Kangaroos Hopping Mad after Triple Walk Out

Demon Dynasty
in Melbourne Demons

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 😛

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
