[rollinson 65 181]

"Great work"...

just bring yourself...

we are looking forward to meeting you...

broken bits and all...

[rollinson 65 181]

can somebody explain the main differences between vafa rules and the afl rules ??

[pringle 42]

Basically the rules are pretty much the same. The difference is that the umpires are not sh#@ scared of television replays making asses of them, so they don't pay the frivolous, tiggy-touchwood free kicks that supporters hate to see. They let a few go and only pay the obvious ones... the way games were umpired when I was a kid in the '80's. In fact, very similar to VFL games. If you watch the ABC telecast, you'll know what I mean.

[rollinson 65 181]

talking carlton have people dropping out of the team on their site...

long live the silence (on that matter) on this thread...

[45HG 1,539]

carn the dees!

[Hards 2]

Sorry to ruin the silence Rollo but unfortuantely I'll be a late withdrawl due to work committments.

Good luck guys, hopefully I'll be available to play in the next game!

Give them hell and don't over handball!! :angry:

[rollinson 65 181]

"I'll be a late withdrawl..."

sorry to hear that, hards...

gees, it will be strange for me to watch a forum game without you, freak, cactus and cribbes out there...

on the bright side, if we lose, we can always say we had some good players missing...

thanks, mfc...

you have done a great job with the organising of this game...

hope it matches the first game against saintsational...

that was one the old-timers remember...

(nobody should remind me that was the end of my goal-umpy career as well)...

[pringle 42]

I'm not exactly withdrawing at the moment, but sadly I copped a buttock injury playing cricket today. Don't ask me how you strain muscles playing cricket. I think I'm just getting old (only 28, but this would never have happened in years gone by). But I think I'll be able to play hurt. I can still run, just not with any degree of comfort. I'll be there and see how I go. It feels better when warm, but I only just got home from the day's play, so don't know how it will be tomorrow.

[rollinson 65 181]

"I think I'll be able to play hurt..."

that's the spirit, pringle, but hopefully, it won't be necessary...

btw, what posi does your brother play/prefer ??

[pringle 42]

My brother is a solid half back flanker. He'll do a good job for the team. And starting to feel a bit better with some anti-inflams. About to get stuck into some ice. Fingers crossed.

[rollinson 65 181]

"About to get stuck into some ice."

vodka makes the ice go down easier...

(or so I am told)...

thanks Rollo At the end of the day, let's hope the team has a win and everyone enjoys themselves. The spirit of the game.

My crew are all still on track. At this stage, Jo will be happy to run boundary ump, drinkgirl or even put on a jumper for a quarter if needed.

Dianne is official matchday photographer, hopefully she can grab some candid shots and that very famous club song at the end.

Big thanks to Dave - he's looking forward to the run even though he is a diehard Bombers man....AND Marfa Parfa for just being there to support.

BTW - I'm refraining from the traditional sunday chicken parma for lunch. you guys owe me.
