Moved Thread Mergers and relocations

[BigVic]

Yesterday was 26 years since Fitzroy merged with Brisbane to form the Brisbane Lions in which they operate to the present day. 40 years ago, South Melbourne relocated to Sydney to become the Sydney Swans.

Should the AFL look at relocating North to Tasmania as with Souths to Sydney to become successful. Both merger and relocation have been relatively successful.

No.

What an original thought. Did you think of this all by yourself BigVic ?

Tassie not interested in north.
North not interested in moving anywhere.
North just need to get their house in order.
Good decisions and hard work are all north need …

Move them out of AFL.

Look at the time frames ...

Move them out of AFL.

I am sure this has been mentioned a million times in other forums, let North still exist in their own right in the VFL - their 20k supporters can still support, which opens up a spot for a Tassie team in the AFL.

Merge BigVic into outer space !!!!



No merger should be considered, it will not set teams up for long term success.

Too much sand in Perth …

Nup. Once again. Fitzroy FC still exist in their own right playing at the Brunswick Street Oval in Melbourne. Next Fitzroy match there is on July 16th.

40 years ago, South Melbourne relocated to Sydney to become the Sydney Swans.

They did.

No. The AFL have no power to do that.

There was no merger. I've explained how and why many times before.
