thanks for the offer, brett, but we have been very happy with the amateur umpires who have helped us out in recent games...

are you up for goal umpiring ?? :wub:

sorry, benno, but the saturday/sunday debate was put to bed years ago... :rolleyes:

our "leadership group" consists of pringle, wolfmother, whispering jack, funky41, melbournefc, wise, tassie dee, redleg + hards...

Talkingcarlton + saintsational have proposed round robin forum footy matches on Sunday, November 8 – each game 2 X 15 minute quarters – each team plays the other 2 teams once.

Downside is that wise is not available, but there are no other viable dates this year... :mellow:

If a majority of the leadership group pm"s a “yes” to me, I will set up the team thread on demonland.

Regards,

Peter Connor (aka rollo)

early "leadership" voting is 2-0 in favour of november 8...

with wise crying in the background... :mellow:

seems to me it's november 8, or wait until next year...

watch this space...

Booked and paid for. Tough to get out of!

Looks like the 8th will be a go but I'll leave it to Rollo to confirm.....

Want it to be big this year, so will organise a function afterwards at one of the local pubs and maybe a BBQ for the ground... Hope to get a few down to help out even if you don't want to throw on the boots

Surely now that we have the CEO, President and a player on Twitter we could organise for some MFC representation?! I reckon they'd get a laugh out of it, and it could potentially even raise a bit of money for a charity (or even the MFC Benevolent Fund haha)

never been a spark of interest from the club before, guys...

can't see that changing, but do your worst !!

leadership group now 5-0 in favour of November 8, but I will not start up the game organisation thread yet...

the other sites are in disarray, so I don't know who we are playing, where we are playing or when we are playing at this stage...

but it is safe to pen in the date of November 8 in your calendars...

sorry for you guys who have to miss out, but there will be a february 2010 fixture...

regards,

rollo

I probably have delusions of grandeur, but I would have thought the club might see it as an opportunity to give a little back to its fans. Once organised I'll be calling on all Demonland Tweeters (or is that Twits :lol:) to start a campaign!!

As a member of the leadership group, I have to say that there will be punishment for anyone not turning up to the 1st game of the season in less than top condition.

Skinfolds will be tested this year, and there will be some gut-busting running required for anyone who doesn't toe the line.

Despite dodgy hammies repeatedly falling apart as I approach the 30 y.o. mark, I'm definitely in and have been training my heart out all pre-season (after hitting the booze for the 1st 6 months following our last outing vs. the Blues). That's the kind of dedication I expect from everyone. I don't expect to personally make it past the 5 minute mark before I feel the first twang in the back of my thigh, but at least I know that if I don't tear a hammy straight away, I might just be able to run out the two 15 minute halves.

This is our time Demonlanders. Don't think, do... Oh wait, that one's been used... Um, ask not what your club can do for you...no wait, um...

P.S. Rollo, don't the Pies have a forum team? Surely amongst their 4 million fans they have at least 22 blokes willing to be subjected to a flogging at our hands? It's not like they's have to do anything difficult like buy mouthguards or something. I guess they wod have to learn to read though so we could let them know we want to play. hmm... Maybe getting a bit hard. Would love to pump those toothless !#@*s though.

not posting for any other reason than the fact that you guys are fractionally more reasonable and rational than the people we are trying to play on november 8...

the sainters have developed an unexplained objection to the round robin, the pies don't seem to have an organiser for these events, and the blues are organising full-steam ahead on the basis that this is all happening...

(rollo will have no hair left by november 8)...

summary - we will be playing the blues on november 8, god knows where, when, and who else may join the party...

you'd think we were trying to stitch together the fev deal. i'll try to fire up the collingwood mob. i don't get too involved cos i ain't in melbourne anymore but i think it's just a matter of confirming a date, time and venue and our chaps will be there. though, don't forget some of them have to arrange "day passes". ;)

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
