Maybe they could be two shades of green.

1. We play at Mitchell Park You can have select handful of home games each year, plus your own separate jnr football entity to remain. Sacred Heart will assume Mitchell Park as the home ground during winter to ensure the ground continues to gain usage.
2. Mitchell Park is in the name Can't see why/how a hyphenated 'Marion-Mitchell Park' wouldn't work
3. We wear green Being the predominant colour of Marion, this shouldn't be a concern.

ty

pls read post above, in particular, point #1

You'll be offered up as trade bait, so your rules wont matter

Is the new Sports Hub going ahead at MP?

I'd be very surprised. At least not the plan they consulted with.

Most clubs are too proud to go down that path and mergers become about people rather taking up the fight and dying than swallowing pride. This time last year we were talking about the Pulteney/Glenunga supposed merger talks. We all know the result of that.

Marion would have some of the best facilities in the AdFL, so no need to upgrade MP.

Very true, but people should but the pride and egos aside and think about longevity for the future. Players aren't loyal these days, so what value is there in members remaining loyal to a bygone era?

Pulteney and Glenunga came out pretty good this year, but Glenunga are on the rise as a club, and Pulteney despite winning the flag will continue to be a battling club with no juniors, no clubrooms, average facilities and not a great connection with the school football program.

Some clubs just seem like "right" fits for each other i.e. Mawson Lakes/Para Hills, Mitchell Park/Marion, hell even North Pines/Central United
