Not the same as south Melbourne......though, in reality, given the main likelihood of north melbourne relocation, it could still turn out analogous
Yes its not South melbn, I know their was a lot of animosity when SM left, I'm told by footy friends in Melbn & Sydney that things changed slowly after 1996 GF loss. So I believe all the Swans supporters are more comfortable with the situation. Its about 'the bloods'. Its SM history is respected even though its now Sydney.
A NM move may end up like that in 50 years I suppose. remember Tassie is a mature footy state. Shoving NM here wouldn't gain huge support as most people would remain supporters of various clubs, sure some would by memberships, like with Hawthorn & NM now. Just token support. It'd take generations to develop properly. The current AFLW NM/Tas team is viewed with scepticism by a lot of people here.
