Merger with Carlton??

[Awesome_Wells]

I would not barrack for them. I hate Carlton with a passion and if i were to barrack for them id probably shoot myself.

But imagine the membership numbers, 45,000 easily.

"we are, the kangaroos. The all/old(?), dark, kangaroos." Doesn't sound too bad. Wouldn't like a merger with Carlton, the only team I could handle merging with is the Dogs, because we're in pretty much similar situations. That said, the financial benefits wouldn't be as large if we went that way.

I dunno.

Do you really wont that much dead wood, I mean the club has "won" 2 spoons in 4 years!!!!!!!

I dunno about 45 000 members, put it this way mergers dont go down well with members.

Carlton currently have around 30-33 000 members, the Roos around 22-25 000 right.

In theory they could have 50 000+, but in reality 50% of members drop off if a merger would go ahead.

In reality you's have just around 30 000 members, would members of the 2 clubs support a new club after playing as seperate identities for years.

Why not a navy blue jumper with a white kangaroo?

Excellent thread Lidge. Does get you thinking.

I was all for the Fitzroy merger when it happened as were basically taking them over and we would have had so many benefits from it. This is a different kettle of fish. Carlton are hated by all who barrack for North, I do have some sort of soft spot as the family barracks for them but love beating them more than any other club. I think had this been the Dogs, Hawthorn or even Melbourne you would almost definately say yes, but it's so difficult with a club like them. I'd probably just vote no simply because it is them.

As for the 8 players:
Walker
Lappin
Fisher
McGrath
Fevola
Stevens
Waite
Thornton

Maybe throw in Morrell and Teague for a bit of a laugh.

Re: Merger with Carlton?? Pffft !

Will prefer to give game away personally. NMFC name, tradition and everything else dies. This thread concept is a thinking act of terrorism. Civil War. Can't see stupidity prevailing. Besides, they are a proud mob who won't let any merger happen. Lock this thread up mods. Lidge has had a 'weak moment'. He is forgiven.

Would NMFC members say yes
