North on verge North

Good bye North

Despite speculation that the club shareholders will take the final decision on relocation, the board appears resolved that such a historic and momentous move would take place without consultation from its members

Gee didnt see that coming

Gold Coast Kangaspews. I'll still hate em.

It's relocate or die, simple as that.

Western Bulldogs will be the next to go, hopefully the Dawks move down to Tassie to shut up their arrogant supporters.

It has to happen, and realistically for North, the sooner the better. They don't want to get to the point that the old South Melbourne got to, when survival wasn't guaranteed. They should take the bull by the horns, then at least they can be the masters of their own destiny.

Shame for the North die hards, i guess all the real South fans (as opposed to the blow ins who chatter a lot) who saw it happen would feel sympathy too.

Good luck to them, hope it secures their future.

I definitely feel for them. It wasn't a pleasant thing to go through at the time. But it's better to have a relocated club than no club at all.

Yep, and you were right about picking their time.

Good move on their part.

Port.

Port.

Capper's antics should bring in the crowds.

Gold Coast Kangaspews.

They should call them the Northern Kangaroos, a name that has relevance to the Gold Coast but one that won't alienate Melbourne based supporters.

Why dont they call them the Gold Coast Kangaroos too alienate Melbourne based supporters,its worked well for the Sydney Swans.

This makes most sense because then people can still refer to them as 'the Northerners' or 'North'.

The AFL needs to move into the Gold Coast market quickly before the NRL can establish a stronghold.

Nah Layby. I say @@@@ em!!! (Say it outright, then I can't be pinged for avoiding the swear filter)

Disregarding the rights and wrongs about the Sydney move.

They were one of the 11 who voted to send South to Sydney, disregarding the South members vote.

They were also one of the 11 clubs who held their hand out for the Docs millions, and then 7 years later were prepared to vote in favour of the demise of Sydney.

What goes around comes around. I have nothing but total contempt for ALL of the Victorian based clubs. The more of these parasites that are forced to piss off to faraway places the better. My only sadnness is that they will not be forced to endure the hardships that Sydney faced in their early years trying to establish themselves in a foreign market. No doubt the AFL hand holding will continue.
