Kangaroos Hopping Mad after Triple Walk Out

Given North's on field struggles, plus the financial struggles they will face if Tasmania is given a licence and North lose that funding to play in Hobart, their best foot forward may be a merger.

Given GWS have played in multiple finals series and still can't generate any support and are on AFL financial life support, I think this could be a perfect match. Being associated with a club with some form of history worked for Sydney once, maybe they need to see if lightning can strike twice and rebrand GWS?

Keep the North Melbourne jumper and become the Western Sydney Kangaroos or if you want the prospect of playing more games in Canberra (given its the only place they can get half a crowd) maybe the North Murray Giants?

This opens the 18th spot for Tasmania and in theory everyone is happy. Except the couple of Melbourne based North supports I guess.

    I suspect a new AFL CEO and a new broadcast rights master partner may see North put on a slow drip, like Fitzroy was. Financial hurdles put in place purely coincidentally just above what the club can afford. Then an ultimatum.

    What rubbish, a strong competition is better for everyone.  

    That's all well and good but only if we're stronger....

    It is a good point that whilst Nth is solvent now, I wonder how much they are relying on the Tas Gov sponsorship..

    Two of my brothers are lifelong North supporters.  They have basically given up, find it difficult to care any more and see no future for their club in its current form.  I can't help but feel for them.

    You don't think the name Very North (of) Melbourne will work?

    I mean, they could probably do with some change in their recruiting and list management department tbh...

     

    Unless they were indeed undermined by top management and not able to do their job properly 😛

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
