Leigh spoke on FIVEAA about North Melbourne\u2019s reported \u201cgod father\u201d offer for Dusty:<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had an outstanding year — probably he and Dangerfield are leading all the awards\u2026 he\u2019s been close enough to the best player in the game,\u201d Leigh said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you bring in a player like that\u2026 it\u2019s very hard to fit together a really good team if one player is getting $1.5 million — 12 or 13 per cent of the salary cap.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom North Melbourne\u2019s point of view it\u2019s almost like an act of desperation. It was like when Tom Boyd was recruited by the Bulldogs\u2026 second year player, hadn\u2019t done much, million dollars a year. Frankly if it hadn\u2019t been for last September you\u2019d be saying that was a terrible failure.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just seems an enormous chunk of your salary cap top devote to one player. I don\u2019t know how you could do that and put together a good enough team to be top four.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
