    I reckon I might have a crack at the Feb game. I only just joined here but I've been at BF for about 4 years. What's the usual age spread?

    Welcome aboard.

    The photo at the start of this thread ought to give you some idea of the age spread.

    FWIW we were quite a bit younger than Saintsational.

    Yeah youngest there looked mid teens perhaps even younger. I ain't a great judge of age. I'm 17 btw and an alright defender/winger. Strengths: spoiling, keeping eye on the ball when goin for the mark (can hurt sometimes) and being able to make up excuses for when my opponent scores a goal.

    Injury update:

    While all the aches and pains have gone away... I broke a couple of ribs in the last quarter. Doc says a month before they'll fully heal.

    Just can't avoid some sort of injury!

    And to think, some suggested yours were 'soft' Yze-like goals. You're a modern day Dermie Hards.

    I don't recall anyone making heavy contact with you, is it possible you didn't just over expand the old chest cavity with pride? :rolleyes: Do you know when it happened?

    On a serious not, I hope you recover quickly mate, and well done on finishing the game off so well under the circumstances.

    Bad luck mate...

    I've broken ribs running back with the flight of the ball and getting taken out by a big fat FF in a VAFA ressies game... was not very pleasant. i knew when i'd coughed a bit of blood up that it wasnt a good sign...

    Seriously though, breaking ribs in an inter-forum friendly game is some serious bad luck...

    all the best in ur recovery..

    cheers

    I only got hit twice for the whole game!

    It happened in the last quarter, right infront of our "bench" (or where our bench would have been). I danced around this guy and he came back and got me as I got rid of the ball. It wasn't a hard hit or a dirty hit or anything, it just copped me in a bad spot and with the point of the shoulder.

    It's really not too bad, as long as I don't sneeze or cough or laugh too much.

    Technically the goals came before the injury, but for the sake of the story that might have to get switched around - make it a real Dermie like comeback :D

    Cheers boys.

    Thanks for the good wrap on my performance Rollo. Hopefully I can come out next time and kick a few more. I'll make sure the entourage come along too so they can take some more action packed snaps. :)

    Which one of the guys in the photo are you mate?

    Don't even mention the sunburn! I got a double dose, thanks to playing Corporate Games all day Sat then got baked again on Sunday!

    Haha, im the red head, about the 3rd from the left at the back and my shoulders are STILL burnt over a week on! Peeling like crazy! Great game though

    Hahaha... It's an option I'm seriously considering, believe me. I'm just hoping to win a bit of footy in the 3 minutes before I get dragged, so that I might stand a chance of getting out there again at some stage :lol:

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
