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...

You can't beat a website with four tabs at the top which say TEST and don't do anything.

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???

Last time the forum footy was held, there was talk of the matches being filmed & Super was going to do commentary... I hope that meets your requirements of relating to the topic...

'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:

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
