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.

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

Venue: Olympic Park or Gosches Paddock

    Friends/family/guests more than welcome

    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 🙂

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
