Rollo,

I won't be able to confirm until Friday! Sorry for the late notice. It looks like you have 31 players though, so I doubt you'll miss me either way.

Deanox

[rollinson 65 181]

Saintsational are back in !!

Deanox, you are one of the few players who provide the X-factor, so don't tell anyone on site, but you can confirm anytime you want... :wub:

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

I'll try to fall off the top of the coaches box or something to keep the mood light.

hey, super...

with the revised and extended format, the umpys will really need an umpys assistant...

and no one has yet put their hand up...

it involves running water to them when they signal...

one of our umpys is VFL, but is still keen to help us out...

would really appreciate it if you would volunteer for this job on Sunday...

still leaves you free to help out in many other ways - waterboy, goal umpy, coaches' runner, timekeeper etc...

the helpers are stretched thin...

let me know...

regards,

rollo

[rollinson 65 181]

long range weather forecast for sunday says 12 degrees to 23 degrees, showers late afternoon, mild, humid...

[deanox 9,898]

If I make it, will I get away with my metal studded rugby boots, or should I bring some flats?

[WhateverItTakes 17]

First time watergirl here.

How much water is too much water?

I was thinking about finding a cheap slab of water bottles...

perfect, mate, I will have an esky full and, hopefully, wolfmother will come through as well...

(we usually run out no matter how much we bring)...

don't like the sound of those metal studs, mate...

(ferocious tackler that you are)...

[Striker475 696]

I'm just wearing runners, ground's going to be pretty hard after the heat this week

hey, whispering jack...

saints organiser says we should bring the big carl trophy, because it is going to change hands on sunday...

assume it will be no problem for you to bring it ??

(we should at least give them a look at it before we win it again)...

for first timers, I should explain that big carl (named for carl ditterich) is the trophy awarded for the winner of the saintsational/dees matches...

Hope to see you there Rollo.

[rollinson 65 181]

Hope to see you there Rollo.

unlike you, mate, I have never missed a forum footy game...

been reminising with the saints organiser about our first ever forum footy game...

we were ahead by 8 goals going into the last quarter...

sainters came home with a wet sail, but we won by 4 points...

people questioned the last goal umpys decision in favour of the dees...

but as the umpy concerned,

I thought it was a goal to give us a win against the play....

didn't help that the player who kicked the goal (freak) subsequently posted on site that he thought it was a point...

but we have moved on...

[Striker475 696]

rollo, back down to +2, might be +1 as my brother's boss has kindly ordered him to work Sunday but he's going to try and get out of it

[rollinson 65 181]

ok, mate, let us know ASAP...

[Dinosaur Rover 197]

Can I clarify that 11.00 is to be there, to play or what?

[rollinson 65 181]

Can I clarify that 11.00 is to be there, to play or what?

coaches would prefer people to turn up at 10.30am...

The Big Carl is in the back seat of my car. Ready to show them - they can look but not touch.

Definitely +2 rollo, brother got the day off work. 3 total including myself.
