    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

    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.

    I think it's about time Damian Barrett changed his avatar...

    And yes! This thread just needs a little ENYAW to top it off.

    Maybe some mjt rambling too.

    man i miss that guy.

    Yeah, reading his meanderings is like being on drugs without the expense or risk of arrest.

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
