"Two suggested items not may have already been covered...

strapping tape for ankles"

hey, pb...

there will be ice for the beer, but it is not to be wasted on injuries... :)

there will be the odd bandaid for the odd ankle, but you should bring your own strapping tape... B)

only two of our players have ever suffered injuries in these games...

jimi9 from demonland and rivvo from demonology...

they were accidents because both players were trying too hard...

not a bad record...

it's a social game, and all of the guys who have played can assure you that nobody gets ironed out, we all have to turn up to work the next day...

on the other hand, demonland has never had to face up to demonology before...

could be blood on the grass... ;)

OK, it's official...

the bluebaggers want to wear their CFC jumpers, so demonology will have to play with their MFC jumpers turned inside-out...

not such a great sacrifice to play on the winning team... :)

should be a great game but demonland, I fear, are going down... B)

Why do our jumpers have to be inside out?

"Why do our jumpers have to be inside out?"

hey, happening...

as far as I know, you are not a member on demonology...

so I assume you will be playing for demonland...

because talkingcarlton are way down on numbers, the game will be demonology/talkingcarlton versus demonland...

the demonland guys (including you) will be wearing the MFC strip, but the talkingcarlton guys will be wearing the CFC strip and the guys from demonology playing with them will need to wear their MFC jumpers inside-out to avoid confusion...

clear as mud ??

yes, we have no bananas... :)

talkingcarlton are way down on numbers, so the game is shaping as a contest between demonology/talkingcarlton and demonland...

talkingcarlton will be wearing the CFC strip, the demonology boys will need to wear their MFC tops inside out, and demonland gets to wear the colours...

A small point is 10.30 game commencement time or time to arrive?

Thanks

hey, pb...

we want everyone to turn up at about 10am...

here is a message I will be sending out soon to everyone involved:

"Reminder we are playing this coming Sunday, February 20 at 10.30 am at Gosch’s Paddock.

Melway map reference 2G E10.

TRAIN to Richmond station, walk south down Punt Road (city side). If you come to Boulton Parade, you have gone too far.

CAR. Free parking may be available at the Punt Road Oval. If not, you can try the Richmond side streets south of Swan Street, but I prefer the commercial car parks in Swan Street. There is one east of the intersection with Punt Road and one west of that intersection.

WEATHER. Extended forecast says 22 degrees, numerous showers, mostly cloudy, cool. Maximum temperature 22 degrees. The operative word is “showers”, so footy boots are a must.

People, its Melbourne so bring WATER and SUNSCREEN!!!

Helpers, we have never had enough additional water, so please do not slack off on your commitments.

Everyone, please bring additional jumpers (if you have them) for players without.

Wolfmother is going to a lot of trouble to organise an after-match barbeque and we are trying to raise funds for the Flood Relief effort.

We are asking everyone to donate $20.00 (or whatever they can afford) to the Flood Relief effort.

See you Sunday at 10.00 am or thereabouts.

Players and helpers who have not committed, or who are late apologies, please update your status by posting on the thread on Demonland, by sending me a pm, or by texting me on 0408 698 328."

need somebody to put up their hand to coach demonology/talkingcarlton...

and still looking for a volunteer to be umpy's assistant...

some emails have bounced back, and not everyone is contactable by pm, so here is the message I have tried to sent out to everyone involved:

    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.
