Clueless. The AFL engineered that Fitzroy would merge with Brisbane by making the deal so attractive that Brisbane couldn't turn it down. All because the AFL didn't want Fitzroy to merge with North and make us even stronger as we'd just won the flag. Despite most Fitzroy fans wanting to merge with North to remain in Melbourne.
Not quite correct. Brisbane had an offer on the table to Fitzroy long before North came on the scene and for less that what North wanted". Brisbane wrote the deal, not the AFL.
