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.

    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:-

    Venue: Victoria Park...

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

    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...

    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...

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • 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.
