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

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

What prompted this realisation?

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
