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

lol, maybe you should just handball instead :D ?

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:

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
