Heard off a very unreliable source that there has been some talk of a merger between Port Melbourne and Melourne football clubs to be known as the Port Melbourne Demons.
Melbourne will assist in the $$ for the upgrades of the reserve.
This will become their training base, administration and VFL home ground obviously. Port Melbourne will still hold a team in the VFL and work just as Port Adelaide do in the SANFL yet finally (110 odd years later) be accepted into the VFL/AFL.
Any Port Melbourne members on record will recieve a discounted membership price, and Melbourne members to recieve a VFL membership.
On record Melbourne members to recieve discounted VFL membership.
5 Port Melbourne VFL listed players over the next 5 years MUST be at least rookied by the AFL club.
The details of Jumper etc are still to be negotiated, and Port Melbourne want TEAC recognised as a major sponsor on the Jumper.
Just what I heard. :roll:

Zero chance of this one happening.
Why would Melbourne think that a Port Melbourne merger would assist their long term survival? Surely this would not hold any advantage over their arrangement with the Zebras?
I reckon you can disregard this one.. I think the legalese term is "no basis in fact".
Peter Saultry and general manager Barry Kidd are both staunch Port Melbourne people, as long as they are still in control this merger would never come to fruition.
So true, knowing Barry Kidd, I can tell you what he'd say if this was even one-millionth of an inch towards becoming true, it'd be two words, first word would be "get", the second, well you figure it out.
:D Great Irish Joke that one. no need for further comment.
go zebs

I just know how passionate Barry is and bleeds Port Melbourne.
Can we get anymore news off this unreliable source because I really enjoyed that one!!

Good grief...where do these "reliable sources" come from

That term has to be one of the most used terms by journalists and it's something that we are being taught at uni not use too often.
I also heard that Kilsyth might be rejoining as they are killing them in 4th division (EFL).
They are 2nd last- get real.
Port Melbourne will always be Port melbourne and play at Port melbourne.
End of story !!!
