The Merger

News coming out of AFL is that some stage this year they will hold serious talks about a merger/relocation.

Now I don't know the teams it involves but the usual names are being thrown up (us, north doggies)

Not sure what to think about this one

    Hmmmm, trolling around for suckers are we Household?

    A merger can only happen if another team is introduced as the TV rights agreement requires an 18 team competition. Can't see that happening - but relocation of a team to Tasmania isn't beyond the realms of possibility.

    Can we merge with hawthorn again or even geelong. Then we'd be guaranteed of finals. There is enough money in the AFL pockets for all teams to survive. I think we are safe

    Wouldn't Essendon be a better choice ?

    They're going to be needing a coach and we've got one

    Let's merge with essendon. We can call the new team, the Melbourne Demons and use a red and blue strip.

    Sounds only fair.

    Stop taking threads off topic will you Bitty!!

    Maybe the AFL has come to the realisation that the GWS experiment is not working, so they are going to merge them with us, relocate the team to Canberra and call us the Melbourne Avenue Demons.

    A merger between the Melbourne Demons and the Western Bulldogs in which both teams' lists are combined would make for a pretty good side. Of course the obvious name for such a team would be the Melbourne.......Demons.

    The jumper would look a little like this:

    Of course it is legit!

    Two very different topics.

    Relocation - is a possibility. Tasmania perhaps, North Queensland perhaps. Darwin isn't big enough, Sydney's 2nd team has a long way to go, and Brisbane and Gold Coast are, well.... No one of course would be stupid enough to suggest a Melbourne team relocate to SA or WA. NZ is a long term proposition. NZ. So it is Tasmania (North is the most likely candidate) or North Queensland (!?!?) as the only short/medium term options. Country Victoria at a pinch I suppose, but really....

    Merger, is only a possibility if you get four teams down to two, or merge two teams to one, and introduce another team (The AFL is not going to go the TV networks with one team sitting out each week, that is lost revenue). So if you introduce another team, the question become where? (See previous paragraph).

    If you merge 4 teams in Melbourne down to two you risk not only loosing most of the fans of the two subordinate teams in the two mergers, but a lot of fans of the dominate teams in the merger. You can't expand a competition by destroying support in the heartland.

    The question that begs to asked here is Why? What is broken? What needs to be fixed?

  • Quote

    Or possibly the merger being considered is the establishment of a new super team, the Essendon Sharks.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
