Merger and Relocation back on agenda

Sir Why You Little
in Melbourne Demons

Heard SEN this morning. That awful little creature Andy Maher who has the worst diction in the Media got stuck into Melbourne-We deserve it right now, that's not my point.

But it did Concern me that Apparently according to Patrick Smith the Merger-Relocation Money Bag has been put back on the table.

Lets face it the Loaded gun is pointing squarely at The Melbourne Football Club if we don't start Winning. Fact.

Our Name and our proud History will not save us forever. We must start winning and Gaining Respect or else its 96 all over again and i doubt we would survive if it got that far.

I want to support this club, and i will not support anyone if they are merged or relocated, infact if that happens i will support whoever plays against the new club.

I support the Melbourne Demons Period but we have to work to save it because right now we are critically ill.

Don't Hide from this fact-Fight instead.

    I know that we can't hide behind our name but I think it highly unlikely that a team called Melbourne will generate a strong following in the Gold Coast.

    Rest assured if we were sent to the gold coast we would be "The Gold Coast Demons" at best. Not much else would survive

    Yep, the Melbourne name would be dropped for the "Gold Coast" an I for one will not support us if we moved to the gold coast or any bloody where other than Victoria.

    Fight?

    Fight like mad, but then run out of energy when the initial membership flurry recedes(that's what will happen to NMFC at Arden Street)?

    Or be a bit more strategic and plan for survival (and in fact growth) in the longer term by making some major changes eg location (ie Casey Fields)?

    Apparentlly the Olympic Precinct Training Facility has not been signed off yet. So maybe Casey is the answer. Ime not trying to be a smart ass here. We are almost stuffed and i didn't realize how bad until this morning.

    The League don't want 18 Teams if they can get around it, and at the moment we are the Nomadic club.

    The tigers will have both Punt Road and an outpost out past Broadmeadows as well.

    It was kick the Deez in the guts day on SEN. Few of us showed our anger. Even my brother got on the promos

    I doubt they want an odd-number team either, and since they seem to have their hearts set on a Sydney team as well as a Gold Coast team, I don't see how one relocation would work so well.

    SEN were talking of serious Merger Relocation Talks-its back

    1 Merged club and 1 new club. Ime tipping we may end up in west sydney if it occurred as the gold coast would be easier to set up from scratch

    Who are we going to merge with? The Kangaroos have made it quite clear they aren't interested, and would rather die in Victoria than move interstate.

    I agree Ime just stating what i heard. I would never support a diluted club. If the Kangaroos dont sort out there shareholders stakes, they may not have a choice

    As Gary Lyon just said on the Footy Show, forget all the nonsense about mergers and relocations, Melbourne is not going anywhere.

    It doesn't matter how much money they throw at us, you do not sell your soul to the devil, and the AFL is most definitely the devil.

    Yeah, fair enough. I don't think I'd have much passion for AFL if we merged either.

    I think the Roos will get that side of things sorted.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
