I know mergers are off and all but....
If Joe pulls the pin, what would Melbourne fans think of an alliance with Norwood. I seem to recall Melbourne previously being called the redlegs anyway. They would play Port & the Crows twice and could play the "Home" fixtures of these games in Adelaide, thereby ensuring huge gate receipts.
I am sure that if it were a formal alliance, endorsed by the Norwood Football club then plenty of now Crow (I assume there are no Port) Norwood supporters may jump ship...particularly if they also played say the home game against Freo & West Coast in Adelaide as well (therefore 5 or 6 games a year).
Norwood, last time I checked anyway, had plenty of cash they could tip into the equation.
To me, this seems like a very minimalist way to merge, without losing your colours, name, or having to relocate.
What do you think ?
