They should forfeit the game, well that use to be the rule.

From memory, the captain was supposed to ask the umpires for a count of players and if the other team had more than 18 on the field the score went back to zero.

Those rules changed years ago, it's only a free kick and 50 metre penalty as stated in the article.

Didn’t Worsfold try this once at West Coast?

Not sure, I played in a game where it happened.
There was a melee between the sides and our playing coach noticed one of the opposition bench players rushing in.
He knocked him senseless and called for a count and yep they have 19 players on the field.
