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 😛

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
