Hey guys,

I've got a physio coming before the game to do strapping and stuff. She can't hang around all day, but will probably able to stay for a bit of the game.

I wont be able access too much tape or equipment, so if anyone has anything bring it along.

Cheers,

Funk

any dees colours will do...

harveysdeciple from saintsaitional plays in baggy board-shorts...

I have 6 spare light-weight dees tops, but anybody with an extra jumper should bring it along...

physio sounds too good to be true...

Hey Rollo, I might grab one of those jumpers if you have a XL, I'll bring my jumper down but it maybe a bit small.... big preseason this year

Hi Guys,

I've been following up this thread for a while and i'm really keen to jump on board! sounds like a good time.

Do you have any room for me? It's been a few months since i've pulled on the boots and my fitness is not premium, but i still think I can be a solid contributor.

Rgds.

Toot.

Got the grandfather thing out of the way (Jasmine Rose came 8 days early) so now I'm back in on the coaching panel. Spoke to BL2381 yesterday and he's in along with Dookie.

It looks like we've had to recruit hard to overcome a few players we've lost (cheers Rivvo) so like the Demons we're going with youth and a sh*tload of run and carry.

I'm also going to try to get one of those coaches whiteboards so I can do the team placements properly and I'll also have the odd message or two for the boys and (girl if she's playing this time) later in the week.

heard from melbournefc and looks like he won't be able to make it...

sad news, mfc...

we've certainly missed your organisation skills this time, and we will miss them more on the day, I reckon...

mostly positive news...

If there’s still room I have a friend that is interested. He is in 1st with me and is a state sprinter (or something like that)

We can both play on the wings, save the older guys running and doing an injury

Would be great to have you both in. Some pace through the midfield is welcomed, God knows I'm not getting any faster.

Hope everyone gets a run or two in before Sunday.

mrs rollo cannot believe there can be this many crazy people on the sites, so is threatening to come as water angel just to check out that you people are all for real, but she will probably get a better offer...

Not sure anyone responded, but I'm sure I speak on behalf of all when I say you'd be very much welcomed in! The more players in the likely heat the better...

Hey Guys,

Just confirming I am right for Sunday - my fitness levels have not improved from last year so I will be a bit parts player coming in where needed, most effective around goals.

more mixed news, lost robbo24 (best of excuses), gained Fuzz and maybe Grant, and diesel is threatening to come...

Mate just confirming I'm a there for sure!

i would just like to confirm that i do not expect to contribute much at all, but will run around for a bit of fun haha

Grant, Diesel, get along boys, we need you lining up this Sunday...

Deanox just run through a couple of them and you'll have contributed in my books.

I think I'll be there. Pissweak I know but I need to confirm a couple of things with the cheese. Will bring some drink bottles and esky if I get there.

"Will bring some drink bottles and esky if I get there."

let us know for sure as soon as you can, mate...

you and mrs rollo are the only potential water angels at the moment, and it is always sorely needed...

(and I am almost certain mrs rollo will get a better offer)...

need players to think about something serious...

in match 2 against saintsational, we were seriously down on numbers, and the sainters loaned us 4 (very) good players...

they included the 3 spinner brothers, who played their guts out for us...

joey spinner almost won us the match...

the sainters may be down on numbers on sunday...

their numbers may come good but, if not, we will need individual players to say on sunday that they can volunteer to play their best for the opposition or, alternatively, they would rather go home without playing...

no need to post, just think about it...

thanks,

rollo.

OK, I've thought about it:

I might be able to bring a couple of my housemates (geelong supporters) down who i'm sure would be willing to run around to try to cream me. Although by the sounds of it, one may be leaving for Sydney on Saturday. They are both pretty good, one playing seniors/reserves in Tassie SFL.

I've just got a couple of questions that someone may be able to answer; first, what time are we turning up? and am I right in assuming everyone needs to look after their own medical issues (i.e. there's no insurance) so if someone goes down with a bad injury (touch wood for everyone), it's on their own head (so to speak) to look after?

I have no qualms about this - just thought it might be an important issue and will probably change how much i'll put my head over the ball or seriously justify how hard i'm going to be hitting a sainter, I don't want to be liable for a big medical bill - struggling student here!

hey, toot...

bring your mate(s) down to play for the sainters (if they want to)...

yep, no insurance...

these forum footy games are different and played as you have suggested...

this topic (how hard do I hit the bloke?) was covered in the article on the last match against talkingcarlton (see articles on the main board) and there is not much more to say...
