Agree
Dead wood not even worth pruning
Needs to be lopped
Then bring in the stump grinder
And if there’s any sign of suckers in the following months - undiluted Roundup
The more I think about it the more I think this is the best solution. North hasn't got and will never have the supporter base to properly survive in the AFL.
I think relocation is the better long term option. Swans have kept their history and club identity for the most part. They were relocated at a time when it was much harder to stay in touch with their traditional fanbase.
Relocate & Merger. Lions fans would tell you that for the most part they feel they have lost their club.
Had North relocated to the Gold Coast back in, 2007 I think, there's a fair chance they would have established themselves better than GCS have and you'd have those under ~18yo supporting them as their local team. Good chance they would be a lot better off financially.
Given the option of a merger, relocation or demotion to VFL, I reckon relocation is the lesser of the three evils. The only caveat would be if Richmond was part of a merger and we kept our colours, our song, our Tiger, Punt Road and our name, then it might be more palatable.
Relocate to where?
Tassie doesn't want them. North doesn't want to shift to Tassie. Lose/lose situation.
NT is a long way from having its own team. Canberra makes a bit of sense, but undoes a lot of work done by GWS.
The relocation narrative doesn't appear to have a logical end point.
And maybe that's the problem #lolNorf have now. The Gold Coast option is no longer there. Tassie has gained a lot of momentum that the option to relocate there if probably shut now.
I just read that Richmond stopped a merger between Fitzroy and lolNorf back in the 90's. I wasn't in Aus at the time so I really know nothing about that.
Canberra was the place to relocate the Kangas to if they were going to go anywhere.
Big AFL following in the ACT with a decent comp.
Manuka is a good facility right smack bang in Manuka village next to Forrest with cafes restaurants and shopping plus 2 or 3 big Hotels within a 500 m walk to the ground.
Is just a hop skip and a jump away perfect for weekends away for the fans.
Canberra has a shitt tonne of kangaroos there too so fits nicely.
Canberra Kangas would've likely worked better than Tassie or Kwee Lan.
Taswegians on the whole already have strong VFL/AFL allegiances, and would only embrace their very own side, even then most would still be loyal to their Vic Teams and just support the Tassie side as a second team.
Canberra wouldnt have had that issue to the same level.

I keep hearing that but it would only be true for the current generation of supporters. The bulk of the next generation will get behind their local team.
Correct they will transition from a majority second team to the Primary focus but will take a bit of time.
Tasmania remember. They can have each head supporting a different team.
