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 ...

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 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.

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

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?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
