Posted

On 693 radio on Wednesday night most of the talk was of Melbourne moving to Queensland.

This was because we had; No members

No Money

No training facilities at the moment

Will this happen?

What happened to the Roo’s

Thoughts???????

 

well seeing that all the presidents today agreed on having an 18 team competition i see this as unlikely

Don't kid yourself that this can't happen. It can and will unless we get our act together very quickly.

 

Melbourne is the capital of Victoria. Victoria is where Footy was invented. The Melbourne Football Club is the oldest registered Football Club in the world. There will ALWAYS be a Melbourne Football Club.

Saying that, I don't for one minute think that the Melbourne Football Club is not in fear of merging with another club!

- Melbourne Kangaroos???????

- Melbourne Hawks???????

- Melbourne Tigers????????

- Melbourne Bombers??????

- Melbourne Saints???????

- Melbourne Cats????????

- Melbourne Blues????????

- Melbourne Bulldogs???????

- Melbourne Mag - [censored]! I would rather the club fold than be his one!

Geez, I hope none of these ever happens.

Since they now want 18 teams, merging would reduce the number, so it is off the agenda. Also, as they want the team on the Gold Coast to be a real Gold Coast team, based there, that lets us out.


Its nothing more than someone making it up to create news at the moment. Having said that, there is no doubt that if the club continues to wallow down the bottom of the ladder and continues to have the most fickle and underwhelming supporter base in the league, then it is a distinct possibility down the track.

And yes, I am pointing the finger at some particular posters who refuse to renew memberships because of their own self pity.

while we still have a way to go to get our club in the shape we want, we are still a long way off from being forced into relocation...

 

Won't happen. Although, with this current AFL administration, anything is possible.

dont think its that they want 18 teams. they just want to get teams into sydney and gold coast so they have more exposure. Re-location definiely still possible for someone seeing as they want it done in a hurry....

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
