No, last time we played all our home games in Melbourne was 2011. We didn't sell any games interstate between 2008 when we'd rejected the push to relocate but still had a contract at Carrara, and 2012 when we started playing games in Hobart.
I've got an even better idea: The St. Northwestern Essencarlwoodmondthornbourne Bullsaintkangmagblubombtigemonawks. Just one club for everyone in Melbourne! Hundreds of thousands of members! Guaranteed to be financially secure forever!
I see a lot of people in here saying there are too many teams in Melbourne, very little explanation of why that is. Maybe you should explain that before you start talking about the future prospects of the North-Western Saint-Demons or whatever.
There's no deal that would've been attractive enough to make the crowds at Dallas Brooks Hall go home.
1. The club belongs to the members
2. The members don't want the club to relocate
3. There is no third step, that's the end of this story
it should be a rule that anyone proposing the death (merger/relocation) of a club offers up their own club first. if it's totally fine for existing supporters to support a rebranded entity, should be no issue right?
They couldn't just introduce a new club called Perth without stepping on the Perth Demons, which is why West Coast are called that in the first place. The AFL basically just got lucky that the old Adelaide and Fremantle clubs disbanded and their names were available.
Communism is completely a good thing, especially in a circumstance like this. I'm not sure the guys in charge down at the AFL would be capable of running it without getting greedy though.
