Hi Demonland,

 

Scotty21 visiting from Bomberblitz. Long time no see. 

You may or may not remember me from the old forum footy days and am posting to see if any of the old demonland guard would be interested in joining in and playing in our forum footy charity day THIS SUNDAY. 

For the past 5 years after the forum v forum format sadly died we've been running a charity game every February.

I have pasted the OP from our thread on BomberBlitz. If you'd like to join in please post here or shoot me a PM

Date: Feb 9th at 10.30
Venue: Olympic Park or Gosches Paddock

The selection commitee will divide the teams up evenly.

Anyone who has not played in the game before will be asked to grade themselves 1-3.

Firstly… ewww I’m talking to an Essendon supporter.

Anyways, this is a great initiative. Just wondering: can spectators make a donation on the day with a card, or is it cash only?

 

Soz. Just noticed your original post… cash only. All good 👍🏽

Yeah cash only on the day. I normally take the cash donations to the bank and then make the payment to the donation page. 

 

Worst case I am happy for someone to PayID me. 

Yeah I remember these, possibly one at Glenferrie Oval back in the day? Great to hear they're being done for charity.

Would love a crack but although I'm in category 3 with 'any sort of footy background', my spondy injury probably puts me at -3.

Happy to chuck a donation in though 🙂

-3's would fit in well

Yeah, we used to be able to do a full day round robin back in the day.

As for the charity game, It started off as what we thought would be a one and done as a fundraising effort for the black summer fires but morphed into a yearly thing.

The year we did fightmnd was be far our most successful one. I do like to rotate the beneficiary but I think we will work with them again in future.
