Forum Footy in October?

Featured Replies

Posted

Dunno why the pies forum should be keen to play in early october, since they are still in the finals ... but they have been in contact, and tell me that Vic Park will be available only on Sunday, 3 October or the following Sunday, 10 October.

Are we interested in playing this early?

If so, do people have a preference for one of these dates?

Forum Footy players and organisers, please post on this thread and I will get back to the Pies organisers...

btw, their idea is to invite a total of 4 sites (including them) to field teams on the chosen day ...

 

I can't say no to the chance to break my finger and elbow again. IN.

WOOOOOOOOOO been waiting for this my team won the granny yesterday and still on a high.. GET IT DONE ROLLO :)

 

I could be that tall skinny Cale Morton player. IN!


Rollo. Brilliant!

I'm living in Shanghai nowadays, but as luck would have it I'm back in Australia over those weekends.

I'd love a run and can probably bring a few extra numbers.

will need your strict promise, wise, that you will not (without provocation) set out to permanently injure the opposition players...

(not that there is anything wrong with that, but it looks good in print)...

Rollo, you're cheeky, but you have whatever assurances you need that I will not play outside of the spirit of the game.

There were no issues last year...

It's only Carlton I've historically had troubles with - and I've received more cheap shots than I've given fair hits from that mob.

 

What is this?

Do Demonland members play matches against other teams forum members?

It seems that they do and have been quite successful in the past :).

I'm available on 3 October but not 10 October (going to a wedding).

I have someone who might coach the team who coached at VAFA Under 19 level who I think is quite good and would fit in well with the players. He's a Demons supporter of course as is his brother who is a gun footballer with a basketball background who could be our very own Jack Watts playing at CHF (194cm etc). Don't know yet if either of them is available but I take it there are no objections if I take it further.

I'm in Aus for Oct 3 but not Oct 10.

Would it be too risky to play a game of football a day before departing on a three month voyage?

think i might have to give this one a miss

That would be me, minus the engine. I'm in as well


In for 3rd, not 10th.

I can bring some friends if we need them

Definately in Rollo BRING IT ON !

:( I need operations on both hips. I'm out for this season. May try to make a comeback next year if the surgeon says it's ok. But I'm in serious doubt and more likely than not have played my last game in the red and blue guernsey of Demonland.

DRAT, sorry Rollo I generally hate spelling mistakes too ... Studying I shall go

Hey... I never misdiagnosed an ACL. I was non-committal. I told whoever it was (?Riv) that he needs to be examined again as it's often hard to tell straight away. Was it an ACL?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
