POSITION VACANT - forum footy organiser

Featured Replies

Posted

After 8 years, and with the urging of my family and staff, it is time for me to hang up the boots (or I should say the clipboard).

There are any number of talented people on here who could take up the job.

I am happy to hand over all relevant files and records, and I will be happy to assist the new organiser with advice and information for as long as needed.

Thanks for 8 years of great memories.

And special thanks to Whispering Jack and Demonland, whose support has been unflagging.

Anyone who is interested in the job is welcome to post on this thread or contact me direct by pm or email ([email protected]) or on my mobile (0408 698 328).

Regards to all.

rollo

 

Agreed...well done.

Maybe Andrew DumbItriou could apply -- he so obviously loves our club.

8 cents per day.

minus 4 cents per day for tax.

you only get paid the days you work.

all other financial questions ,should be relayed to the bookkeeper.[currently residing on the political thread]

sorry, it's an unpaid gig...

the job is the reward...

if this is not just a flippant post, mate, let me know and I will give you a position description...

All of us who have enjoyed playing over the years owe Rollo a huge debt of gratitude for his efforts and commitment to forum footy, going way back to the inaugural game versus Saintastional at Glenferrie Oval. Thank you mate.

Hope you'll still come down for a watch every so often.

As an aside, I'd love a look at the match records and would be happy to take on the statistician/historian aspect of the gig.

Well done Rollo you have provided the opportunity for many ( myself included ) to have a fun day, involved with other Dees supporters and experiencing many wins, which lately hasn't been the case with our senior team.

Enjoy your retirement, watching our beloved Dees climb up the ladder.

hey, wise (aka etc)...

Forgot to thank you for making my job (and every coach's job) so much easier...

your on-field leadership has always been exceptional...

when (if) you have time, use the search engine on here and enter "forum footy"...

if there are gaps, I may be able to supply the info from my records...

Since our first game in 2006, the records show we have played about 15 games, with a 14-1 win/loss record...

I intend to come and watch and help out each and every time...

but history tells us (hawkheadquarters, saintsaitional, talkingcarlton) that without a dedicated organiser, forum footy will die on demonland...

haven't played in a few years but just wanted to say thanks rollo for doing an awesome job organising everything.
great work mate.

great work mate.

thanks, mate...

your site name is not in our records...

what was your site name when you played ??

(want to make sure the records are as up to date as possible before passing them on to the new organiser)...

  • Author

STILL NO EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST !!

I assume we are all happy for demonland forum footy to die ??

Without an organiser, we are back to 2007...

11 guys turned up and we lost (only loss ever) to saintsational...

hawkheadquarters, saintsational, talkingcarlton, nick's pies site all dropped out of forum footy because they had no organiser...

will demonland join the list of has-beens ??

JOB DESCRIPTION – FORUM FOOTY ORGANISER

When challenged to a game, the organiser posts a thread on site to check the suitability of the proposed date, and then confirms the date with the other side.

The organiser then

- posts the details on site

- sends the details to the past players, coaches, helpers and umpires by text, email and pm.

The organiser updates the thread as acceptances and apologies come in.

A few days before the game, the organiser sends out reminders to the players, helpers and umpires by text, email and pm.

On game day, the organiser arrives early, allocates jobs to the helpers, updates the contact details, especially for new players, pays the umpires and hands over the best-player medallion. The organiser leaves late, making sure the venue is not despoiled by rubbish left by people attending.

On game day, or soon after, the organiser posts the official match report – final scores, goalkickers and best player.

Each game is an investment of 12 hours for the organiser – approximately 6 hours pre-game and another 6 hours on game day.

One of our current players has offerred to hang up the boots and take on the role... :wub:

but I want to personally approach a couple of past players before he is forced to do this...

anyway, one way or the other, demonland forum footy will live on... :rolleyes:

 

A dark dark day for Demonland... Well done Rollo your effort plus organisation skills and professionalism is first class and will be sorely missed. Was good playing under you and looking forward getting more wins for you old mate.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
