Looking at the top article which mentioned Richmond approached Fitzroy about potentially merging, I wonder if the new club that came out of that would be referred to as 'the Ligers'?

Don’t crossbreeds end up being sterile and eventually die off….  🥱

Mentioned by Eddie McGuire during post GF Fox Footy review. Said it was all but signed, sealed and delivered in the mid ‘80’s! Melbourne Kangaroos, play at MCG, train at Arden Street. For the life of me I can’t remember this being mooted. 
Can anyone fill me in please? (However, I well remember the Melbourne Hawks saga).

Of course Eddie may have just been trying to have a dig at the new premiers and making a bit of mischief (not sour grapes I hope)!

Not sure about signed and sealed, however I do recall it being shown on television some time during the 80s the potential jumper which was a North jumper with our red yoke, blue shorts and red sox

As Cuddles Connolly said about the old Freo anchor guernsey, 'Our colors clash with no other team in the league, they just clash with our own'. 😃
