Featured Replies

I'm in for sure. Forward Pocket if available if not half forward flank.

 

me and 2 of my mates (1 a hawks supporter) are keen. so make that 3 all up.

 

ill be there and can play

can play either FF, CHF if neither available then FB HFF

Im down!


Im down!

My nephew Pringle (wore # 5 with distinction in the last game - but then I think we had about three or four wearing that number) is currently in Bangalore following the test. I have a feeling he could be back in town by then. If he is, I'm sure he'll want to play as long as the somosas, papadams etc don't get to him first.

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?

speaking of ammo.............

anyway im a maybe.

i havent played footy at school but ive been playing soccer.

but i was a forward at school.

use me in the norm smith CHF "decoy" role if you want. haha

sorry guys love 2 but i gotta head off to adelaide to train with west adelaide in the SANFL.

 

in terms of a name for the trophy, somebody on talking carlton has mentioned earl spalding...

we play saintsational for "big carl"...

what about we play the bluebuggers for "the duke" ??

(sorry, I meant to say BLUE BUGGERS...)


"sorry guys love 2 but i gotta head off to adelaide to train with west adelaide in the SANFL."

bloody hell, dazzle, you always have iron-clad excuses... :angry:

you win the award for the poster who has appeared most times in these footy forum threads without ever having bloody-well played... <_<

but, seriously, hope you do well over there...

I'm definitely in, love the forum games. Put me down for a forward pocket but I'll gladly be relegated to the bench when we get a full team happening.

I have a feeling we'll end up with a team full of FPs....

Last time I volunteered to play a couple of quarters in the pocket I played a half on the wing, then a quarter each at CHF and CHB!!!

There'd better be a bench when I rock up.

I have a feeling we'll end up with a team full of FPs....

I think everyone rates themself as a bit of a goal sneak!

Any word from big Billy? blessed_hands absolutely dominated for us in the last game


I'll most likely be unavailable. Derby Day's on the Saturday & I'll have uni assignments due the following week. I'll try my best to make it, but I doubt I'll be able to make it.

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.

I think everyone rates themself as a bit of a goal sneak!

Any word from big Billy? blessed_hands absolutely dominated for us in the last game

Spoke to Billy about the game last night, he's in!!! Blessed and Wise will be lining up in the guts again!!

Was in a bad car accident 4 weeks ago - def out

Let me know if you need a goal umpire or something. Just not a masseur.

Happy to help out.


Shite, you alright man?

Better now thanks. Learner driver t-boned me and put me straight into pole at 70kph.

Would love to help out though if theres anything i can do.

Otherwise will be at the game with half a doz cans.

im def in. [censored] bring it.

 

I'd be in a rather large amount of trouble if I missed the wedding, so will have to give playing a miss. Still hope to make it for a look at the 1st quarter.

Cant play due to recovering from an ankle reco - but, will am ready willing & able to help out with whatever is needed.

  • 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.
