Forum Footy Lightning Premiership - October 10


rollinson 65

Recommended Posts

I am still waiting to hear from tassie dee, but I understand the problems. We still have no coach, but none of the other sides ever try. And we have a few coaching irons in the fire. Umpys are in place, and bomberblitz have a super squad, so we are assured of at least one tough contest, even if the saints and pies run out of organising time. Great to see doggo back. Here is the updated list:-

Date: sunday, october 10...

Time: 12pm...

Venue: Victoria Park...

Versus : nick's pies site, saintsational, bomberblitz...

Format: to be confirmed ("tbc")...

each game 2 x 20 minute halves

team 1 v team 2

team 3 v team 4

losers play

winners play

Players: supermercado, demon tingles, wise (captain), the russian, roost it, rollo2, junior, madness, melbournefc, david, deemitch, scotty, the stynes factor, ucanchoose, wolfmother, charlesy, dumbo, heater, kingsley, junior2, travis, funky41, swooper, pudge, rio, smitta, doggo (dragging one leg :) )...

emergencies: bennythejet, Demon Hill...

Players tbc: wise guy sam, DeezMan, grant, jacko, paolo, tarzan16...

Apologies (players): wonnabeeri, mickrocks1, dazzledavey36, pringle, E25, freak, carn dees, grimes4, toot182, benno, bananas, joeyjimjams, tassie dee...

Coaches: (gasp, no takers yet!)...

Apologies (coaches): whispering jack, redleg...

Helpers: rollinson 65, DemonRevival, tassie dee, Demon Hill,...

Helpers tbc: diesel, toot182...

Apologies (helpers): dee knees, rivvo, jacko13, brettmcg...

Umpires: 2 quality umpys from the VAFA...

Players and helpers please post on here and I will update the list as required. Dons have had a terrible season and the guys on bomberblitz are jumping out of their skins to put together a team that can knock us off...

I nominate Wolfmother to be coach!

He's got worse hammy's than Garry Lyon and Stephen Tingay combined. So he'll only last a few quarters out there anyway!!

second that nomination...

we need to have somebody there to drag the captain if he mangles too many people... :)

will never forget wolf's last game against talkingcarlton, when it was him and you and tassie dee who turned it around in the guts when the game was there to be won or lost...

Hmmm, I'm warming to WJ's idea of captain/coach.

Rollo you'll be comforted to know that I'm saving the fury for the following week - when I'll line up for the China Reds in the Asia Champs in Shanghai. That's going to get willing...

If I'm getting remembered for turning a game around I might hang up the boots as it won't happen again...

With my fitness and hamstrings happy to coach as long as DR is the assistant ( just in case I get the urgeto run on for five minutes :)

Don't think DR will have a problem with that, wolf, but I will let him speak for himself...

Tarzan won't be an issue... Rollo is offline for a few days.

I've updated the original thread for the new positions

good job, wolf... :wub:

I am back on line, and will definitely be there Sunday...

I will spend the next few days checking out the opposition, getting definite commitments from the umpys, finalising the format etc...

Hey Rollo,

My mate Benn (who has played in a forum game couple of years back) is interested in coming down for another run this year. He's a big bloke with a nice left boot, and can play forward or back. I understand the numbers are looking pretty good, but he's happy to sit on the bench and just be used as needed; same deal as me really.

Have we got a ruckman this year? I'm happy to pinch hit in the ruck rotating thru the pocket, but my fitness and leap has been affected pretty badly by the knee and quad injuries, so playing a full match in the ruck this time round isnt really an option.

Hope that's cool..

Regards

Doggo

great job, tassie dee...saints especially look to be way down on numbers, but if they have to pull out, it can turn into a genuine round robin. Here is the updated list:-

great stuff, mate...

the organisers were only holding back because whispering jack had offered to sell his daughters to find us a coach, and we thought to let him have first dibs... :)

I am an enormous rugolo/hopgood fan and I, for one, applaud your efforts... :wub:

I was great Mates with Joe & Frank, back in the day, & it sounded like something Frank would jump at. I thought it would be a thrill for our Boys to have an Ex DEE, down there beside them.

    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

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
