Forum Footy Interest

[scotty21 23]

Hello My Demon Friends,

Scotty here from the friendly confines of Bomberblitz.

First things first, congratulations on a very well deserved premiership. 

Now for why I am actually here. It's been a few years since we have played you guys in a forum footy game and I was wondering if there was still interest here.

The last few years in February we have played an intra-blitz(plus ring ins to boost numbers) game and raised money for charity along the way. Players just donate any amount to play we've had donations of 50 cents and we've had donations of 500 dollars. In 2020 we raised 1500 for bushfire relief and 2021 we raised closed to 800 to support meansline. 

I wanted to make Neil's MND charity our 2022 (restrictions permitting) fund-raiser so I thought why not reach out to you guys and see if there's a resurgence in interest. 

Now obviously February is a long way off but I always have my guys asking "can we play Melbourne next time" so now they can shut their clams (ok, thats a blitz joke) because I've been here and asked.

To make sure everything is above board we'd like ASADA to be involved.

Its a great day out. 

 

And you guys have only lost once(?). Having said that throughout the years we've gone from losing to you by 20 goals to i think the last one was about 15-16 points.

Was the last one when we played on that rock hard patch of grass across the road from Olympic Park? That was a shocker! The game at Glenferrie years ago was good fun though.

We've been using Olympic Park oval the last few times. 

 

Venue managers are happy as long as we dont wear footy boots and clean up our mess afterwards

@rollinson 65 - are you good for a comeback to manage?

Good if we could get Neville Jetta's brother and his father to play like we did against Carlton :)

Best game we played was against Collingwood at vic park.

It was one of their big birthdays as a club may have been 120 years and they wanted a game.

We had a comfy 4 goal lead all day and they proceeded to kick 1.12 to 1.0 in last.

Looking for a game on Sunday Feb 6 at Olympic Park Oval starting at 11.00. 

Just a recap we'd be looking at raising money for fighmnd. Just pay what ever you like to play 50 cents or 50 bucks it doesn't matter. If you have someone who like to organise your team please feel free to contact me here and via email to [email protected].
