A tentative yes here, but will just be making up numbers as needed. Zero endurance, little speed and a knee that gives way if I try and kick more than 30 m.

Will try speak with Shifu demon and see if he is interested. Will let you know later in the week.

Big victory for the Dees 19.16.130 to Bombers 5.7.37 and that result catapults us to top of the ladder on percentage after round 1.

Highlights for me were the captain's spear tackle in the first quarter and ucanchoose and his dead-eye threading of 3 goals. The stynes factor is still our most-capped player, followed closely by wis

Thanks, mate...

But it is starting to look like us older types will not have to risk life and limb...

We could sure do with your off-field help, however...

Hope to see you Sunday...

Just double checking, do we need specific shorts/socks, or is any colour ok?

Just a jumper, mate, don't worry about the rest..

I am getting close to sending to all a summary of do's and don'ts...

I send it every time, but newbies have no way of knowing, sorry...

We've done this so many times we tend to forget the new people...

I'll be there rollo but might not be able to play - come down with a nasty gut problem so it's a bit wait-and-see right now.

sorry to hear that, mate...

but don't worry about numbers...

we have my ideal number of confirmed players to make sure that we field a team...

and to make sure that people can head to the bench whenever they want...

there will be a job for you if you cannot play...

Look forward to seeing you Sunday...

Cheers mate, looking forward to sunday :)

have been trying to explain to my clients why I am not working Sunday...

I started with "I'm organising a footy match," but that required explanations that are too difficult and time-consuming...

You see, there are these people that post on an unofficial footy forum, and they play real footy games against people who post on other forums, and this is more important than your legal problem etc...

Now my people just say I have a family commitment...

anything for an easy life... :ph34r:

Sorry, but it looks like I am a non starter.

Good luck to the boys and I hope Rollo, you and all involved, have an enjoyable day.

Here is notice sent to all this evening:-

Reminder we are playing this coming Sunday, March 2 at 11:00 am at Gosch’s paddock.

Melway map reference 2G E10.

Train to Richmond station, walk south down Punt Road (city side). If you come to Boulton Parade, you have gone too far.

CAR. Free parking may be available at Punt Road Oval. If not, you can try the Richmond side streets south of Swan Street, but I prefer the commercial car parks in Swan Street. There is one east of the intersection with Punt Road and one west of that intersection.

WEATHER. Extended forecast says 27 degrees, warm and humid.

People, its Melbourne so bring WATER and SUNSCREEN!!!

Helpers, we have never had enough additional water, so please do not slack off on your commitments.

Everyone, please bring additional jumpers (if you have them) for players without.

Scotty from Bomberblitz is organising a gold coin donation for Bushfire Relief.

See you Sunday at 10.30 am or thereabouts.

Players and helpers who have not committed, or who are late apologies, please update your status by posting on the thread on Demonland, by sending me a pm, or by sending me an email at ([email protected]) or by texting me on 0408 698 328.

Regards,

Peter Connor (aka Rollo)

Alright I understand I've already asked this but just 100%ing it because if I need socks I'll get them tomorrow, but are shorts/socks supplied or do we just bring any (Assuming colour doesn't matter)?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
