    BrettMCG organised them last time... didn't he...

    Would he me worth a Pm

    think he is away, wolf...

    but I will try him again if I don't hear from the umpy's tomorrow...

    on second thoughts, I will try him again anyway, because he came up with boundary and goal umpys last time he helped out...

    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...

    I think Bombers & Saints 1st game followed by Pies & us...

    I wouldn't stress over the coaching situation, I'm sure we will muddle our way through...

    Does anybody have a magnetic white board & magnets that they can bring along???

    Hi Rollo and crew - have sent you a PM.

    Will be in Shanghai as part of the Showdown Tour, so won't be able to help you out I'm afraid!

    Best of luck - I'm sure the umpires will look after you!

    Hey Rollo, sorry to get back to you so late! Haven't had much time for 'Land recently.

    With regards to this lightning premiership, I'm still getting over the effects of a torn quad and knee injuries from my 1st year back in competitive footy this season (played the first 7 then missed the last 11 weeks with injury). Any improvement i might have made in fitness from last year will be long gone now. But I'd love to come down and have a run, on modified game time... ;)

    I hear you, DR...

    the problem is the sainters are notoriously late...

    still happy to push for what the players want, but we could do with some more posts on this issue... :unsure:

    so hird is coaching essendon, but who is coaching demonland ?? :wacko:

    over to you, WJ... :blink:

    Does anyone have Paul Hopgoods contacts, who knows he might be able to be tempted to Instruct with a wry smile & a return taxi fare & sundries.

    Just a thought...

    Also, I'd seriously consider Joe & Frank Rugolo @ Car Bench Aust...

    Super, Are you sure that you don't want to start your media career doing commentary of this day instead of the nearly guaranteed end result that you will be facing???

    'rollinson 65', I thought you where looking for a (forum footy) coach?

    I had a thought that Frank, Rugolo could/would enjoy doing something like this. The Frank I knew would have loved, IMO, to do something like this.

    I've been out of contact with him for a while, so I thought I'd just make the suggestion & give the contact details,,, in case one of you guys were interested.

    No luck with the coach as yet.

    Wise is firming for the role of captain coach.

    I just rang Frank Rugolo & he said he would have loved to have back in the day, but he cant ATMO, & he's just had an Op. But he suggested that he might like to come down for a look if he can make it before flying O/S.

    He was flattered to be thought of for the gig.

    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:

    • 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.
