How much of this loss comes from members not re-signing because you play 4 games a year interstate?I know the AFL under writes these games but surely it must have affect on your members numbers.I would start aksing questions about your administration then complaining who you play twice.Lets face it for a even draw you need to play each team twice-which equals 30 games.But i think the Kangaroo's would be against this because Carey,Colbert and Mckernan wouldn't be up to it.Also who does your budget down there-Christopher Skase?Lets face it you don't make enough profit to pay the full salary cap or even 95% of it?Where does that leave you and the AFL and the players association on each club must pay 95% of the salary cap?I have a feeling you will be the next Fitzroy and that's sad.Move to Canberra now while your still kicking.Atleast the AFL will help you surivive.Also you may get to play Carlton,Collingwood and Essendon twice each year then.Then you wouldn't have a complaint.

yeah...whatever!
I wouldn't trust the AFL to support my club if they moved anywhere. Maybe theyd be good for the first year then lose interest.

Ihate to see a team go to the wall(i support the Tigers we've been there) but i keep hearing how good the roo's administration is, with a resonable 25K members, the AFL helping with the interstate game and the club being sucessful on the field i think questions have to be asked.

Carl,
Obviously your Junior brain hasn't fully developed which explains your total lack of understanding about the issues involving North. You think you are being clever but until you can make a logical and coherent argument stick to whatever little you know.
Normally I would counteract your points but in this instance it is waste of time as you wouldn't understand.

Norff fans are in a state of denial that their club is on the way out of Victoria for good or the AFL even if they keep their heads buried in the sand long enough.
They are in about the 1990-91 period that Fitzroy was in, couple years away from d-day.

Eagelheart,
This really is a normal week for North and their supporters. Every week, the snide remarks, s******s - one-man team, supporters fit in a phone box, Pagan is a tyrant, Carey ..., too old, no money etc etc.
Now you and maybe other supporters will understand, that North are not whinging, but are sick of the treatment.
We played and won tonight with the newspapers full of North's predicament.

Go Roos.
Can't express my feelings on this developement any more eloquently than that.
Has anyone ever noticed that Vultures pick over the carcasses of somebody elses prey? It's because they are incapable of competing with the prey in the first place.

Don't believe that the AFL would ever support a move (such as Canberra) unless there was a shitload of money, scarlet ladies, fame, fortune, cigars and people to walk on, for the AFL.
They will not support it if it doesn't increase their own coffers.
Just do it yourselves. Cripes, North have two flags in the 90's ... it's a different kettle of fish to us Roys. The chance is there. Make 'em look stupid.

For what it's worth, i'd love to see North survive as a Victorian club. I'll happily make a donation (no i'm not being sarcastic either, i put my hand in my pocket for Rich, Fitz and the Bullies in past years)
No doubt the AFL are privately licking their lips at the thought of a Vic. club falling over/merging or whatever. The loss of a club (ie: South Melbourne, Fitzroy) is a loss of a small part of the culture of our city. Good luck to North i say.
where's wally?
