Forum Game Possibility

Featured Replies

Posted

Hi gang,

Barnesy from Talking Carlton just trying to gauge an interest of playing a forum game against you on either:

Sunday February 11th / 18th / or 25th starting at 2pm.

Possibly Glenferrie Oval or one of your choice.

Tried to PM your admin but got an error message so as to not start a topic straight up.

We were keen for one more game before the season starts and hoped we could get it organised with you guys and girls with a 4 week time table.

If you can give me some feedback we can organise a game or knock the idea on its head early. We are gauging the actual interest and availability with our crew now.

Hope you are enjoying your pre season and best wishes for 2007.

Barnesy

 

I'm sure we could get together a crew for it.

Name a day and we'll see you at Glenferrie.

How about -

First choice

Sunday 18th February - 2pm start

Second choice

Sunday 25th February - 2pm start

You start organising your crew, and we'll do the same and see where we are at at weeks end.

Cheers

 

Yeah I should be able to make it, and I should be able to get my mate prepared for the game too.


Also, I was thinking about this whole thing the other day, and how about having a round-robin system with maybe 1 or 2 other forums (probably 4 teams in total max to make it easier to schedule games) in which either the 2 top teams play off in a final or the top team being crowned the champions?

"I'm sure we could get together a crew for it."

Sorry, hards...

february is impossible for me...

time for somebody else to step up to organise support numbers ??

do you want me to email the usual suspects ??

Who's coaching the Blues - Smorgon or Laurraine Diggins?

Melbourne play the Hawks in the Ansett Cup on the evening of the 25th.

I'd doubt people would want to miss this game.

Or Pagan.

Perhaps he might steer them to a rare win

Ok - lets go for

Sunday the 18th February

2pm start

We will focus on that date, and drop the 11th and 25th.

And the round robin for next season sounds good, if you guys like that idea we could approach the other forums soon about putting the idea up for next off season.

Talking Carlton

Demonland

Nicks Pies ?

BomberBlitz

Saintsational

Punt Road End

Who are the others (hawks etc)

I'll be there. Just PM when it gets a bit closer to the ddate... i'm def in!

Change of date - Sunday 11th February??

Does not mix with your family day nor ours on the 18th -

So Sunday 11th February - 2pm

Ok.

I just want to get a grip on this so we don't mess anyone up, a few of our guys are no can do's for the 11th.

What time is your family day?

Can you still get a team together for the 18th?

We don't want to go back and forward, but just get a date (be it 11th or 18th) that the majority of all posters can play.

Our preference is still the 18th.

Here are the details to the MFC Family Day. I'm free on both 11th and 18th, I'm just not sure whether some of the guys off here will be down at the Junction Oval on the 18th??

MELBOURNEfc Family Day

IMO it would be totally inappropriate for Demonland/Demonology to run a function in opposition to the club's family day just as it would be inappropriate for Talking Carlton to do the same thing on Carlton's family day.

I don't have a problem with that, it's just trying to organise everything to get the best possible outcome for us all. The 25th is our family day, so we come back to the 11th February.

We maybe having to leave it until the start of next season.

Unless you guys have another solution, I will go back to Talking Carlton crew ans float the idea of postponing until the end of the year.

No dramas, we just don't want to go back and forth and still have to many hurdles.

Are you guys cool with postponing until the end of the year?

Cheers

 

I honestly don't care if the game's on when our family day is, as the family day isn't really intended for people around my age. But if you're going to schedule a date, it'd be safer to do around that date just incase.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
