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.

Thanks, mate...

Please bring it, and a couple of markers...

I will let you know if we come up with something better...

will do.

I have found another whiteboard (same size) and some flags, so i will bring all that.

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.

Sorry, mad, I missed this post.

This could be the last season for many of the core group of players who have dominated forum footy since 2007.

Sorry you can't play alongside them one last time.

Hope thet players like you and DeeM will not have to be too patient during the rebuild.

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"...

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
