Serious question Steve, why is this a problem?

We would win the flag if that happened however I won't hold my breath.

Two things spring to mind. -they have people justifying their existence. -they are addicted to fiddling with the game.

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.

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.

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.

They stopped selling Emu Bitter!

Sorry for being painful poita but re your last paragraph WHERE?

Probably correct BB or was he just out of form. It has been known to happen to Good players in any position.

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.

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.

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.

We have a standard Mr Leg?

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

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.

No game at windy Hill either DJ. Enjoyed my visits there and Coburg.

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.

The silence is deafening George. Also how are we planning to replace the Darwin lost revenue.

You may never say words truer than those SWYL.

Ron I suspect we gave up the Darwin game to GCS at the request of the AFL as I believe they want GCS up there because it is their zone. I have no idea what the pay off is but suspect it might have something to do our new home next decade. I wrote to the club asking how we were going to replace the revenue lost from the Darwin game and after a few weeks I got a reply that sounded like wishing and hoping rather than solid reasons. I doubt we will know the plan anytime soon but there maybe things going on that the club does not want to discuss. This business of the members wanting the game returned to the G is IMO a smoke screen there is more at play here.

Happy to accept your view BB. As you are aware I have never seen much to suggest he will be more than an average KPF. However I would love to see him prove me wrong and star. No one ever mentions him in reports so I was curious. Thank you for the reply.

BB how was the Weid today?

My god how hot is it there?
