In 1991, we secured shares in North Melbourne with a view to a hostile takeover.
In 1999, Ron Casey approached Pig’s Ask about a merger of the two clubs.
Elliot had 25% share of kangas after the failed merger of 1999, he sold them off soon after as the afl turned its back on mergers at the same time.

The Club, not Elliott, had 20% of North's shares for a decade. John Magowan bought the shares and became North's majority shareholder when he led the push to relocate North to the Gold Coast.
Both the hostile takeover and the merger were pies in the sky; the members/supporters - Carlton and North - wouldn't have accepted either.

The AFL's legal counsel Andrew Woods argued Young could have avoided a collision with Zurhaar altogether.
"What I submit is Young slows his body in a manner that makes forceful contact and one of the things he could have done to avoid contact is he could have veered to his left and accelerated out of the contest," Woods said.
Sounds reasonable to me ;D

Yes, that's what it seems on the face of it. ;D
One of the first things you learn as a young footballer is that if someone big is charging at you, the best thing to do is to step aside and then accelerate away from the contest.
I was quite good at it.
My nickname was the 'Accelerator'.
You wont get a lot of possessions, but you won't get injured or reported.
You may also get some nasty comments from your team-mates and supporters....but they're only words
....and best to avoid the coach for a whie

Yep, quite an absurd argument. Could have 'veered' and 'accelerated out of the contest'... all in a split second. Ridiculous, and likely physically impossible. Just because the game was at Marvel Stadium, it doesn't mean that Young possessed the evasive skills of Spider-Man. :

Horne Francis has crept up my list of opposition disliked players.... got a few Nth players on that list.
After Stocker cleaned up Thomas, Horne Francis tried to rag doll Stocker and didn't move him one bit

All from an empty suit who's probably never played the game. Idiot
