Demonland/Demonology v talkingcarlton


rollinson 65

Recommended Posts

have taken possession of "the duke" trophy from the sponsors on demonology... :wub:

it's basically just a lump of polished wood with the melbourne and carlton colours displayed... :unsure:

but, given the rough treatment endured by the "big carl" trophy over it's short life, including one trip back to the maker for repairs, this block of wood may be the way to go... ;)

dunno if earl spalding would approve though... :rolleyes:

Rollo I'm a little bit excited about the prospect of lining up an ex-AFL player. Any clues as to who it is?

Guys get a couple of runs in before next Sunday, it'll make the world of difference.

some days ago, we agreed with the talkingcarlton guys that the game should be called off if the long-range forecast says it is going to be too hot...

they have now suggested that, if that occurs, we could start at 11.30am...

can we have some feedback on here ??

11.30am start a problem for anyone ??

rollo i think if you are going to change the time, you need to go extreme to keep out of the heat. make it a 6pm twighlight game, or a very early start instead.

just my thoughts. if its going to be 40, playing at 1130 instead isnt going to make much difference to the playing conditions

think you are right, Benno...

Just heard the long-range forecast is for 26 degrees, so we may be worrying over nothing...

Haha, wow, I REALLY have lost the ability to think.

Yes that's for this Sunday, sorry about that!

yep, 26 degrees is all we can coax out of the internet at the moment...

this will change on monday, when the mainstream weather sites get to february 8...

may be time to stop worrying about the weather and start worrying about the opposition... :rolleyes:

sorry about the no show guys, g/fs bday so are heading away for the w/e.

and rollo, i'm sure its not the wobbly punts that the carlton boys would be scared of, but at least i make them earn it when its on the ground ;) fwiw i've got myself a sherrin and have been having the odd kick, slowly getting better, so if there is another game any time soon i'll be there with bells on if i've got the time off.

for those players and helpers without email addresses... :rolleyes:

and for those who have diabled their pm function on site... :o

and, finally, for those whose pm's are full... <_<

here is the reminder going out tonight :-

Hey, people…

Reminder is early because I expect to be in court all the rest of this week – and, yes, eventually cleared of all charges (the joke is wearing thin, guys)…

Gosch’s paddock…

Melway map reference 2G E10...

TRAIN... to richmond station, walk south down punt road (city side). Walk past the collingwood training ground. If you come to boulton parade, you have gone too far...

CAR... free parking may be available at the punt road oval. If not, try the richmond side streets south and east of swan street, also a commercial car park in swan street...

WEATHER... extended forecast says showers clearing, 70% humidity, and 21 degrees...

people, it's melbourne, so bring umbrellas as well as spare jumpers and footy boots (ground is in good condition and will be wet) !!

the talkingcarlton guys have the personnel to provide a real contest and a tough game...

we really should not have won last time, our team looks slightly better than our team last time on paper, but they have some regulars back who we have not seen, especially KPPs in defence…

people, it's melbourne so bring water AND suncreen !!!

helpers... we have never had enough additional water, so don't slack off on your commitments...

players, we have as yet only two helpers committed to bringing extra water, so bring your own…

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

if anybody has a match-quality footy or two, please let me know so we can stop looking…

AFTER MATCH DRINKS... crickerters arms hotel, punt road...follow the crowd...

if anyone has last-minute info for the coaches (can't make it, can make it with extra players etc, I invite you to ring me on my mobile on the day 0408 698 328...

see you sunday, february 8 at 1pm (doggo, this means you !!) or thereabouts...

regards,

peter connor (aka rollo)

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
