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 Melbou

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

nah its legit

So you can confirm that people at AFL HQ are talking about possible talks this year about a club being relocated or clubs merging at some point in the short to medium term future?

If you do not wish to give your source, or who is talking about these possible talks, would you mind narrowing down what they might be talking about? And when, after the talks become fruitful, these talks come to fruition?

Up until 2017 there HAS to be 9 games per week for at least 18 weeks a year due to the contractual obligations to FOXTEL.

If this was a topic discussing whether it should be considered it'd flow, but this is absolute crap.

Mods, I've been given warnings for putting up information and not backing it up, these threads ruin Demonland.

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

Another merger thread HD?

From studying your post and profile picture I can only come to one conclusion:

You are either Mark Neeld or a deluded Mark Neeld 'brown shirt' who is seeking revenge and will stop at nothing in order to take down the mfc.

Feel free to fill in the blanks but I think I hit the nail on the head.

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.

They could merge two and put Tassie into the open slot but good luck getting Hawthorn to exit Tasmania while they're making millions out of it.

Having said that I wouldn't put it past the AFL to do a screwjob deal with the Tassie government behind Hawthorn and North's back to give them a team if that's what they really wanted - which I'm not sure they do.

I refuse to believe a legit MFC supporter can look at an avatar of Neeld without feeling disgust and needing to change it.

Not necessarily for the man himself, but what he represents for the club.

Some people believe that The Church of Scientology is a legitimate religion in which they will all ascend to outer space.

Great clubs have great and chequered histories.

Move on.

Only place this sort of stuff flows is to Werribee

has it happened yet?

Someone let me know when it does please. Don't wanna rock up to the Round 1 game in my "now old" 2014 MFC jumper, that'd just look silly.

Especially when we are playing out of Croke Park in Ireland...

You seem more obtuse than usual, Biffen.

Have a rest.

Did somebody take a pizz in your morning glass of vinegar?

Or do you just go through life whinging about others?

That explains plenty.

I hope you have not fallen prey to a Miscavige of justice.

Given your contacts DF, perhaps you could organise some sponsorship from Thetans inc.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe
