[NO MERGER 20]

Can't believe it was 6 years ago when I played my first forum match... at Glenferrie Oval. These are the only 'realtime' footy games I play apart from the AFL 9's so it is always a pleasure to catch up with the old crew and meet some new ones.

Rollo, I have enticed 'Dave' my mate who came and filled in a few times to come along... He has expressed interest in playing, umpiring or even playing for the Bombers since he's a diehard supporter.

The things we do for the love and pride of our jumper.

See you boys tomorrow.

[GIRO 63]

Do you need anyone else? 193cm 82 kg haven't played in 6 years though pretty unfit willing to help

[Rollo2 64]

GIRO, all are welcome. And there have been some late apologies. I think rollo1 is in bed, so I'm going to say come on down!

second that...

we can always use more helpers, and we can't guarantee our numbers until Whispering jack does his final count before game time...

we have got better in recent years, but there are always late apologies and no-shows...

[GIRO 63]

Apologies can't be a helper today sorry

[Arrow 1,257]

Anyone have a size 11 pair of boots handy?! Don't need quality just any pair would be great!

[Arrow 1,257]

All good regardless found some.

[Whispering_Jack 29,779]

Half Time: Dees 4.2.16 to Bombers 2.1.13

[Supermercado 2,797]

Full time - Melbourne 10.3.63 to Essendon 4.1.25. Match against pies now in progress.

Some bikies are waiting to play a game after, so if we all die carry on in our names.

[Supermercado 2,797]

Shock second game loss to an unholy alliance of Collingwood and Essendon 6.8.44 to 2.2.14

Pies and Bombers about to play now, bikes getting antsy. Gunfire imminent.

[Whispering_Jack 29,779]

Bombers beat the Pies in the truncated final game.

Organisers shunned the Duckworth-Lewis system and went for the normal %age rule to separate the teams and it was a win to the Dees!

Phew!

After kicking 1.5 I think i'll be relegated to the backline next time, but very relieved we snuck home. Thanks to the organisers and all who came out, especially Clint Bartram, was a fun dsy as always and good to see the other teams getting good numbers along as well.

[Demonsterative 3,020]

The Demon curse on the Bombers continues. Well Done guys. A gutsy effort and you did the MFC proud.

Now the big question is, was there any talent worthy of a late draft pick playing today?

[Little Richard 6,262]

Cheers guys for a fun couple of games, looking forward to the next one.

[Supermercado 2,797]

Working on an audio (at least) broadcast of the next game. Chances of getting any of our players names right will be remote, chances of any of the opposition players nil.
