Fallen Brisbane veteran Lincoln McCarthy is about to embark on an audacious plan to return to football in 2025, harnessing Sam Docherty's rapid recovery, and trying to better it, as his inspiration.

If he'd accepted the contract, it would have immediately made Callaghan the highest-paid footballer in the league with the longest contract.

Dustin Martin playing for Gold Coast in 2025 is unlikely, but it has not yet been categorically ruled out by the club or his management. Martin told 9News last month he is "happily retired", while privately and publicly Gold Coast has echoed similar sentiment. When pressed on Tuesday, nobody involved in decision making in either camp was willing to draw a line through the possibility of the three-time Norm Smith medallist playing on.
