Haha what's the bet it'll be 35 degrees again for the third forum game in a row!

thanks Doggo...

As for the weather, I bloody hope not!

aparently, Bomerblitz couldnt field a side on the weekend and Saintsational players had to play for them. Certainly hope that doesnt happen to us. There is NO WAY i am ever pulling on a Carlton jumper.

Also, aparently, the field umpire did a knee and needs a reco. That sucks!!!

The Saints guys just turned their jumpers inside out and saved themselves the embarrassment

Praying to the good lord that my teeth don't get knocked out!!!

"32 players..."

no, benno...

rollinson 65 is a non-playing sponsor from demonology...

and redleg and whispering jack are coaches...

there will be enough game time as everyone can stand, I promise you...

and blessed_hands has a habit of getting sent off...

I assume you're referring to Brent Crosswell but I think that might be a trifle unfair because he was a great at Carlton and good value at Melbourne.

I have to think about that one and am open to suggestions.

My initial reaction would be the Vinnie Catoggio but there might be a better one lurking around ... James Cook?

Phil Pinnell

Michael Young

Paul Hurst

Brent Heaver

Peter Rohde

Ronald Barassi????

ah ok. haha im not complaining, esp given there will inevitebly be no shows, and probably hot, and my fitness is suspect.

haha

Where are we going for Mad Monday ?

It's true. I'm a loose cannon.

Can't control my white line fever.

Meanwhile, "The Snitch" is talking all sorts of jive over at the Carlton forum.

Sounds like a job for the wise_monkey.

so we're starting at 2, is there going to be a warm up ect. i'd hate for all u older blokes 2 do a hammy

I'll need a warm up.

I've done no fitness in months, am getting fatter by the day and still haven't learnt how to kick...

I'll be really helpful.

I'm with you Mick. A warm up would be good.

Benno..., Rollo usually posts up here what people are to bring or recommend bringing ie: mouthguards, jumpers etc...

Looks like the heatwave is staying away so therefore the sunscreen may not need to appear. However...this IS Melbourne.

Let's try to get there between 1-1:30pm to have a stretch, a kick, a yarn and talk some tactics.

I drove past Gosh's paddock this afternoon - there's a small fenced off area on the half forward flank, about 2 x 2 meters. Let's hope it's removed by the weekend.

I've done no fitness in months, am getting fatter by the day and still haven't learnt how to kick...

I just got in from a 10km run - part of a gruelling training routine for the weekend's game.

And our boy Blessed has just started pre-season with Port Melbourne. He's fit!

At least there'll be a few of us to chase the pill around all day.

I'm happy to give "The Snitch" a touch up, but wouldn't it be more fun if both of us took him out. Personally, I don't think he's got the fitness or the nerve to get anywhere near the play.

Does training for VFL goal umpiring count?

Wait, even if it did... I haven't done any yet.

10km!? Never in my life.

I have 4 additional guernseys, but bring additional jumpers if you have them for players without...
