Carlton star Patrick Cripps says he has no concern about the hefty contract that Giant Stephen Coniglio would command if the free agent decides to join the Blues.

Cripps, who is Carlton's highest-paid player but has accepted less than he could command to stick with the Blues, said winning games was more important than money and that he did not care what a player like Coniglio might be paid if he came.

Carlton's offer to Coniglio is understood to exceed $1 million a season - sources dispute that it is in the reported range of $1.3 million a season - which would comfortably make him Carlton's highest-paid player ahead of their champion co-captain Cripps.

"Any year we'll add top talent to our list and I think if Coniglio went to any club, they'd take him with open arms. Oh, look, I'd love to play alongside him,'' Cripps told The Age.

"Players like that, I don't care what they pay players. You want good players at your club and like I said, the whole thing, it's winning, winning is lot funner than I suppose the money you're on.
