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....

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
