I can't believe that the club haven't made an offer so maybe he has been holding off due to offers elsewhere?

With 100,000 members and huge merchandise sales I can't see why we wouldn't have the capacity to exceed the soft cap and pay our coaches whatever is necessary to keep them.

Thought it was about 75% so if you spend 1 mill over the cap then the AFL will charge you an extra 750,000 in cap tax.Tigertough1974 said:That's how I understand it also however the penalty is very high, from memory it was in the range of 30-40 X the amount you go over, essentially meaning no one will go over...

What makes you think the club hasn’t made an offer , I’d suggest more like he hasnt signed it with rival options to considerpuregreen said:The assistant coaches contracts expire today. A bit of talk on the radio that Blake Caracella is yet to resign.

My tip is Caracalla will end up back at Brisbane (in a coaching capacity) at some point in the not too distant future. Fagan is their temporary coaching solution and I wouldn’t mind betting Caracalla is the man they want long term. Perhaps he heads up at some point as an assistant and the reigns are transitioned to him.BillyJean17 said:What makes you think the club hasn’t made an offer , I’d suggest more like he hasnt signed it with rival options to consider
