With 15-year-old Brodie playing colts and some seniors football, and his father Marty one of the club's runners, it seems only natural the rest of the clan would jump on board as well.
Mother Ange, son Lachie, 12, and daughter Hunter, 7, also volunteer around the club, helping out wherever they can.
''It is a very close-knit football club and they are appreciative to anyone that is willing to help out,'' Mrs Palfreyman said.
''It is very family-orientated and everyone is always welcome, and we really do love the club.
''It feels like it has been around longer than it has and everyone gets involved to help.''
Mrs Palfreyman said it would be ''massive'' if the Storm could win the premiership on Saturday against North Launceston.
''We might not have the support base of the other clubs, but there is still a real buzz around the club.''
Mrs Palfreyman, who praised both the work of coach Mitch Hills and general manager McGee, expected the Storm to win a ''tough and close'' game by a single figure margin.
