Given that the pres, board, CEO and football department were more or less hand picked and paid for by the afl, if there was a push from the afl for mfc to become the new northern territory franchise who at the club would stand in their way?

They were helped into their positions by the AFL for one simple reason. To repair and rebuild Melbourne into a flagship team . Its is everything that Football in Melbourne ought to be about ( when we're up and going )

This is nothing about readying a ship to sail north.

I can think of about 35000 + that woud stand in their way

About the same chance as Hawthorn have of becoming the Tasmanian Hawks...?

We're playing up there to secure more and continued funding from Tourism NT, not to move up there. That's just foolish. Any venture that would see more than 3 games played in the top end will be a disaster for players' health, and the other clubs won't stand for it, even if Melbourne were to fold. The fact that temperature will increase in the next century won't make it any more viable...

Firstly the members would have to vote for it.

Secondly the AFL wouldn't force a move that is detrimental to their interests. Why would they move a team with 35k members with the chance to increase to 40-45k to a place where two men and a dog would show up to watch any game. Also advertisers don't give a crap about the ratings points in NT so it won't increase the TV rights therefore I don't think there's any risk of being sent to the NT permanently.

Before it even comes to that good Dr, the AFL has to have the desire and NT the market.

It's like these idiots running around saying Tassie will get us.

There is no market to capture; it is already AFL-oriented, the commercial opportunities are limited, and the AFL is a little pre-occupied - in both attention and money - with their investment in GWS and GC.

Both of which should get a team before markets that cannot support a team gets one - like NT, Tasmania, and ACT.

The AFL would never do away with the Melbourne brand as it is too important, particularly when the MCG is the spiritual home of football (and we started off as the MCC Football Club). If we realy are expected to embrace Darwin, i would be prepared to see us become the Melbourne Salties (salt-water crocodiles) as a team that nobody tangles with!

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
