This is purely a hypothetical to gauge what posters feelings would be if the club became unviable

    become ?? thought that was our status quo !!! :mellow:

    So after making good strides this year as a club we are now going as far as being hypothetically 'unviable' after one terrible performance at the end of the year?

    God help us.

    I would prefer a move to Tassie over a merge or folding. But I'm from WA so it wouldn't affect me as much as if I was living in Victoria. Completely understand Melbournites being up in arms at a relocation, but that would be my preference.

    not really ...its a perennial question

    there is no suggestion that anything like this is imminent or even desirable

    however the subject keeps getting raised here and certainly in the broader community

    of course no-one here wants it (i think)

    i've had swans and fitzroy friends......the majority eventually jumped on board

    .....but if we had to face it.........what is the sentiment

  • Quote

    All or nothing. The whole point of following the club is the combination of colours, song, ground, heritage, etc. Players come and go, but the other aspects have been fairly constant. I'd rather have nothing than some bastardised version.

    I wonder if those selecting interstate realise it will no longer be "Melbourne" ?

    if worse comes to worse it is best to relocate to northern Queensland. I would be happy to spend my winters in Port Douglas when I am retired.

    i know....it's not easy

    have a cup of coffee and try again (there is always the don't care/don't know options)

    Merge with Port Adelaide and become Port Melbourne... the added benefit for certain posters on here would be that we finally get Ollie Wines.

  • Quote

    Yeah, sorry, DC - we had a bad loss on the weekend but things are not as bleak as they were this time 12 months ago, or 18 months ago (pre-Jackson)...

    In fact, we are in much better shape, both off and on the field.

    Not having a bar of this.

    (I am aware it is just a hypothetical)

    There is no such thing as an "unthinkable hypothetical".

    To form a hypothesis one must expend some thought or imagination.

    To do so without this mental exercise is impossible.

    As it is to answer DCs poll.

    Therefore DC,

    No Brainer.

    there's no compulsion biffo, you can relax....no need for you to expend any intellectual property. i know how you value its retention

    maybe i could come up with a hypothetical poll on the gat....now that is not worth thinking about

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.ย

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
