Forum Game..DEMONLAND V TALKING CARLTON, 2nd of NOV

Featured Replies

Pfft, an Irishman playing for Melbourne, what an absurd notion

Next thing you know he'll want to be President...

On a side note, I would be keen if it was after the uni exam period.

 

count me in

going to need some organising though

 

haven't heard from Fullmont, or anyone else from talkingcarlton yet...

if and when I do, I will come with the full proposal to the "leadership" group, and we can take it from there...

I hear that Gosch's Park (aka Punt Road, aka Collingwood's Training ground) is not available because the turf is being dug up at the moment...

anybody know ??

I will swing past the oval tonight after work have a look and let you know ASAP.

 

:angry: :angry: :angry:

just heard that our 7 foot ruckman, Cribbes, is unavailable... :o <_<

that will even things up for the Judd-stealers all right...

give us some good news, people... :wacko:


I, Big Danny G of the TalkingCarlton forum can confidently predict that i will be BOG and the reason why TalkingCarlton will smash you demons by 10+ goals.

My possy count will be 30+, disposal efficiency of 90+, and 5+ goals. You will be golf clapping my brilliance as the ball sails over your heads.

Good luck guys

Cribbes would've been a liability. 7 feet up, just more time for me to read the ball as it comes down my throat. Could've been devastating. Great first up move by the selection committee.

Count me in. I'll start training now and should be in peak fitness by game day.

majority of the leadership group, including both coaches, have already indorsed this contest and this date...

we will be playing talkingcarlton on Sunday, November 2 at 2pm...

the venue will be glenferrie oval if gosch's park is not available... :rolleyes:

I have sent emails to past players and supporters... :wub:

new players should know they are most welcome... :)

the bench rotates constantly and everyone gets as much game time as they want (or can stand)...

new supporters should know the same (we can never get enough extra water delivered to the venue at this time of the year)...

with exams looming, this is a good time for talkingcarlton to try to ambush us... <_<

perhaps they have underestimated the pent-up anger and frustration we are still feeling over season 2008... :wacko:

give us some positive "I will be there" posts now please... :unsure:


Big Danny, I think i'm in love!

I'll take you down though, you'll be like a blonde, fun and easy.

But yeah, i'll happily take a wing. Been playing a bit of indoor lately, so should be good in 12 meter sprints...

All, with only a couple of weeks before kick off, we need committment, posts and complete dedication from each and every one of you. If you can play, confirm, if you are a maybe, keep this forum post as up to date as possible so we can get a true indication as to who is IN and who is OUT. We encourage all to bring other Melbourne supporters or even the occasional social football or recreational football players with them, or nominate them onto our playing list. All welcome. These are social games with a taste of fun footy flair. What we need now is committment from everyone. If you are unable to play, we encourage you to nominate and assist in other forms ie: drinkboys or drinkgirls, time keepers, goal and boundary umpires or even a photographer. What good is a day out if there aren't any photographs or very famous club song on video at the end of the day! These forum games make for a great day, and is our prime opportunity to put on the mighty RED and BLUE jumper and represent our great club.

All positions will be decided by the coaches, captain and/or the leadership group on the day.

Leadership Group, if I have left something out, please edit and post.

GO DEES.

tbc? TBC? TBC?!?! BY GOD MAN, I WILL RIP THOSE CHEATS AN ALTERNATE ....

'That's what I'm talking about' guys....COMMITTMENT ;)

Good boy 45hotgod.


There has been a request from resident demonland 'rollinson_65' on the TC forum for a member of our leadership group to come on here and tell of how many goals we're going to beat you guys. Now, as the spiritual leader of TalkingCarlton i've taken the duty upon myself.

Luckily i'm not one to make outlandish claims of how much we're going to win by, or how well some of players are going to perform. Instead i like to keep it realistic. I'm not going to put any expectations on any of the other boys.

Instead, i'll make my judgments on the basis that all demons are just like Dean Bailey. Bald, ugly, past it, and poofs.

I'll only make one promise that i can back up. That Big Danny G could beat 22 Dean Baileys by himself.

Brock On!

I heard a rumour that the talkingcarlton.com team is pretty much a bunch of Wayne Brittains, never has-beens with paedophile-esque grins who probably still can't tell the difference between rugby and AFL.

Confirm-Deny Danny?

99% in, just need to check dates with work.

Sorry mate, just a rumour. But [censored] with a "character" (note the mocking quotation marks) like Dean Bailey leading such an "enigmatic, exciting" (note the mocking quotation marks) "football team" (note the mocking quotation marks) i really struggled to find words that i could make fun of your team with.

Seriously though, and i'm not even joking, as demon supporters you can't possibly expect to win anything let alone a forum footy game. I'm really pulling at straws but i can think of two positives for you guys. 1. That the game isn't very important so if you lose it doesn't really matter and 2. Again, that the game isn't important, meaning you guys might perform.

Good luck though, provide a contest.

Also a challenge to your coaching panel. Corral, or tackle me?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
