forgot to say, I am trying to find out why the MFC footy department directed tom scully not to keep his commitment to demonland on february 20, and I will post the reason on here....

Wasn't a biggie

As a sponsor I can request his attendance at one event a year. I sent the request through to MFC regarding this event and thus the post that he could attend. Speaking to the corporate people about the request and after a week the FD mentioned their concerns because they try to ensure the guys get Sunday off especially in the off season. I also txt Tom who mentioned he had a day off and a family event to attend. I then post that he couldn't attend.

The club came back to confirm what was occurring and if he was required to play because of training loads and injuries etc etc. By the look of it he could of been made to attend the event but personally I see the boys working every weekend during the season and after Tom told me about his family event I told the club we can rearrange. So with insistence he would of attended but I choose not to push it.

I'm always happy to donate his attendance at an event run by bigfooty or demonland for Melbourne fans but just this one go....

"I should be available to play..."

have to consult my records, mick...

but I think if you play on february 20, you and doggo (if he turns up sober and is allowed to play)... :o ...will beat oxxx's record for the most forum footy games ever played for the red and blue... :blink:

and you will both be the only guys on the field who played in that first (remarkable, unforgettable) game against saintsational... :o

with a wet sail, and a genuine VFL player, they kicked 2 million goals in the last quarter, but we won by a point and an independent and unbiased goal umpy, to this day, stands by his decision... :)

Great memories from that 1st match Rollo! It's been a few years now hasn't it? I'm about a million kegs heavier than when we first started these games.

Unfortunately i won't be playing this year (or anytime soon). Battling some pretty bad chronic tendonitis in my left knee. Think this might be the end for this former Vin Catoggio Medalist's long and distinguished Demonland career, often marred by inconsistency, injuries, weight management and "off-field" issues... ;)

bananas is in, but will he want to play for demonology or demonland ?? This may be a hard choice for many of our players, who are members on both sites, but surely the first site you joined gets the nod ??

Against my better judgement I'll play if the numbers are crocked. Otherwise will stay in the commentary booth/assistant coaching.

hey, supermercado...

you are not the only bloke on here who can't count...

I have had pm's suggesting we cancel because our numbers are poor...

count them, please...

we have about 30 - 20 from here and 10 from demonology - and talkingcarlton have 13 at the moment...

please don't bring your footy boots...

like me, your talents lie elsewhere... B)

and look up the spelling of "judgment"...

adding an "e" where it doesn't belong is a generation Y thing...

like not being able to spell "definitely"...

regards,

rollo

judgment - Traditionally, the word has been spelled judgment in all forms of the English language. However, the spelling judgement (with e added) largely replaced judgment in the United Kingdom in a non-legal context. In the context of the law, however, judgment is preferred. This spelling change contrasts with other similar spelling changes made in American English, which were rejected in the UK. In the US at least, judgment is still preferred and judgement is considered incorrect by many American style guides.

Not to be pedantic in an otherwise unrelated thread BUT I did look up the correct spelling, and quoth the Oxford Style Guide...

In British English, the spelling judgment is correct when referring to a court's or judge's formal ruling, whereas the spelling judgement is used for other meanings

Seems to me that it's the Americans who like to drop the E every time. I would say at the very least both are acceptable spellings.

Update - What deevoted said first..

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
