FOOTBALL SUPER MERGER?

Australian Rules Football super club?

I wanted to bounce a crazy idea and would appreciate any feedback from readers, a super Australian Rules Football merger or joint venture between the two existing clubs Melbourne Demons and North Melbourne Kangaroos to be called Melbourne United Kangaroos (MUK) with a playing strip of all blue? Perhaps Port Melbourne in the Victorian Football League could act as a feeder club? 

It could be a successful joint-venture like Wests and Balmain in the National Rugby League (NRL) of Australia; both Melbourne and North Melbourne would still exist but would "sponsor" a joint team in the Australian Football League. It could be a powerhouse with the pooled resources. The names are almost the same and both share blue as a major colour.

Your thoughts?
