It would appear that the Storm have been cheating on the Salary Cap and have lost their last two premierships and three minor premierships as well as all points for this year, earned and in the future, WOW.

Could wind up creating some more elbow room in the gym at AAMI Park.

How does a club survive this??

I don't think they can why would you bother playing if you can't earn points? You may as well forfeit all games, who would bother going to watch a game that had absolutely no meaning. Wonder if they will have to release any player that wants to move on.

i dont condone the breaches but seems completely over the top and ridiculous, particularly not being able to earn points this yr. Would the penalty have been the same for a NSW club?

It has been done before to the Bulldogs.

You would expect nearly all there players would want to move on, coach included.

I Wonder what effects this will have on the new stadium? I would imagine it might create some issues

just read that players and coach didnt no wat was going on and the clubs future is in doubt as they are struggling to get sponsors and fine over $1millon.

you have to feel for the fans who love them

its just like melbourne demons not being able to pay debts and get no sponsors we were just lucky enough to get through it

it might be a different story for the storm.

The facts are that if NEWs Corp did not own the NRL the sport would have died long ago. Its a pathetic sport!

NEWs Corp has been proping NRL up for decades putting them on the back cover of the paper when few care (even in Sydney where I use to live) and ensuring great media coverage.

........and the winner in AFL!

Huh???

This is NOTHING like anything that has ever happened to MFC.

This isn't a team having financial difficulties, it's a team having 5 years of its history being erased totally for massive fraud.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
