Saintsational vs Demonland

[Coxy 0]

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...

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!

Thankyou to everyone who had any thing to do with the day, including all the Organisers, Coaches, Spectator and Players, I had a great day.

Today, not so great!

Tomorrow is going to be worse!

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!!!!!!

[Yencks 8]

well done demonland/ology!!

[Redleg 38,088]

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.

[demonfanjezza 1]

well done boys from demonland and demonology. Although losing by 4 points is always tough, but in these conditions of extreme heat you put pride back in the demon junper

[Yencks 8]

By the way if you go over to ology' George has posted a couple of videos and the team photo.

How did you pull up today Jezzzza?

[melbournemartin 0]

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 ). 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

Sounds good. I might try to get a mate to come down with me so I'm not a total loner. I heard next Feb floated around? That'd probably be perfect. Hopefully the ground has a bit more give in it.

Hopefully the ground has a bit more give in it.

Its likely to have LESS given it'll be after a stinking hot summer!

[melbournemartin 0]

I'll just not get tackled then Problem solved!

2 games under my belt now and will only get better with time Diablo!

Demonology has a few videos and the team pic up for people to see. I have set it up on my trashy blog too.

[jezzzza 0]

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!

I have owned up to it. See my earlier post. Thanks for your effort, you certainly put in the kilometres.
