Forum Footy (vs. Saintsational)

[rollinson 65 181]

just heard from the sainsational organisers...

they are keen to play us while rivvo is out with his knee injury... <_<

suggestion is late november or early december...

they can find another oval with a good surface (not glenferrie)...

they ask if we would object to a saturday game... (not saying they won't play sunday)...

can posters register their interest and preferred dates here, so we can give them an early reply ??

thanks,

rollo

If they want to play on a Saturday, you can tell them we'll play them on the day of the national draft if they don't mind Jack Watts playing for us!

On a serious note however, I think we might lose a few players to their cricket teams if that happens so I'm not sure that it's going to be all that popular an idea.

[DeeM 42]

im in

[45HG 1,539]

I'd be in, foot should be fine by then

[rollinson 65 181]

hey, sleeve...

the last email you gave me did not work...

send me an email if you want to play in this one...

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

Now that my exams have finished I would seriously consider playing depending on the day that is chosen.

[Imtoohot 0]

No chance on a Saturday

so what's your preference, clint ??

[biggestred 4,401]

keen.

late november is best for me

[deanox 8,870]

no chance on a saturday because of cricket, but given enough notice i think i could really make my debut this time.

no more exams, i dont work sundays anymore. sounds like the stars are aligning for deanox to pull on the red and blue...

definitely a no to november 30th from me, but i dont think i am high up the pecking order in when this game gets determined anyway.

Preference for a Sunday at this point and that shouldn't change.

Whats the chances of a bus trip to the location.

Casey, anyone?

The surface would be great.

[mikeod 21]

Well - Sunday is usually best for people - especially during cricket season...

I jet off on November 26th, so unless its before then, I'll be out.

[rollinson 65 181]

hey, dl...

where do you want the bus trip to start from ??

(it will probably finish at one of the lush albert park lake ovals, but don't tell anyone I said so)...

and can people please post their preferences - saturday v sunday, exact dates etc (see the post from cactus above)... ??

[rollinson 65 181]

just heard from mfc...

and his preferences line up with those of cactus...

melbournefc is a major organiser of these games, SO WE BETTER TAKE NOTICE OF HIS PREFERENCES IMO...

[melbournefc 18]

I'm play Rec Footy in the Corporate Games at Albert Park on the weekend of 22/23 Nov.

At this stage I might be available the last week of Nov?? I also have tennis finals...tbc

Prefer a sunday game, saturday is out.

[rusty_kingswood 0]

Hey Rolo,

Yes Iam definatly in again ( and too my mate James I assume )

Would prefer a SATURDAY, but dont mind if its a sunday

[pringle 42]

I'm also in the Saturday cricket-playing boat, so a Sunday would suit me better. Would play any Sunday. Definitely can't play Saturdays.

[rollinson 65 181]

have heard from cribbes, our 7' ruckman, and he won't be flying in until december 7... <_<

and december 7 (a sunday) is shaping as the realistic date...

a realistic date on which we will be without both cribbes and mickrocks1, unhappily... :angry:

at least cactus will be happy...

and my reputation for taking bribes will be enhanced...

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I realise that most people are from up Melbourne way so it might be a big hassle, but I wonder what the chances are of playing the game at Casey Fields? Preferably while the team isn't there, we can't have them being critical of the way we play football...

There are a few grounds there and they always seem to be in good nick. Just a thought.

substantial number of our players use public transport, clint...

and there is most often an after-match drink and BBQ with the sainters after the match...

these things need to be factored in to any final choices...

Fair enough.

Just putting it out there.
