MELBOURNE has been given two years to pay the $500,000 fine imposed on the club this week following an investigation into tanking claims.
The fine - the third biggest handed down in AFL history - will be paid in two instalments.
One-third of it is expected to be payable by the end of this year and the balance by the end of 2014.
An AFL spokesman said yesterday the league and Melbourne were working through the details of paying the fine.
"It will be paid in two payments," he said.
"It might be that two-thirds is paid this year and one-third next year or the other way around," the spokesman said.
"Details of the payment is still being worked out."
The fine will go into the AFL's consolidated revenue, and not to charity as some people have suggested.
Radical tax footy's hot seat
Melbourne revealed a modest profit of $19,000 for the 2012 season at the club's annual general meeting earlier this month.
Late club president Jim Stynes led campaigns to rid the club of its multi-million-dollar debt.
The AFL ruled after its seven-month investigation that Melbourne did not tank in 2009 to gain draft benefits.
Signed form may save Dons
But former Melbourne football department boss Chris Connolly and former coach Dean Bailey received suspensions for their involvement for acting in a manner prejudicial to the interests of the AFL.
Connolly, who ran the club's Foundation Heroes fundraising arm that has raised millions to bring Melbourne's debt under control, cannot work for Melbourne for 12 months, while Bailey cannot have any coaching or player role with Adelaide, where he is an assistant coach, for the first 16 rounds of the season.
It's understood that Connolly is a good chance of continuing his commentary role on Friday night football with ABC radio.
He has been given full support by his colleagues in the ABC's sports department.
