Make 2 marquee signings, sign an NPL rookie and use money on Cowburn or whoever meets whatever the old Junior Marquee thing is and suddenly you have 2.5m of cap to spend on the remaining 18 players. We don't do that.
No wonder clubs like Melbourne and Sydney have so much better squads. If you have those 5 spots outside the cap, that's a full $30k per person extra you can spend inside the cap. Even more if you snag a Timmy Cahill Rule player.
