Have worked out how to do an audio broadcast commentary, time to find out that commentating is just like playing and that I've got no aptitude for either. Should be less chance of broken bones this wa

I've secured a little midfield grunt and an outside, roving, tip rat of a forward. Hoping a couple of old team mates from the Shanghai Tigers days get along as well.

Looks like we've got a healthy squad.

First injured (and that won't take long) assumes coaching duties for the remainder of the afternoon.

Just don't try to drag me.

Rollo, as always, great work.

Good job yourself, mate.

I will add it to the lIst as you plus 2 unless you tell me that's not accurate.

I haven't properly tested this yet, but if it works live commentary (of varying quality) should be available via http://mixlr.com/supermercado/ from about 10.20am. No doubt this 'revolutionary technology' will fail miserably.

In preparation for the big call I've been at NAB Footify FM school with Hamish McLachlan. He's taught me to do Weekend At Bernies references at every available opportunity.

Welcome to my world, super...

We organisers are like umpires...

If it all works out, nobody will notice...

But if it goes wrong, you will never hear the end of it... :lol:

putting rollo2 in charge of the bench...

is like putting a terrorist in charge of the fertiliser... :blink:

he has played one season too many and is recovering from a serious back injury...

I need all players and helpers to physically restrain him from donning the boots and stepping over the white line...

If the "confirmed" numbers are anything to go by, looks like we should have enough players to be able keep a fast paced, quick moving game plan alive.

What are the numbers like for our opposition? Any idea what they have enlisted?

Hey, steve...

bomberblitz have the most talented organiser around...

his name is scotty21, and he guarantees lots of numbers and a contest...

saw a recent post on bomberblitz where scotty21 said something like "don't worry, melbourne will be there"...

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
