I know for sure that the Hawks were definitely not in favour of it and The dees were by a big margin if i can remember rightly.

Hawthorn members voted 2300 to 200 against the merger on the night of the merger meeting. Proxy votes were running about even before the meeting. I don't know how many proxy votes were taken but I think it may have been about 2500 each.

I think it was around 70% No after the final votes were tallied, but there's a lot of people who will swear that there were some dodgy proxy votes to boost the yes tally.

Melbourne voted yes by about 52% - 48%, but once again the validity of the votes has been questioned.
