I'll say it once.

Konstas' innings was Hokball on the cricket field.

It does make a lot of sense to be honest given the facts mentioned about their access to Casey for the other grades etc. that we did not have and is a surer and more cost-effective path than their other plans currently.

But some feelings etc. would need to step aside to abandon the larger plans and move into another team's old premises.

Melbourne need to end the alignment (takeover with casey)
I'm local to casey fields, you wouldn't know the demons even have a team there. They do bugger all in the community, and their training days it's a get in get out situation, with no engagement with local primary schools etc

Even local footy - i tried to organise registration for a vflw trial day for a couple of the girls at the footy team i coach, casey told me that melbourne organise it all, and despite several enquiries, not one melbourne administrator bothered to contact me. Instead we had players try out for box hill (over an hour away), and have 2 players with the saints (again, and hour away)

No suprise that culture filters down to the players. Bombers, port and Melbourne are my most hated clubs all for different reasons

Entitled. See 1996. Still thought they were superior despite being a basket case for decades.

Agree.
I feel like that started to become the case when we were winning flags, we lost a bit of what made the family club the family club. Since covid though, it's definitely come back, with the players really engaging with the fans and doing a lot of work off the field in the community. May be Andy gowers influence? May be recruiting (recruiting less players who have had smoke blown up their clackers since birth?)

Maybe the differing attitudes of our former coach & present coach

I think that’s a bit unfair. Clarko had had faults - as do all people. But he did a lot for the community and for building a good atmosphere within the club the last year or two not withstanding.
