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!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
