[DeeM 42]

Rollo, DeeM is Deemitch. not that it really matters.

and hopefully we get another one of these games early next year. I don't know about the other 'outs' but i'm getting sick of not wearing that red and blue

well, mate thanks for clearing that up...

it has taken the other forums over a year to forget their humiliation at the hands of the mighty dee mon landers...

so, after October 21, you might have to wait for a couple more years... B)

still, I have passed on everything I know to scotty, the bomberblitz organiser, so maybe we are in for a scare on October 21...

somehow, despite the absence of some of our best regulars, my gut says the team we have will prevail...

[rollinson 65 181]

Dear Whispering Jack,

You are the coach,and I am not a coach’s bootlace…

but I am the only demonlander who has watched every game we have played as demonland/demonology/dees bigfooty since 2006, so I feel entitled to give you my thoughts…

rollo2 is my son. Played his junior soccer as a close-checking defender, but in AFL does not have a defensive bone in his body. Took the winning mark and kicked the winning goal for us that sent talkingcarlton out of forum footy (hopefully not) forever… awkward kicking style, but has never missed a set shot for us, not quite 6 foot but marks above his height, especially when the kick is centered to the goal square. Recommend starting forward pocket…

Rollo2 is bringing 2 mates… unknown quantities…

Deanox is a veteran. Fierce ( davey like) tackler on the forward line and surprising goal-kicker. Recommend starting forward pocket to crumb at the contest…

The Russian,another veteran, has been our starting CHB for many years. There has been muttering from this hulking mass of football talent in past years, but no formal written complaint. In the absence of rivvo, heater and charlesy this year, I recommend we name him as starting CHF. When he shanks his first couple of shots at goal, he will thank you for sending him down back…

The Russian’s mate…unknown quantity…

Demonland 7… new player, unknown quantity…

Jonesbag… new player, unknown quantity, but puts himself forward as a midfielder. Wise would like the bragging, so I recommend we start him on a wing, and promote him to midfield if his performance deserves…

Yossarian…new player…unknown quantity…

Cowboy from hell… veteran… in heater’s absence, demands the FF spot he played so well in heater’s last absence

…

The stynes factor…veteran who will equal the mickrocks1 record for most games played if mick does not play this time…superfit red-haired midfielder…I recommend him as Captain in the absence of Wise and starting Centre…

Nat is a talented player, smaller but can play anywhere on the flanks. A goal sneak, he can also tag. I remember him playing for demonology against demonland tagging charlesy. Charlesy asked his brother, heater, if he had managed to lay a punch on Nat. “Not even close” said heater. Hey, coach, nat can tag, but I recommend him as a starting Half-back who will run all day…

Syrus…new player…unknown quantity…

Leeroy…new player…brother of dazledavy36…Athletic Ruckman of the natanui type ! Wants to change at CHB, releasing the Russian to play CHF…

Demon tingles… veteran… best at FB, so his bellowing only unnerves the backline, and is not heard full-blast by our gittery forwards when they are shooting for goal…

Dazzledavey36…veteran midfielder who picks himself…I recommend starting midfield…

Saka88…new player…unknown quantity…

Grimes4…veteran…this guy can play anywhere…he rucks, he roves, he reads music, he is ron barassi reborn…I recommend he start in midfield…

Tom…veteran…Ruckman…multiple award winner from past games…recommend starting ruckman changing with Leeroy at CHB…

Tassie dee…veteran…smaller player…can play anywhere on the flanks…great shot for goal on the run…recommend starting HB…

Melournefc…veteran…like rollo2, no defensive bones…multiple goalkicker in past games…needs to be close to goal…recommend forward pocket when substituting …

So, Jack, my best guess at a starting line-up:

B: yossarian/ demon tingles/ the russian’s mate

HB: nat/ leeroy/ tassie dee

C: jonesbag/ the stynes factor/ tassie dee mate1

HF: rollo2 mate1/ the Russian/ demonland7

F; rollo2/ cowboy from hell/ deanox

Followers: tom, dazzledavey36, grimes4

Players and observers, please feel free to comment…

Whispering Jack will do what he wants on the day…

In past games, our major problem has been the crowding of our forward line by our own players…

This game, I would beg our backs and wings to trust our talented forwards to kick the goals…

You guys are just causing congestion if you go forward…

Better to form a defensive barrier at the centre to send the pill back if and when it comes back out…

Rollo has said more than enough…

[the_russian 17]

In addition to Rollos plea, I played CHF all year at my club this year, and while I've been in a good paddock since the seasons end, I think I can hold down the spot

Vote 1 Russian CHF

[Jonesbag 487]

God im excited for this, after missing all year with an injury I need to play a game of football!!!

[Arrow 1,257]

Good call for DL7 on the HFF. I'm happy to go down back once we've won the game but only after I've kicked 5 or 6.

As you know I am new, what do we wear?

I also enjoyed my write up, along with everyone elses and am quite happy to be playing on the wing.

I assume a melbourne jumper is the go with any shorts ?

Pretty much. I always bring a few spares down if anyone needs one, provided they don't mind having no.40 on the back

[Jonesbag 487]

Great number, great player.

Im trying to swindle the girlfriend into coming along, shes a trainer at a football club so if fellas need strapping she could help out provided you bring your own tape.

ps no groin rubs

[Junior 46]

I'll play thanks Rollo.

[Yossarian 1,820]

Happy to play the small defender role. I usually start alright so the other team sends their token hulking mass over to flatten me which tends to take the shine off the day. Give us a heads up if you see one plodding around after me.

Happy to take the Full forward spot again. I will give it up if Jesse Hogan feels like having a kick though.

Actually I'm 3.2 from set shots for Demonland. No Buddy Franklin, but still fairly bad.

Also all my VAFA this year was in defence and am starting to get the hang of it. But do like a run up forward.

PS I think Syrus may have played last game, I remember a fairly big key position type who played CHB but may deserve a shot up forward this time. Could be wrong though. ?

[scotty21 23]

Saints numbers are looking ok but we are still waiting for them to confirm.

Here are some draft formats

Format: 2 x 15 min halfs with a 5 min half time break and a 10 min break between games

If the saints play:

11:00am: Dees vs Pies

11:45am: Bombers vs Saints

12:30pm: Pies vs Saints

1:15pm: Bombers vs Dees

2:00pm: Bombers vs Pies

2:45: Dees vs Saints

If the saints dont play:

11:00: Dons vs Dees

11:45: Dees vs Pies

12:30: Dons vs Pies

can't see any problem with this, scotty, except if some team needs to sit out for two games, we would rather draw lots...

(it's pretty bloody boring)...

kind of hoping either saints or pies pull out, so we have 3 teams and 3 games...
