    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.

    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...

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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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?

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
