Fitzroy-North Melbourne Kangaroos Football Club
- Fitzroy-North Melbourne Kangaroos Football Club
Fitzroy-North Melbourne Kangaroos Football Club was to have been made up from the merger of the North Melbourne Football Club and the Fitzroy Football Club, which eventually merged with the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions. The merger would have taken place in 1996 and the club would have debuted in 1997. But the merger didn't eventuate as Fitzroy was placed in administration during the 1996 season and the administrator accepted a merger offer from the Brisbane Bears. North Melbourne continued playing in its original state.
