    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...

    '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:

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
