You really couldn't make this shit up.

Perth chief executive Russell Clark is set to depart the club as the fallout from a salary cap investigation threatens to undermine the club’s first season under new coach Mark Stone.

And grand finalist East Perth are also facing severe sanctions over allegations they failed to record legal payments to help midfielder Michael Randall defend a drug charge.

Both clubs could start next season on minus 12 points given that they are understood to have breached the 2023 salary cap by up to $20,000.

WAFL rule 5.8 states the penalty for a total player payment breach between $10,001 and $40,000 is 12 premiership points, the equivalent of three wins, a reduction of 15 player points and a fine of up to $50,000.

The recent history of WAFL salary cap breaches suggests that a substantial point penalty would effectively end the team’s season before it started.

Salary cap breaches?! How do you manage to break the salary cap with a group of players getting us near bottom every season!?

Maybe they thought they could purchase an additional 12 points if they overpaid by 20k?

This was the legacy my father left me goddamn it.

Perth will never compete for a flag the way they recruit, ex afl players who are cooked, older players from other teams that cant get a game. The reserves team should be a second colts team start building a team full of youth. Unless they change they may as well fold. Never thought id say that since i have supported the red legs since the 60's
 
The penalty will carry over for the next few years, Perth are super spuds. They need massive changes to the club before we can compete again.
