After the last contest against the blues, my mouth is watering already... :rolleyes:

Suggested date from the organisers on both sites is Sunday, 1 February. Any objections ?? :unsure:

We also need to name the trophy ...

I do not like "the Warnock Brothers Tankard" because we do not know yet if one or both brothers will become long-term players at their respective clubs.

I prefer "the Duke", named after Earl Spalding, who gave great service to both clubs, but I don't want to impose my will ...

before giving people the opportunity to agree with me... :lol:

All posters welcome to put in their two cents' worth...

A week later and I can play. 1st Feb is no good for me. Only weekend I'm working all of Jan and 1st half of Feb.

I hear you, pringle...

date not set yet, and I have been known to take bribes... :rolleyes:

In Perth for most of Jan and all of Feb.

Sorry Rollo

really sorry you have to miss this one, mate...

I was speaking to the talkingcarlton organiser yesterday, and we both expect it to be a ripper of a game... :rolleyes:

It's all been sorted out. I just sent an email to Tennis Australia and they're cancelling the final of the Australian Open to avoid the clash and the inconvenience to commuters.

Very gentlemanly of them too! :lol:

Feb 8's no good compared to the 1st for me... but I'm no good.... Funky, Charles and Heater will be there either day

sorry to hear that, wolf... :angry:

I am looking forward to another great tussle, and this time (hopefully) on a proper-sized oval...

unfortunately, some people will have to miss out and february 8 is better for most than february 1 at this stage...

you are more than good enough for these contests, mate... :wub:

don't want to hold out too much hope, but date not yet fixed with the opposition...

I'm returning from a trip to Japan on the 8th (so 1st is no good) but can't remember off the top of my head what the time of my flight back is. I have a bad feeling that it isn't early enough. :wacko:

It disappoints me because I would LOVE to be on the ground for this one...! Especially after rollo talked up the skills of TalkingCarlton at the last game.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
