Whilst the majority of North Melbourne supporters are against relocation to the Gold Coast (many on the grounds that such a move is suicide) it is no surprise that there are still some fans who believe relocation to be 'inevitable'.
It is also no surprise that many non-North football followers buy into this 'inevitability', as these people are less likely to look into the facts, but instead simply believe whatever they read or hear in the mass media.
Why is it no surprise? Take a look at just how often this 'inevitability' is drummed into the heads of the public. Caroline Wilson has written no less that two dozen articles in which she has claimed all manner of things, over and over, about North Melbourne's supposed relocation plans, including
*The relocation is a 'certain' thing,
*North Melbourne Board members are 'resigned' to relocation.
*Arden Street redevelopments are a 'pipe-dream'
*North Melbourne has 'lurched from crisis to catastrophe' over the years and 'boasts hopelessly low profile and poor market brand'
*The AFL is 'ploughing $9.6 Million annually into the Kangaroos'
*'The move North would guarantee the club's shoestring administration untold AFL assistance, ultimately vastly improved facilities, a warmer climate and - potentially - draft concessions'
The list goes on and on. Every time she mentions North it is to paint us in a negative light. She rarely refers to the Gold Coast without claiming that it is 'certain' or 'inevitable'. She never quotes her sources and rarely even names any names when making her ridiculous claims. She continues this charade on radio and on television.
Knowing this we can see why so many people still, despite all of the relevant facts and figures pointing to the contrary, believe that a Gold Coast relocation would be a 'good' thing for North Melbourne and that it is 'inevitable'. It is because clowns like Caroline Wilson, who are little more than propagandists for the AFL, continually try to drum it into the football public's heads.
To those of you who still believe relocation is a 'good' and 'inevitable' thing, or that we are destined for 'ruin' if we stay in Melbourne- don't be ashamed. You have been manipulated by Caro and Co., along with many others. But the Truth is spreading, and the propagandists like Caroline Wilson are slowly being shown to be the true AFL whores they are.
