Forum Footy Interest

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
