The proposed relocation of the North Melbourne Football Club has been an ongoing issue for both the club and the Australian Football League (AFL) since the 1980s. The North Melbourne Football Club has been involved in several proposals, especially during times of financial and on-field difficulty to relocate to secure its future. Relocation of Melbourne-based clubs has been an agenda for the AFL since the presidency of Allen Aylett in the early 1980s. Due to the national expansion of the Victorian league (VFL) to become the AFL it had a legacy of 10 of its 16 AFL clubs during the 1990s based in Victoria, which was seen as unsustainable over the longer term. The AFL has consistently pushed for its Melbourne based clubs to relocate interstate, offering significant incentives. North Melbourne

| - The proposed relocation of the North Melbourne Football Club has been an ongoing issue for both the club and the Australian Football League (AFL) since the 1980s. The North Melbourne Football Club has been involved in several proposals, especially during times of financial and on-field difficulty to relocate to secure its future. Relocation of Melbourne-based clubs has been an agenda for the AFL since the presidency of Allen Aylett in the early 1980s. Due to the national expansion of the Victorian league (VFL) to become the AFL it had a legacy of 10 of its 16 AFL clubs during the 1990s based in Victoria, which was seen as unsustainable over the longer term. The AFL has consistently pushed for its Melbourne based clubs to relocate interstate, offering significant incentives. North Melbourne has been a regular target of the league due to financial and on-field pressures throughout the latter 20th and 21st century, and as such has been involved in interstate relocation or merger proposals similar to that of the Sydney Swans in 1982 or the merger of the Brisbane Lions in 1996. For several proposals, most notably an AFL-supported relocation to the Gold Coast, Queensland in 2007, the issue has been put to a club member vote. Since the Kangaroos rejected the Gold Coast resulting in the admission of the Gold Coast Suns there has been a push from the AFL for the Kangaroos to relocate to Tasmania in preference to awarding the Tasmanian AFL bid a license. However the club has rallied and strongly resisted all proposed relocation attempts. (en)
