Will e-mail you soon. Dislocated my knee last night (ongoing problem) but still want to have a run. How serious is the game taken in terms of physicality? Might have to opt to help out in another way.

sorry to hear that, sam...

there have been a couple of serious knee injuries over the years, and a shoulder...

nobody takes it seriously enough to want to deliberately inflict injury...

but even playing kick to kick in the backyard, there are risks in any contact sport...

if you decide to help instead of play, we have plenty of jobs available...

apart from our first year (obviously), I can't think of another year when we have had so many new faces...

last game, talkingcarlton let us down (turning up with 3 players) so we played a game between demonland and demonology...

can't quite remember who won... :)

we may be able to field two teams again in this round robin, because there has been no interest from talkingcarlton, puntroadend or saintsational...

I will be talking to the hawks, but not until their finals campaign has ended (and they haven't played forum footy for 5-7 years)...

if we can't field two teams again, that's not such a bad result, because it will mean a true round robin, with each team playing every other team...

How many do you have over on 'ology rollinson?

It's hard to measure this, S475, with so many posters posting on both sites.

This time, I am only putting the team list on here, and will add any demonologists who don't post on here myself.

Can somebody post details of the game on the big footy site before they accuse me again of forgetting them ?? (can never find my way onto that site myself)...

Good luck Dees. Let's kick off this new era of dominating the Pies early.

Rollo - thanks again for organizing, if you can get a game off the ground post November I'll be back in Aus for a run.

hey, wise...

look at all the new faces in the team !!

(I haven't called the troops yet)...

new faces can read about captain wise (aka wise monkey) by searching "forum footy" on the site...

He played in our very first game, has captained most games, and we will (hopefully) see him again on his visits back to Aus...

Wise, game after this will probably be february next year, does that suit ??

grant and benno are injured, that must give the opposition a sniff (although neither we nor they know the quality of our many new faces)...

wow, full side already and we're a month out!

hey, S475..

I remember 2006...

we had a list of 23...

11 guys had turned up by the bounce...

saintsational loaned us 7 quality players, 3 of whom were amongst our best on the day...

it was our only loss in the history of forum footy and we swore we would never be complacent again...

so the pm's, texts and emails will be going out to all our former players this weekend...

if we can put 2 teams on the park, good...

if not, having too many players is better than being complacent...

Rollo, I'm still in as Director of Coaching but I should let you know that I'm waiting for a phone call from Linnen House. Can't say very much at this stage but the Saints want someone with experience and a winning record so it looks like it's going to be either Rodney Eade or my good self. If I get the gig Westaway and the Board could put the pressure on.

mickrocks1 has announced he "should be right to play"...

mick, as the only surviving member (so far) of our first ever forum footy game in 2005 (have not heard from doggo, freak or any of the other originals), I hope you have private health insurance...

I can't see myself playing now, this knee is troubling me and your comment about private health insurance reminded me that I don't have any and perhaps risking injury for the sake of a forum footy game is not the best idea.

Will more than likely come down to help though

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
