West coast will finish bottom, they're a joke. How can a team as resourced as this club..be this bad. Not even we were. Simpson has to go.

Justin Langer is on the board. He doesnt like seeing coaches boned.

A reminder that Simpson is contracted until the end of 2025 in a deal worth in the vicinity of $800,000 per season. If West Coast cut ties early, it could cost the club up to $6 million due to the luxury tax they would need to pay on top of any payout.


But if any club can afford the payout and the tax it's West Coast. And surely they will make the move if this rout continues.

Not disputing your $6m cost to club but can you show how you came to that figure. Thanks.

Luxury tax, 6 mill would make him set for life.
Wonder what the Lixury tax is in Adelaide?
No way could we afford that much to get rid of Ken, be cheaper hiring a hit.

Seems to me the word 'could' is doing a lot of work in that statement.

If Brisbane win both Collingwood and Melbourne will be out of the 8.
It’s Sydney and then a traffic jam.

C’mon Lions, smash the soulless franchise led by a liberal crook

That huge luxury tax figure was if they paid him out at the end of last year, not this year. The payout figure for 2024+25 was estimated in the media to be between $2mil and $2.5mil.

The luxury tax component on a $2mil payout that blew the soft cap by only $2mil was;
75% first $100k over =$75k
100% next $150k over =$150k
150% next $250k over = $375k
200% next $1.5mil over = $3mil
Total tax = $3.5mil luxury tax to go with a $2mil pay out to Simpson.

If it was a $2.5mil salary pay out, the luxury tax would have been $4.5mil for a total cost of $7m.

Then there is the escalating penalty if you go over the cap amount for a 2nd and consecutive 3rd year. The rates for the above threshold become even more punitive and were;

75%/150%/225%/300% in the 2nd year of overspend
75%/200%/300%/400% in the 3rd year of overspend

The AFL announced in February the luxury tax would be cut, but didn't make the rates public, and also allowed for 20% of the head coaches salary to be moved outside the expenditure cap limit. The Clarko and Dimma affect rather than the sack Simpson affect. That's why it will be easier for WCE to sack Simmo in September this year compared to last year. I started a thread in February about it here;

Analysis - Football Operations Soft Cap limit / Luxury Tax thread

I listened to AFL Coaches Association CEO Alistair Nicholson today on Whateley and he brought up that the AFL had introduced last year, that 20% of the head coaches salary can now sit outside the soft cap limit. Here are the changes announced in November. It allows for manipulation by all clubs...

Interesting to see how the Crows go up North.
Melbourne where fantastic up their last week.But couldn't hold on in the end.
Looks like Brisbanes plan is to blow the Camrys away early.Mids and back flankers running fwd aggressively.
See if the Crows can hurt them the other way going back.

 

[JimmyBC]

This guernsey clash is insane lol both with blue on the front & yellow numbers on the back wtf is it with this code.

Geez Rachelli might be a good finisher in front of goal.But he avoids body contact ,Every chance ,he gets

Was from an article last year:
