"Not sure. I am now scared though"

survival rules (surviving playing with captain wise) :

if he is out of position and screaming for the ball, best give it to him...

if he is lining up an opposition player for a tackle, stay clear of that zone...

when he shanks his passes to the forwards, wipe that smile off your face...

if he notices you and gives you an order (no matter how illogical or obscene), best carry it out, or at least try...

(by my reading of history, no human being has ever been able to have sexual intercourse with themselves)...

it's a white line fever thing (like carl ditterich or rod grinter)...

wise is a lovely bloke this side of the white line, but...

anyway, if the above rules fail you, you can always pretend to be injured and sit out the game on the bench...

swooper and funky41 are out, but heater is back to claim the full-forward slot he has come to own...

Definitely in for the day but god forbid we get a full contingent of confirmed players will be happy to join the ranks of helpers to cut down on the amount of rotation required.

Extremely honourable gesture Super, but that would spoil the day for those of us who enjoy a good laugh at your expense...

I, too, am unlikely to make it. Have a birthday on Sunday that I 'must' attend. You know, one of those birthdays I didn't even consider when I put my hand up to play/help [due to it not even crossing into my conscious awareness], but was swiftly reminded of just a few days a go by the missus.

Best of luck to all involved though, and let us hope we see Demonland win a few games. Will be keen to read impressions etc.

    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
