There is a similarity - I believe God was involved in the other one too.

    Smitta is in. He's a midfielder. Good inside player.

    Probably got 2-3 more coming and will confirm over the next couple of days.

    It is bad timing to have this Comp with your 'Special Guest' being in China... Have you already had him attend an event for you yet???

    Haven't had him for an event but can't make it official because they are on leave... Sent him a text because I'm not sure if they leave on the 10th or 13th.... He did mention early in the year that he wanted to play in the middle but I told him hes not up to the standard but if bomberblitz are giving us a run for our money maybe he can play the second half :lol:

    New recruit- Rio.

    Centre half forward. Is a big unit.

    Can pinch hit in the guts.

    Swooper is in. Midfielder. Gun.

    Pudge is in. Midfielder.

    Has played before.

  • Quote

    Swooper is the guy we gave away last time.... hopefully the new coach can see his assets unlike WJ..... :blink::rolleyes: B) :)

    The trade was similar to A.McLeod to Adelaide.... especially when the winners asked him to join them against us :)

    done deal mate, as long as you don't publish this info on site...

    oops, you already did... :)

    you will be his direct opponent...

    sorry, but them's the rules... B)

    The upside is that he's probably the only person on-field that I can beat for pace.

    Rollo, is Carlton not playing this time???

    no, DR...

    talkingcarlton and puntroadend were asked, but dees, saints and dons accepted first, and the pies, who issued the invitation, only wanted 4 teams...

    btw, can somebody stop funky or we will have to field 2 teams... :rolleyes::)

    You ask and I deliver!!

    But let's work out the side closer to the day, cos I dont want to bring my mates down if they are going to barely get a run.

    And they can all seriously play. So it's game on!

    My bet is that you will be playing very loose in defence!!!

    my comment was tongue-in-cheek, funky...

    I can guarantee they will all get as much game time as they desire, saints and pies being predictably without full teams...

    but when we play bomberblitz, they they will all be playing for the red and blue...

    great job, mate... :wub:

    Hats off to funky41. At this rate we stand some sort of a chance to match it with bomberblitz, despite the significant number of regulars missing. (I am not exaggerating - have a look at the bomberblitz site if you don't believe me). I have sent a pm to whispering jack asking him to report progress on finding us a coach or three. I am now waiting to hear from tassie dee. 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...

    emergency: bennythejet...

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

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

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

    Umpires: tbc

    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...

    1.40pm losers play

    2.30pm winners play

    thoughts anyone ??

    a drawn grand final has repercussions everywhere...

    for the forum footy lightning premiership, it means that the pies and sainters will have one less week to get over their celebrating/grieving and organise themselves...

    dons and dees will carve them up on October 10 I am thinking... B)

    it is still a mystery to me why the pies are so keen to play so early... :wacko:

    If WE have a draw in the grand final do WE have to come back next week? :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

    nah, we will play extra time, or agree to an official draw...

    saints and pies deserve both to be afl premiers but money rules, I guess...

    Rollo don't think it is a good format for us and if we are suggesting it we should put it to our advantage.

    Us and the dons are the strongest sides so wouldn't we want to play them at the 2.30pm game?

    Also it would be good to have an easier hit out first up as sometimes the gun players aren't known until the second half of the first game (aka swooper last time) and we don't want to get jumped and miss the final.

    Also it would be nice to play the first game at 12.50 because if we win it is boring as [censored] sitting through two games until the final

    Will probably find out tonight.

    Otherwise, I could do the coaching via teleconference from the wedding I'll be attending. There's always room for another first in football :) .

    will wait to hear from you, WJ... :wub:

    couple of problems, wolf...

    saints and pies are always slow to arrive, and we don't want to be bored (censored) waiting around for the first game to start...

    also, we have never played the dons, and this format ensures that we get to play for the "neale daniher" for the first time...

    having said that, I am happy to push for whatever format you players want, so let's have some more posts on here...

    I doubt I will get much sense out of the saints or pies before the grand final replay wash-up, so we have a bit of time...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
