Yeah mate you should take a photo and send it into Ralph or FHM. I remember they used to pay cash for gross pictures, I'm pretty sure that'd qualify. Turn your injury into profit :D

Tried to take a photo, cramped and fell over... :lol:

Blisters have shown no improvement thus far, today will be spent on the couch!

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure coaching the team. Every member worked his butt off for the colours and I'm really proud of you and the terrific sporting spirit in which the game was played. Thanks to Rollo and melbournefc and to everyone who helped out and gave their support including Redleg, imtoohot's father, GOTO, Tim, David and marfa and the others whose names I didn't quite catch. I'm sure everyone slept well last night after the experience.

It's been a while since I've coached and I can't remember doing it in 31 degree heat but we got a real appreciation of what must be involved in rotations because we tried to keep them coming as regularly as possible to ensure we'd have fresh legs at the end of the game. Unfortunately, our timing was a bit off because we had it all meticulously planned for a 20 minute final quarter and they kicked the winning goal at the 24 minute mark. That's football, I guess!

The Martin Heppell medal for our BOG went to imtoohot and I'd particularly like to commend the half a dozen or so players who tagged # 15. I think we managed to blunt his influence reasonably well after the first quarter.

We now have an enormous challenge to regain the Big Carl Cup and to sing it's a Grand Old Flag at the end of the game.

Hopefully, someone can get on to the Saintsational site to thank them for the game and congratulate them again formally on their win and for providing the four blokes who helped us out. They were great!

Cheers to everyone involved in organising this, despite the heat and the loss it was a great day even though I can barely walk today!

I've got some photos from the game that I might post at a later stage if there any good (haven't had a chance to look over them yet).

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to apologise for both Premiers 08 and my absence.

Premiers08 sent through a message as soon as we learnt that we would not be able to attend. Sad to hear there wasn't many on the bench.

We were pretty shattered, one because of the family issue that needed our attending but more importantly that we were pumped the morning of any were having a practice kick.

We will 100% be there next time to help out the boys.

To only loose by 4 points means that you all gave it your best.

Well done and Carn the Demons!!!!!!

Yup agree with you both, when I think WJ or Rollo said that i'm like WTF!?

That was my fault. I suggested singing the song. I will just say that the boys really fought it out in very trying conditions and all of Demonland/ology should be proud of them for having a real dip. Well done guys.

When is the next planned match? I might pull on a jumper. Only 18 so might get thrown around a bit but I'm reasonably quick. I was, however, knocked out in my last football match.

Honestly mate I wouldn't have said size mattered that much. imtoohot, who pretty much dominated in the middle for us, is less than 6ft and skinny, but he had plenty of pace and fitness which most of us could only dream about, and good skills to boot. I think fitness is the main thing (which I am sadly lacking), but having said that anybody, fit or unfit, big or small, talented or a [censored], can play, so you should come down next time. I'd never played footy before, and I know there were a couple of other guys there who hadn't played much either(our inspirational captain had only played one game before I think - the last Saintsational vs Demonland/ology game; you wouldn't know it though :P). The game wasn't too physical; the turf was rock hard so people pretty much avoided diving all over it. You'd be doing bloody well to get yourself KO'd again ;)

Not as bad as I thought.

Calves are a bit sore, just glad I didn't wear boots, otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk! Green bruise near my knee that might be a contender for pic of the day.

Got to walk about 3km at mine site today, that should be good test!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well …

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
