happy to advise that we have secured a field umpy...

it is luke, the same bloke who umpired in our first stoush with talkingcarlton...

still needing players and helpers, people...

we need people to commit to helping by bringing extra water...

and we need extra players...

last game against talkingcarlton, we had almost 30 listed on the thread, but we barely had 20 at the start of the game... :angry:

waiting to hear from cribbes, robbo, grant, freak, rusty and many others (you know who you are)...

Hey rollo, sorry I couldn't make it last time, something last minute came up. But I'll be there for sure this time and I'll bring my mate Scotty.

great news, madness, you have been missed... but I will have to call your mate scotty2...

what position does he prefer to play ??

Having returned to Melbourne today, I should be able to play...

That said my Melbourne guernsey unfortunately didn't make it from the USA (along with the rest of my luggage, which is yet to be located by the airline...)

sorry to hear that, mick...

but why did you take your guernsey to North America ??

do you sleep with it under your pillow ??

I may have to loan mickrocks a jumper, but that's a small problem...

My mate says he wants to play in the forward pocket cheers.

My mate says he wants to play in the forward pocket cheers.

hey, mad...

every mother's son wants to hide in the forward pocket...

not enough room there for all the applicants...

and against this team, talkingcarlton, there are really no places to hide...

the coaches will decide, god bless them...

(I remember the days when we didn't have coaches, and we sometimes had 5 or 6 players trying to squeeze into the forward pockets... :angry:)

last game against saintsational, the sainters at one stage had 12-13 blokes on their forward line while we were kicking goal after goal at the other end...

if your mate wants forward pocket because he wants to go first change into the mid-field, I unconditionally withdraw this post and extend my apology to him...

sorry to hear that, mick...

but why did you take your guernsey to North America ??

do you sleep with it under your pillow ??

It's always important to show the world the beauty of the Melbourne guernsey.

Im not a regular poster, but im a melb member and will play if u still need players.

If it helps i currently play division 1 senior footy in the guts.

Let me know, cheers.
