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!

If I was playing, (which I won't) I'd take that role off you at 174 cm and 55 kg...thing is being 15 I'd get my ass kicked

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?

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
