    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...

    I can offer 440 games experience in the TFL and country leagues but it comes in a creaky 66 yo body.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
