I'm not sure... They're going to lose crowd numbers so

I HATE MELBOURNE! THEY SHOULD JUST STICK TO THEY'RE LOSER SPORT AFL
 
Canberra were busted in '91 then went on to win the premiershipin '94, the bulldogs were busted in'02 then went on to win it in '04 so will the storm also benefit in the next few years by building a strong team using unfair tactics, then hanging onto most of their stars to win another grand final?
 
The thing I don't understand is that the amount of 1.7million over 5 years only works out to a little over $300,000 a year which is hardly 1 decent players wage! I would be very surprised if most of the other clubs don't have under the table deals to keep their high profile players at the club.

It is unfortunate that with Melbourne doing so well they were put under the microscope more than other clubs. I'm pretty sure most clubs will hide there other filing cabinets in a safer place now!
 
They have to lose $700,000 worth of talent to come in under the Salary Cap for next year, and getting rid of a few minnows isn't going to do it.

The big-names would be on big contracts, and if any of them go, then the Storm will be up against it. Their supporter base is not terribly strong, and they'll need some passion and loyalty from their fans to survive.

I think they're going to have problems.
