Thank God Rollo is our head recruiter then, a much more accomplished and proven candidate.

I share both of those afflictions Nutbean.

Such a burden we carry.

If I played I think you'd all be treated to a live re-enactment of that "Cale Morton Runs Away" video, except on repeat for 4 quarters of footy.

Jeez Rollo... I'm 33 next week, why do I get the feeling I am about to get 'list managed' into retirement?

We've signed on a high profile coach. We've just come of a 20 goal win. I think the team is in pretty good order.

... Glad someone is future planning though.

hey, wise (aka the red fox)...

horses for courses, mate...

you were running round like a twenty-year old last sunday...

Same age as my son, rollo2, who played one season too many with uni blacks, and is now battling a serious back injury...

we have never turned away anyone wanting to play, despite the fact that we've seen some older guys injure themselves in these games...

there are exceptions (like you), but the main problem I see is that a list with an average age over 30 is not heading in the right direction...

you played in our very first game, and you may remember hards, cactus, doggo and freak, all your age and all retired now...

(one of them is threatening me with an Intervention Order if I send him anymore notices about future games)...

I say again we have not had new players in any quantities for the last 3 years...

Without the extra numbers brought by you, brett and steve the ruckman last week, we would have been severely embarrassed...

With this thread, I was hoping that there would be posts like a text I had from Whispering Jack last week. "I have a couple of young blokes interested in playing. I will ask them, rollo, and get back to you."

Another great captain's game last week, BTW...

Can't shake the tank.

hey, mate...

get off this serious thread...

alternatively, thanks for bumping it...

look, people, we have a serious problem...

and I have thrown it open to the entire forum...

(there are some big brains out there)...

because us forum footy guys are out of ideas...

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 ............

It wasn't Koboni by any chance?

If so you know me.

There are a lot of guys playing superules in Melb and most of them are pretty handy.

I doubt many would have time to tune in here but I'm sure any Dee fans amongst them would welcome a chance to play in the colours.

All it would take is to get an in with them and the word will spread as they are a pretty close mob, or is that herd?

Or maybe contact the SR league admin.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
