Then we are in total agreement

Both are VFL standard Saty, only way they will get senior games will be because of injury.

That's majority of games I can go to.

Four games from first 16 games that I will likely attend. Of the rest mostly likely tv . AFL will be happy.

Thats probably a very good reason not to get him.

The drip feed is well under way. I hate to save this but the AFL play this game well. There is a lull in AFL over the period between the Melb cup and drafting. So they release the fixture bit by bit to fill the gap. If it was ever a mystery that the fixture is all about maximising the audience for the media at the expense of people going to games this is it. They don't care about the problems of fans going to games on Thursday nights and Sunday nights. It's all about TV ratings first, last and in the middle. Why do I still buy a membership when I go to less than 50% of games? It's because after 60+ years I cannot stop trying to help the MFC. I have mentioned on a number of occasions how much joy I get from my GD's basketball. She has now moved up to a higher level team, they play Friday nights. I will be going to watch her games which will be played around the northern/ western suburbs as well as cities like Bendigo it is not a contest for my attention. All things AFL now run lower on the needs basis for me. One giant thing that impressed me about basketball at this level is how connected you feel to the players and staff. I don't feel connected to AFL any longer and this media first/ people attending last makes me less connected every year. Sorry for the ramble.

Yes a real chance at Manangatang this year.

I hope you are correct.

And the down side is?

Thank god I need another cold winter night game like a hole in the head.

You have a higher opinion than me ww. VFL level talent at best IMO.

I heard they were approached but declined. Something about ruining their reputations when they will soon hit the job market.

Never forget the Blazers!

It's way better than 7.30 on Saturday night.

What! Training is tomorrow?
