haha when i kicked that goal i had no idea that rivvo had gone down!

And again best wishes for a speedy recovery Rivvo. We were fortunate to have a fair dinkum doctor in the team (pringle) who was virtually on the spot when Rivvo went down and was able to check on his condition immediately, recommend immediate icing and check on him at 3/4 time and then again at the end of the game. It was like an episode of RPA from my vantage point and reminiscent of the days back in the '60's and '70's when the Dees had Doc Roet and Peter Sinclair in the team.

Still can't walk

 

Every time I pull on the boots for these days I remind myself why I gave up football a few years ago.

1. Physical contact is not my friend

and

2. My ability on a football field is questionable at best.

Still, yesterday's match was a heap of fun - very very competitive, and everyone put in and had a go.

We're very lucky at Demonland to have a couple of very good footballers in Josh (Wise), Adam (imtoohot (i think)) and Chris (Doggo) to name but a few.

Massive thanks must go to Rollo for organising the game, Redleg and Whispering Jack for coaching, and Brian (Melbournefc) for organising the team.

And finally, to the gentleman who provided us with a styrofoam esky FULL of cold water - you are a hero.

I should add one thing. It was very difficult doing the rotations and the timekeeping in that hectic last quarter* especially with the short ground and the way everyone pushed into our forward line. We needed more crumbers and we had too many talls so I have to confess we just about gave up on making changes and might have kept one or two players off in the last quarter who needed interchanging. Sorry 'bout that!

I don't know how they do it in the coaches boxes at AFL level. It must be so hectic. :wacko:

Also I agree that Luke the umpire was fantastic in the way he umpired and made his decisions clearly known to the players. He umpires a high level of the VAFA but would not be out of place doing an AFL or VFL game.

* reminded me of the days when I was a team manager for an under 19 team in the ammos. Team managers had to be interchange stewards, time keepers, orange boys, umpires escorts, trainers and pyschologists all at the same time.


"a styrofoam esky FULL of cold water"

I think that came from dee knees (from demonology)...

just got an update from rivvo...

rivvo's knee is not in particularly good shape...

he can't bend the leg and walking is a little difficult...

he is hoping it will feel better when the swelling goes down, but he will wait to see what the doctor says on wednesday...

I will pass on more news when it comes to hand...

Doggo, I quite literally can put no weight on my left foot. Work could be interesting... haha

Forget what i was saying about 'feeling not too bad' yesterday. I'm absolutely [censored] today. Spent a good 4 hours down at Harold Holt pool today in the spa and hydro pool trying to loosen up a bit. Had to bail on my basketball game tonight too.

I'm feeling your pain mate...

"Was there much wind out there today?"

hey, oxxx...

you were missed today...

I told people you were having major surgery...

(I hope that was true)... :rolleyes:

Comparing the results from yesterday to the last time that I was there, I must be worth about 96 points to the team! :lol::lol:

Nah I couldn't make it yesterday, I was way too busy with other stuff. That one was the first one that I've missed, is there anybody who has played in all of them?

 
Third quarter

I may have got the wrong quarter, but Doggo provided a real highlight with a great speccie. He judged the mark so well, and hung in the air for so long. It was a genuine screamer.

You're too kind Rollo. It was alright, but no 'genuine speccie'. Pity i couldn't slot the goal (from 20m out, slight angle...) :wacko:

One of my 4 or 5 behinds for the day haha...

Winning points my friend


"is there anybody who has played in all of them?"

no, mate...

the last time you played, we worked out that you were the only bloke who had (up to that stage) played in all of them...

and I reckon I am the only person in the world who has watched them all... :wacko:

Great match report Rollo.

Praise to all, this was one fine display of football. True Melbourne grit and determination.

Was great to finally put some faces to all those names - there's more of the same on facebook. Photo's and video (team singing Grand Old Flag and mickrocks going for gold along the wing). Enjoy. Just look for 'Demonology @ Demonland'.

I'm keen to debut next game, send me email old man.

Congratulations boys a fantastic effort. I apologise for not being able to play. I injured my knee in Tasmania just before i left and have been on crutches since. Also i only just moved back to Melbourne I couldnt find a computer to get the details for the match. As I now have one I would love to play in the next one. Please keep me informed

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
