    bloody hell...

    I am on the train to Albury with reception dropping in and out...

    can somebody drop by gosch's this weekend and report on the 2 ovals and whether or not they have goalposts ??

    looks like we can play at glenferrie if we start at 10am, but I am wondering if other sites' organisers have been given the wrong info about gosch's being "under reconstruction"...

    let me know...

    thanks,

    rollo

    saints are now officially non-starters, which solves the venue problem...

    (the venue is needed for a charity match at 2pm)...

    hey, guys, here is message sent today to scotty (bomberblitz organiser) repeated on all forum boards:

    Dear Scotty,

    Realise you are interstate and may not get this for a while.

    The saints have dropped out, and the pies are struggling for numbers.

    The saints dropping out means we will be clear of Glenferrie well before the Charity match begins at 2pm.

    Because dons and dees have massive numbers, and may have to loan players to pies, I suggest the following format:

    Each game 2 X 20 minute halves, 5 minute break at half time.

    11am dons v dees

    11.50am pies v dees

    12.40pm dons v pies

    If pies play second, that will give us plenty of time to work out how many players they need to be loaned, work out jumpers etc.

    If anybody objects to this format, we dees will be happy to flip a coin etc to decide on the order of play.

    Confirm that quality, professional umpires have been retained again this year.

    Let me know (when you can access this message).

    Regards,

    Rollo

    Rollo can get there as a helper or assistant to Jack. Only one arm fully functional, so can't be used to signal goals...points only!

    George

    that's great, george... :wub:

    we'll put you down at the essendon goals... :)

    actually, to be serious, your value lies in your camera arm...

    can you still take odd photos with just one arm ??

    regards,

    you should be taking a bow, scotty, not apologising...

    under the rollo approach, we would have turned up at gosch's to admire the holes in the ground...

    I will try to make it down if only to hear the inspirational addresses of WJ.

    and to write various bits of derogatory grafitti on the walls of Glenferrie Oval.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
