Team Melbourne

I applaud the board for being innovative enough to get this concept off the ground.

I still think it will benefit the other sporting clubs moreso than us, but this is not a criticism.

For example, some sort of combined membership might get me to head along to the occasional basketball or netball game, but i can't imagine supporters of any of those other codes not already having exposure in some way to AFL.

no Melbourne Victory as yet?

no Melbourne Victory as yet?

They don't want in.

i'm disappointed that two clubs i love can't have an alignment but can understand why its probably not in the best interests of the Victory to join up

Looks like most MVFC fans are happy that they haven't joined, going by their website

MVFC fans website

im happy with the storm joining in , there destroying the nrl competition this year as per usual

im a proud melbournite, i support anything with the melbourne name in it

with all due respect to soccer, and soccer fans in general, that board reminds me of the collingwood boards...

this is really a great exercise in synergy. I wholeheartedly believe that this will reaps dividends hand over fist in the medium to long term.

The "Brand" MELBOURNE is probably unrivaled in Australia. International audiences know of the Australian Open in...Melbourne. The F1 Grand Prix. in ..... Melbourne. Recentlly the world swimming champs in...Melbourne. The MELBOURNE Cup. What Cricket fan in the world doesnt know the MELBOURNE cricket ground !!.

if you want something done in sport...it gets DONE in Melbourne !!

Even the Rugby has its largest crowds in good ol Melbourne.

The potential to market MELBOURNE is really just phenomenal. People may laugh and think Im just a little crazy ( proabably not withot merit !! ) ... but this is truly a significant achievement. Congratulations and thankyou to those involved.

Those that havent joined.. who cares...you'll be screaming and banging on the door in time !!

what about the Bushrangers, i know its not melbourne, but it is vics cricket team

the heavy duty coprorate oozing and schmoozing that will eventuate from this will bring th eMFC into contact with Sponsors and opportunities it could only have ever dreamed of !!

Eddie everywhere must be spitting chips !!! hehehehe

i wonder what the new netball team will adopt as team name and colours ?

what about the Bushrangers, i know its not melbourne, but it is vics cricket team

Netball Victoria is included so there's no reason they couldn't be.

thgere was a rumour few years back of a super 14 team in melb,

think that fell through though in favour of perth

The Long term Benefits of this alignment will be HUGE. Just wait till those new facilities are built. This may have saved the demons Long term and given them another chance at being a Power Club-Like "Big Kev" I'm Excitwd
