We get first choice of their players.
Then it's ok with me!
If it was Melbourne Demons I wouldnt care what colours they are wearing. It wouldnt be us.
Sorry, quite right. Had 'melbourne saints' in mind.
Mind you after reading spacey's post how about we relocate to Alice Springs and be called 'the indigenous allsaints!
(pay off a few elders to welcome our best into the kin and draft the rest with the blessing of the afl). Easily get far bigger crowds than the giants.

Much better to be the strong part of a merge, and keep some tradition
Than be taken over at some stage....
That's a short cut to success and would not be very satisfying. Go talk to a die hard Fitzroy supporter. Sort of like winning by forfeit or against a team a few players short.

When "Sydney" won the flag and spent a few hours in Melbourne with their Melb-based supporters, I wonder how those supporters felt?
Was it empty and bittersweet?
I moved to Perth years ago and still miss family and friends, still in regular contact through social media, but it's NOT THE SAME.
I saw Iron Man 3, so did all my Melb friends, but we saw it 4000 km apart, we didn't see it together.
Technology can maintain the lines of communication to some extent, but that real sense of being WITH someone can never be the same. You can only share so much.
Even if we had 3D hologram skype, you can't replicate being in the car with someone, having a coffee or beer after the movie, etc.
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

I reckon their supporters down here loved it as much as we would if it was the saints winning. They didnt merge though. They just played in another state.
i would like to play the g more - melbourne saints would be fine - keep our jumpers - maybe the ones from last night --- re develop sandy for our training base

I barrack for St Kilda not the saints and especially not the Melbourne saints.
I would prefer to stay on the bottom of the ladder than watch the 'Melbourne Saints' win a manufactured flag… can't believe people are even open to the idea, obviously not the ones rattling the tins back in the 80's/90's trying to avoid exactly this scenario.
The coodabeens had a song back in the 80's for a new merged team. The club was to be called North Footskildaroy! Same teams under the pump then, as now. Personally, death before merger!!!!
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Yes, I remember it well. A Coodabeens classic. It was sung to the tune of Along The Road To Gundagai. Good times!
