Re: Melbourne High's best team last 50 years
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

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.

Re: Melbourne High's best team last 50 years
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.
