Fitzroy Bulldogs
The Fitzroy Bulldogs was a proposed Australian rules football club which was to have formed from the merger between the Fitzroy Lions and the Footscray Bulldogs, and was to have competed in the Victorian Football League from 1990. The merger was arranged in October 1989 to avert the imminent financial collapse of the Footscray Football Club, but was abandoned within three weeks of its announcement, after Footscray supporters raised almost two million dollars and secured sponsorship and funding to ensure their club's solvency and viability into the future.
==Background==
Until the 1980s, the Victorian Football League was nominally one of several equivalent top level state-based Australian rules football competitions in Australia, administed at a national level by the National Football League; but the higher population and greater money available in Melbourne meant that the VFL was effectively the highest level of competition in Australia, able to attract the strongest players from interstate. Throughout the 1980s, the VFL began to expand to teams based outside Victoria: the league looked to establish a new club in Sydney in 1982 before the South Melbourne Football Club elected to relocate there instead (becoming the Sydney Swans), and newly established clubs based in Perth (the West Coast Eagles) and south-eastern Queensland (the Brisbane Bears) were admitted to the league in 1987. This created a flurry of speculation in the late 1980s as stakeholders in Adelaide, Fremantle, Canberra and Tasmania all looked to join what was becoming a ''de facto'' national league.
At the same time, the rising cost of players and administration was severely affecting the weaker clubs as the league nationalised around them. As many as half of Melbourne's eleven VFL clubs faced financial ruin at different times during the 1980s: it was financial pressures that drove South Melbourne to relocate to Sydney in 1982; more than $1,000,000 of debts and the effect of losing the Junction Oval as a home ground almost drove to relocate to Brisbane or merge with in 1987; and , and all struggled with high debts. Many clubs were saved from bankruptcy only by the dividend they received from the $4,000,000 dollar licence fees charged to Brisbane and West Coast, and from the $4,000,000 earned when the Sydney Swans club was sold to Dr Geoffrey Edelsten in 1985; but these cash injections provided only temporary relief, and did nothing to address the ailing viability of the clubs.
