Dunkley and Rivers
You might be a little early with that Mr. Leg. I reckon there are 4-5 who are just making up the numbers. I will hold off till June before I wholeheartedly join you.

Didn't Yeats coach Sandringham to a flag?

Melbourne - Prahran connection
The great days of the VFA long gone sadly. Unfortunately the ground is too small or it could have a good site for our training ground/ home.

2020 Melbourne Membership Packs
Ok, I never cease to be amazed by why the club makes this promise. All I need is it delivered before the first game. Why they don't make this an opt in for delivery before Christmas amazes me. They seem to have never heard the old business statement of under promise and over deliver. Seems they are stuck in over promise and under deliver.

TRAINING: Wednesday 18th December 2019
The problem is NC that if you are short ( relative term in Basketball ) you have to be exceptional good to make it at top level basketball. Mills is a very good player probably more skilled than Dellavadova but big Del will earn a lot more than Mills over their respective careers. if you are short in AFL you have to be very good to make it, taller players can have good long careers with average ability but short guys with average ability do not.

TRAINING: Wednesday 18th December 2019
Interesting question binman. Having never been a professional sportsman I can only guess. If you seek international achievement then I guess basketball wins easily. However if you want to achieve the top in your desired sport then being top of the heap in Aussie rules ain't a bad result. A small note on the two involved in this discussion. I would have thought Pendlebury is a bit short to make it at NBA level.

2020 Melbourne Membership Packs
This may well be in my imagination but was there not a survey last year asking questions about what you received in the pack and it's worth to you? Perhaps the cut backs are the result!

Probably correct demonstone I doubt the gentle nature of most Dees supporters would appreciate this rather coarse brew. Probably more to the taste of the average Pie supporter.

2020 Melbourne Membership Packs
Well today mine turned up and probably because I had been prepared by this thread I am happy. Yep little more than the membership card but I can remember that is not so long ago that is all you got. Will one of us not buy a membership without all the bibs and bobs of recent years? I seriously doubt it. For 2020 all I want is to win 12- 14 games and play finals everything else is superfluous.

God forbid, are you suggesting the AFL are hypocrites? The AFL has only one rule, money, money and more money.

Bradtke Putting in the Hard Yards
Now one swallow does make a summer but the games I saw him play last season suggested to me he has a very long way to go before he is a good VFL player let alone higher. IMO the kid needs another 2-3 years at Casey. Patience will be needed.

Alex Rance Retires
Nothing to do with Mr Rance. My mother used to tell me that going to church on Sunday did not make you a good person, it was the other six days of the week that determined your worth.

Very sharp this morning MR. More likely the church of perpetual failure.

Alex Rance Retires
The Tigers won a flag without him and will go close again. Wonder what the fin settlement is, as a good God fearing man I expect he has given up this year's payments.

CASEY: 2020 Fixture & News
A couple of strange ones round 5 at mcg at 12.00 surely not a curtain raiser! What will the AFL think of next? Round 12 at Williamstown start time 12.00 very early start. Round 19 Whitten oval at 11.00 am??? The season ends mid August as a seconds /feeder competition that isn't ideal.
