Soft cap is still down around $2.5 mill a year on the 2019 spend allowance, even if we aren't paying Ouzo as much as we paid Dimma the difference would probably have been swallowed up in a hurry by paying each of our assistant coaches a little bit more to try n give them a halfway decent quid for their work. AFLHQ more than happy to make sure all their shiny arses get plenty of shekels for an overdose of not much , but when it comes to allowing clubs proper funding to run elite level footy departments there's a completely different set of rules.That was during covid that problem. We have no exuse now Yze not even close to Dimma salary wise.
Clubs that spend over their footy dept soft cap get " taxed " an extra 75 cents for every dollar they go over the budget.
