hey, people...

we have a problem...

we have been dominating forum footy since 2007...

our core group of players (who have kept us on top for so long) are now in their early 30's...

my own son (rollo2) has played one season too many and is now battling a severe back injury...

we have not attracted any new players in sufficient quantity or quality to replace this core group, who are all about to retire...

I am throwing this open to the entire forum...

ideas please...

regards to all,

rollo

I've only been here for a few years but would have thought there's more than " A " problem !

If my third bout of surgery on my ankle is successful then I will return however at this stage I can barely run more than 50 metres let alone play but to all new guys get down there it is a fantastic day had by all. Also dazzle may come back and kick a few more snags. Very good to watch

Defence hasn't been as good since you left Tingles.. I remember those raking left foot of yours roosting it to the center square. Paul Wheatley would have been proud.

i'd get involved, but i have a lot going on at the moment with year 12 exams coming up. I'd be open to it next year though and hopefully from then on. However, i have to let you know, i've only ever played one full season when i was 15 and 4 games when i was 17 before i got hit by injury and am really not all that good.

Put it this way if you're able to get on the field sober (although not a necessity) and can move in all directions then you are a big chance to be involved in a very successful team. The more the merrier

Excuses, excuses, YDE.

I was wondering if I should put my hand up.

My last game was in PNG when I coached my side to a 14 goals win in a GF and kicked a bag of goals at full forward.

Only trouble is it was in 1973 and I'm a bit long in the tooth, now.

Ah, the memories ............

I would put my hand up to help out but living in Canberra makes it a little hard.

Also im 34 but i still play. 196cm 103kg Melbourne born but raised in Romsey so i have bogan blood running through me (sometimes not a bonus). Played around the country a little when i moved.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
