POSITION VACANT - forum footy organiser

[rollinson 65 181]

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.

Agreed...well done.

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

[daisycutter 29,605]

[jazza 1,323]

well done and thanks rollo

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.

[Redleg 40,856]

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...

[biggestred 5,016]

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)...

[biggestred 5,016]

probably Benno?

[rollinson 65 181]

probably Benno?

Now that name is in the archives...

No interest yet in the organiser job...

[rollinson 65 181]

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 ??

Rollo, going out on top, and just quietly telling bomberblitz to keep dreamin' pre-game.

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.

sorry, people...

this thread is not going away...

until we have a new organiser...

or I am banned from the site, whichever occurs earlier...

[rollinson 65 181]

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

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...

[rollinson 65 181]

Should be able to make an announcement in the next week or so...

[rollinson 65 181]

decision looks like being as early as this weekend...

thanks to the guys who have put up their hands...

[dazzledavey36 54,336]

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.

thanks, daz...

but the 3 candidates to take over are all better people than me...

they don't approve of my list management and disown my creative goal umpiring...
