Merger (takeover)
Re-branding. And I say that as a Fitzroy Football Club shareholder in 1996 and a shareholder of the very same independent club in 2019.
Still a little bit different to Footscray >>>Western Bulldogs though
Nup. The Brisbane Bears are the same club as the Brisbane Lions. They just have AFL permission to use Fitzroy's AFL owned identity. Fitzroy's licence to play in the AFL competition was withdrawn. They now play elsewhere.
GWS are no more manufactured than the Brisbane Lions are.
