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.

well done and thanks rollo

i might be interested. anyone know how much it pays.....i don't come cheap

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]

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...

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
