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.

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


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

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)...

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.

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...

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

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

ok, mate, let us know ASAP...

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

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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
