for greater equity. He believes that changes are necessary to ensure fair competition and prevent certain clubs from gaining undue advantages.
