It's been so long since I logged on here I'd forgotten my password! I'm back and I'm in for the game! I really missed not playing the last one and this one is definitely for a good cause :) Looking forward to the challenge to win the Big Karl Cup (that's right isn't it?)

Anyone thought of making it a facebook event via the Demonology/Demonland page or do we not want that sort of public promotion?

hey, toot...

welcome aboard...

you have been missed...

no, my young friend, it's not the "big carl", that's the trophy we play for against the sainters, named after carl ditterich, who played for both clubs (in your defence, probably before you were born)...

we play against talkingcarlton for the "Duke", named after Earl Spalding, who (you guessed it) played for both clubs...

Jesus, I hope you were born before Earl stated strutting his stuff, or rollo is going to activate his suicide plan...

and nobody has thought about facebook, a creature of the modern world I have heard about with vague horror, but you are welcome to do something about it...

guys, I have been talking to tassie dee on demonology, and we just don't have to worry about numbers...

I have many texts and emails and pm's I have to update, but I am working day and night for the rest of this week...

I will try to update the availability post on the weekend...

regards,

rollo

Sorry for the oversight Rollo - clearly too long out of the game.

Anyway, I know you've just said that we might be OK for numbers but I also have a mate who is new to Melbourne and is very keen to come down for a run. His name is Hans (as in Hans from the mighty ducks, quack quack - although I don't think he looks like him)

Anyway, looking forward to the updates and having a run around in the red and blue again!!

I might have to pull on the boots too if we don't have the numbers.

GO ANDY GO-I'll be contacting Pringle to make sure you play on the ball for the whole match as we will need a dedicated true performer.

As we get closer to the game, maybe players should nominate a couple of positions they feel they would be best suited to playing. Obviously not everyone will get what they want, but at least I'll have an idea when selecting a starting 18. From that point on I guess well be able to tweak according to what we see on match day.

I like to play CHF, and have played there in previous forum games, but have also played in the backline, despite my complete lack of manning up and chasing ability

MR Scully can't attend Sunday at the direction of the FD...

Although he did mention something about not having to put up with demonlanders for much longer :) which was a little strange ;)

I love the forward line, but then, so do most of us. In a lot better shape than last time I had a run, but still probably not fit enough for the midfield. So forward line or backline for me.

Half forward flank please

Yet nonetheless defensive. But you're right in that I don't really have a clue about AFL defense. So just forward line for me then please coach! Or centre half bench. ;)

    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.

    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.
