We don't know yet if the pies are going to play...

If they turn up with at least 10 players, it will be a 3-way contest...

If not, we will play a full game against bomberblitz...

Whispering Jack may put in a cameo appearance tomorrow...

[DeeM 42]

Justto confirm. Start at 10.30, or be there then??

We want to start at 11am...

[Supermercado 2,797]

Reminder - highly ambitious attempt at a live call via http://mixlr.com/supermercado/. If first bounce is 11am I'll move the starting time back to 10.50 to give me time to work out who everyone is.

As long as it's not a total disaster archives of the call will be available at that address afterwards.

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

Il have to pull out Rollo. Couldnt get out of work so massive apologis mate!

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

Good luck to all the boys today ... I was hoping to be able to make it but work commitments (I'm going overseas next week) will probably prevent me from turning up until late, if at all.

I'm sure you're in good hands with Rollo, Paul, Wise and Supermercado

[rollinson 65 181]

Django is another late apology...

rolled his ankle playing cricket...

[Little Richard 6,262]

Sorry Rollo, good luck fellas!

[cowboy_from_hell 2,390]

Ah I jus woke up and have a very sore head. My bad Rollo.

[Wolfmother 182]

Good luck boys

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

Dees win by 20 goals over the Bombers at Olympic Park.

The lead was by over 10 goals at half time and with Paul Gardner coaching, I didn't expect the boys to let up and while I wasn't able to follow Supermercado's commentary but I'm sure the Chris Sullivan line cracke a mention at some point.

Well done lads ... Reports to come.

[Yossarian 1,820]

20 goals? Bloody hell. They'll stop playing us if this keeps up.

[dazzledavey36 54,889]

Good work boys. Spewin i couldnt have played. I would have kicked 10.

[Whispering_Jack 30,054]

Good work boys. Spewin i couldnt have played. I would have kicked 10.

If I was coaching today, you would have had to kick them from a back pocket

I live to see the day an AFL score line reads like that.

I live to see the day an AFL score line reads like that.

if the bummers get a few infractions you might see it sooner than later

[45HG 1,539]

Unfortunately, we've already seen a similar scoreline this year...

[rollinson 65 181]

MANY THANKS

to Paul Gardner for coaching...(he said it wasn't a difficult gig)...

To supermercado for organising the live broadcast and bringing extra jumpers...

to webber for assisting the umys and acting as stand-by medico...

to the guys who brought extra numbers - brett, wise and steve the ruckman...(we would have been embarrassed for numbers without you guys)...

to everyone who played today...(it was great to watch but I got a stiff neck from watching the ball going over my head)...

to scotty21 from bomberblitz for organising so well...(he is the most-talented forum footy organiser I have ever come across)...

[rollinson 65 181]

Ah I jus woke up and have a very sore head. My bad Rollo.

We voted to forgive you, cowboy, as long as we won by 20 goals...

you are forgiven...

your replacement at full-forward (bonna) was not too shabby...

[Demon Jack 6,909]

Anyone snap any photos?

[rollinson 65 181]

Anyone snap any photos?

dunno, mate...

the bench was a bit thin...

and the players were a bit busy kicking goals...

somebody got us on an I-phone singing the song at the end of the game...

time will tell, I guess...
