hey, DR, how goes the raising of extra numbers so we can loan players to the other teams ??

I have tried all parking options over the years, and the best is the car park in swan street...

I know it costs money, but sunday rates are not too bad, and there is always room, and you don't have to drive for ages looking for a park, and you have better security for your wheels...

They are a slack lot over there, Only wise guy sam is available at this stage (he was an early nomination) to play for the demons (not the opposition).... I will keep on their case... maybe our coaching staff can fill a couple of spots????

well, here is an emotional moment or two...

posters from demonology make up about a third of our numbers on sunday, but shamed by the lack of support for these games on demonology, they have asked me to downplay the demonology effort and I acknowledge the message...

rollo2 is the only one of my sons ever to play footy (the other 3 only played soccer), but plagued as he was by knee injuries as a junior, I feel a bit afraid for more knee problems on sunday, followed by the wrath of mrs rollo, still he wants to play for the jumper just once and who can deny any of us that request ??

here is the updated game post...

opposition : nick's collingwood site, bomberblitz, punt road end...

Greetings Demonland

Really looking forward to Sunday.

It looks like I'll be representing Bigfooty all by my self.

This is my 1st year of forum footy (and my 1st game in a long time) so I was wondering what the uniform will consist of. I have my lovely red and blue Jumper, boots ($29 from k-mart, pro) and I’ll grab a new mouthguard on Friday. Do I need specific colours for my socks and shorts? Is their anything else I need to know?

Thanks

Wise Guy Sam

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, you can try the richmond side streets south of swan street, but I prefer the commercial car park in swan street...

WEATHER... extended forecast says 23 degrees, morning showers and thunderstorms . The operative word is "showers", so footy boots are a must ...

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...

please bring additional jumpers (if you have them} for players without...

AFTER MATCH DRINKS... cricketers arms hotel, punt road, was closed last time, so follow the crowd...

see you sunday at 10am or thereabouts...

10.30am pies v dees

11.20am dons v tigers (extra players from other sites allowed on schoolyard pick)

12.10pm losers play

1pm winners play

2pm clean-up and pub time...

regards,

rollo

welcome back imtoohot and legend... :wub:

a couple of blasts from the past - we've got a fair few players who have never played with the legendary imtoohot, so we better introduce you guys to the playing group before the first game, and explain that they don't need to lead if imtoohot gets the ball, and they shouldn't get angry if imtoohot disposses them because he was the better option... :)

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
