    Got a pm from a poster today (poster now blocked)...

    Telling me to stay off the board today... ^_^

    Because there is something happening more important than forum footy... :huh:

    (can't think what it might be)...

    There will be a forum footy grand final next Sunday...

    and I am predicting demonland will win...

    If it is not illegal, I am offering odds of 10 to 1...

    I don't gamble, so I am not sure if I have said this right...

    So, to make myself clear...

    If you would like to bet against demonland winning the forum footy next Sunday and bet $1, then if we lose I will pay you $10...

    I disclose that I do have inside information... :cool:

    Any takers ??

    (Players are not allowed to bet. No tanking on demonland !!) :)

    Ridiculous. What could be more important than a brand of footy dominated by the Demons since 2006?

    Jack, the red fox has demanded the whiteboard...

    have you located it ??

    I am in Melbourne most of next week, so can collect it at your convenience...

    Let me know...

    (If you can't find it, I will buy another one, but I need a bit of notice)...

    Regards,

    Rollo

    Hey, saka...

    Sorry to hear it. With our aging list, you will be important in the demonland rebuild. But sorry you can't be part of our last great victory in this 2008 - 2013 era.

    Difficult times ahead, I fear...

    Hey, demoneyes...

    Get off this thread, you bastard.

    Alternatively, thanks for bumping it... :rolleyes:

    I will also try to find the time to write a potted short history of our involvement in forum footy over the last 8 years or so.

    Lots of good memories, some not so good, one painfully sad.

    Great news, mate... :wub:

    Captain Wise (aka the red fox) will be deciding on positions, but if you yell loud enough, you should force your way in there... :rolleyes:

    Hey Rollo, my mate Scotty is really keen, he was a bomber but walked out on the club as he was unsure of the drug culture. ;)
    Is there a spot for him at the Dees?

    Need one of our helpers to volunteer to take on an extra role as umpire's assistant.

    Not much to the job.

    You just have to guard their gear, and run them water when they signal.

    Let me know.

    Regards,

    rollo

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
