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

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
