Will e-mail you soon. Dislocated my knee last night (ongoing problem) but still want to have a run. How serious is the game taken in terms of physicality? Might have to opt to help out in another way.

sorry to hear that, sam...

there have been a couple of serious knee injuries over the years, and a shoulder...

nobody takes it seriously enough to want to deliberately inflict injury...

but even playing kick to kick in the backyard, there are risks in any contact sport...

if you decide to help instead of play, we have plenty of jobs available...

[Samsara 65]

Yeah would like to watch/meet people anyway so will likely come anyway but 50/50

on playing

[rollinson 65 181]

apart from our first year (obviously), I can't think of another year when we have had so many new faces...

last game, talkingcarlton let us down (turning up with 3 players) so we played a game between demonland and demonology...

can't quite remember who won...

we may be able to field two teams again in this round robin, because there has been no interest from talkingcarlton, puntroadend or saintsational...

I will be talking to the hawks, but not until their finals campaign has ended (and they haven't played forum footy for 5-7 years)...

if we can't field two teams again, that's not such a bad result, because it will mean a true round robin, with each team playing every other team...

[Striker475 696]

How many do you have over on 'ology rollinson?

[rollinson 65 181]

How many do you have over on 'ology rollinson?

It's hard to measure this, S475, with so many posters posting on both sites.

This time, I am only putting the team list on here, and will add any demonologists who don't post on here myself.

Can somebody post details of the game on the big footy site before they accuse me again of forgetting them ?? (can never find my way onto that site myself)...

Will do now.

[rollinson 65 181]

Will do now.

Thanks, mate.

[The Red Fox 216]

Good luck Dees. Let's kick off this new era of dominating the Pies early.

Rollo - thanks again for organizing, if you can get a game off the ground post November I'll be back in Aus for a run.

hey, wise...

look at all the new faces in the team !!

(I haven't called the troops yet)...

new faces can read about captain wise (aka wise monkey) by searching "forum footy" on the site...

He played in our very first game, has captained most games, and we will (hopefully) see him again on his visits back to Aus...

Wise, game after this will probably be february next year, does that suit ??

Rollo, I'd love to play again. Snared three goals in my last appearance, but this will be my come back game from knee surgery. Will try to confirm asap.

I should be right to play.

[Striker475 696]

wow, full side already and we're a month out!

[beelzebub 22,225]

full side and bench....hope they dont sit on me too long

[rollinson 65 181]

wow, full side already and we're a month out!

hey, S475..

I remember 2006...

we had a list of 23...

11 guys had turned up by the bounce...

saintsational loaned us 7 quality players, 3 of whom were amongst our best on the day...

it was our only loss in the history of forum footy and we swore we would never be complacent again...

so the pm's, texts and emails will be going out to all our former players this weekend...

if we can put 2 teams on the park, good...

if not, having too many players is better than being complacent...

[Whispering_Jack 27,884]

Rollo, I'm still in as Director of Coaching but I should let you know that I'm waiting for a phone call from Linnen House. Can't say very much at this stage but the Saints want someone with experience and a winning record so it looks like it's going to be either Rodney Eade or my good self. If I get the gig Westaway and the Board could put the pressure on.

[rollinson 65 181]

mickrocks1 has announced he "should be right to play"...

mick, as the only surviving member (so far) of our first ever forum footy game in 2005 (have not heard from doggo, freak or any of the other originals), I hope you have private health insurance...

[Samsara 65]

I can't see myself playing now, this knee is troubling me and your comment about private health insurance reminded me that I don't have any and perhaps risking injury for the sake of a forum footy game is not the best idea.

Will more than likely come down to help though
