In 1996, two teams in the Australian Football League (AFL) were debating of a merger between the clubs. These teams were the Melbourne Demons and the Hawthorn Hawks. Melbourne were playing terrible throughout the 1996 season and were also in financial troubles. On the other hand, there was Hawthorn, which was playing not as bad as the Demons, but were in larger financial troubles. The merger was come at by a storm of fury by both sides. An anti-merger group was created by life time supporters of Melbourne, Mark and Anthony Jenkins and George Zagon. Their group, called the Demon alternative, caused the pro-mergers a lot of strife during the debates. On the day of the vote however, it turned out that the Hawks members stood against the merger and the Melbourne supports stood alongside it. Bu
