Bonus payments are virtually non-existent in the A-League - practically outlawed as they have to fall within the salary cap.  If you had too many players on bonuses, and you had a Sydney FC type season, you would blow your budget.

I was led to believe goal bonuses was quite a common thing still.

Robbie Middleby confirmed Ryan Griffiths was on a goal bonus at the Jerks.

I am 99% confident I remember that season Archie Thompson was meant to be mostly a bench player but scored 10 goals or so, and then they stopped playing him because he was going to push him over the cap?

And isn't bonuses such as goal bonuses the reason why the cap is monitored monthly, and why certain teams go over some months but not others? And isn't that in essence what happened to Perth when they got caught out (on top of Andy Keogh's Fashion Show)?

I almost certainly could be wrong. But I thought goal bonuses in particular were still a big thing.
