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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
