Forum Footy - Sunday, October 5

[Brad 2]

I live in craigieburn just up the road from where Richmond train at highgate reserve.... Looks a treat no cricket pitches goal posts still there

Seeing as my drivers licence is suspended I'm all for moving the game to highgate lol

[Little Richard 6,261]

So just to confirm, so I don't show up too late/early, it's an 11am start? That's 11am after the clocks go forward?

[ucanchoose 1,816]

Yes 11am AFTER clocks go forward

[rollinson 65 181]

Leeroy is far too good of a player to be tagging in all honesty.... There's pretty much no match up for Leeroy with his athleticism

I've seen him play reserves footy in the past..... Absolute joke..... As you're well aware he's a high quality player

sorry, brad...

no possessions for you...

[The Red Fox 216]

Ha. Good banter. Actually wouldn't mind seeing him try.

"Let's beat these Melbourne dogs..... I'm running in off the square and taking someone out at the first bounce..... Invoke some fear into the rest of them.... They'll be too scared to put their heads over the ball for the rest of the game" ...

I will point out this individual to you guys before the first bounce...

perhaps we should unchain wise ??

(no, that would be too cruel)...

[gsmith12 491]

Good luck tomorrow fellas, keep that unbeaten run going.

TO ALL PLAYERS, COACHES AND HELPERS

Remember we are playing this coming Sunday, October 5 at 11:00 am at Gosch’s paddock.

Goal post issues mean that we may have to move to Olympic Park.

11.00 am means 10.00 am for those of you who have not heard about daylight saving time.

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. Forecast says 20 degrees, becoming sunny, humidity 42%.

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 says they are going to beat us this time. Post from scooter 23 on bomberblitz on 1/10/14:

“Let's beat these Melbourne dogs..... I'm running in off the square and taking someone out at the first bounce..... Invoke some fear into the rest of them.... They'll be too scared to put their heads over the ball for the rest of the game.”

See you Sunday at 10.30 am (9.30 am for people clueless about daylight saving time). People arriving at or before then go into the draw to have first go at scooter23.

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 ucanchoose a pm, or by sending him an email at ([email protected] )or by texting him on 0449 821 556.

Regards,

Peter Connor (aka Rollo)

Hi Dees

I arrived at goschs and can confirm no posts and very faint line marking. Olympic park not much better so I suggest we stay here. We can mark out goals with jumpers and place a marker say every 30 mtrs or so along the boundary. One of our guys is trying to get his hands on some witches hats.

[Whispering_Jack 29,773]

Good luck fellers.

I'm still at the other side of town with little prospect of being able to get there do please do the colours proud for all of us and good luck to the new coaching panel!

[ucanchoose 1,816]
