Yeah, where is Spencer ‘buddy’ White

My team played him in a region final in 2011 I think it was

He booted 10 from the ruck and we lost by about 100

Very strong team

Lee Bruce Weightman is great
We had an annual match against Melbourne High.

I rucked against Mark Lee. Mick Roberts whom I knew from little league and Dale Weightman were his rovers. We were a good team and reigning APS premiers but Melbourne High was much too strong.

Lee lost the plot and was very punchy. At one stage he chased the umpire and i thought he was going to deck him but was held back by team mates.

That was a mid-week match.

On the Saturday Lee played for Richmond firsts.

Different times.

They tried to work one out and put together a squad of 18 or even just 16 but gave up after there was no one to fill the forward line, the wings and the backline.

I think they tried pulling a few good players over on a scholarship. But you came away with no education and an addiction of choice.

They won’t be able to field a time the next 50 years as they are now an academic school.
