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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
