Haha, I don't have to start at all. Don't worry MelbourneFC.

It's just a relaxed game.

It's your lucky day Demons32....Pringle's pulled out, so I'll slot you straight into HB.

Gentlemen and for the benefit of political correctness ladies,

There are nine days to go and, as coach, I've been trying to do a Bomber Thompson and keep a lid on it but Rollo has requested that I address you at this stage in order that you all fully understand the importance of this game.

Just a couple of things to remember as the day draws near -

Firstly, we should never underestimate the importance of being both physically and mentally prepared for whatever sporting pursuit we undertake. I'm therefore ordering all of those who smoke to keep it down to one packet a day until the evening of Sunday 21 October 2007. After that you can do what you like but until then I want everybody to demonstrate some personal discipline and observe this rule. I'm sure you'll appreciate it late in the third quarter when the opposition starts coughing, wheezing and falling by the wayside.

Secondly, I think it's time to start a special set of exercises to get your strenth up for the big game. Tonight, when you open your first stubby or tinny for the evening, try a simple arm extension and bend before you start gulping down the amber liquid. This will do wonders for your muscle tone in the upper arm regions. Try to keep it down to no more than a dozen stubbies or cans a night for the time being so you can remember how much training you've put in on any given night.

Finally, don't listen to any gossip or rumours about whether you might or might not be delisted from the team. It's just that time of year again!

As coach I have the utmost faith in you as my players in much the same way as the board stands 100% behind me.

Cheers until next time!

Thanks for that coach!

I am not needed in the side anymore? That's cool.

For the record, 191cm 76kg, bit of speed and endurance. Run off the half back line is my superiority.

I'll add you to our Interchange Deers. Is that ok?

Excellent news, can't wait to see your silky delivery into the forward line

Yes the weather is rather unappealing today, I'm hoping the weather sunday week is somewhat nicer

I've been hitting the gym in an attempt to improve my fitness before the big match hopefully I wont die 1 minute in

Looking forward to getting out there and doing it for the dee's

I'm hoping the weather is nicer too...I've been working hard on the endurance at tennis, played 3 hours solid last Sat and will do so again tomorrow....great guns!

Do we have a ruckman as yet melbournefc?

I'd offer my services as I can jump high, but at 179cm I feel I may struggle just a little

I might actually come and watch if it means I'll be away from studying for a few hours!

Be good to put some names to faces.

"I might actually come and watch..."

you will be most welcome, dees 08...

at this stage, it looks like the sainters will be supplying the food for the after-match BBQ, and the dees will be supplying the beer...

sponsors on both sides will mean that there will be no cost for people who turn up to play, help or watch...

weather-permitting, it should be an enjoyable afternoon...

I'm not quite sure Coxy....from memory I think we did have someone keen to play ruck. By all means if we don't, you are more than welcome.

What tennis you play Diablo? I play men's night NSNTA Thurs Comp....Doubles.

N.E.N.T.G. mate... the north eastern one. I play mixed with my girlfriend and a few others. We're bloody awful because we are as erratic as a recently departed Melbourne footballer, and always seem to sink to worse teams' levels. It is a sport that drives me balmy no end, but there is enough satisfaction to keep me coming back.

Classic... we've been on a roll of late, 5 wins in a row and sitting in the top 3....with about 5 games left before finals....mixed can be good fun though!

hey, mfc...

bananas from demonology has also volunteered to help out with a non-playing role...

he does not want to be recorded on the team sheet, but I know we will be greatful for his assistance...

Hi Rollo, noted Bananas as helping out etc...

"Hi Rollo"...

hey, mfc...

got big carl back from the engravers today, with our last victory endorsed...

harder work is promoting interest in the sister threads on demonology and saintsational...

the thread on demonology (perhaps predictably) keeps falling off the board...

but so (less predictably) does the thread on saintsational...

Nice to see Big Carl back in action...hope you kept the engravers name, we'll be needing it again.

Not much we can do about other sister threads ie: Demonology/Saintsational.... I'm assuming the Saints have

the numbers and will literally all just show up on the Sunday?

Most we can do is keep posting on here, Demonology and Saintsational....I encourage other Demonlanders on here reading this to do the same...remember what

I've said before STRENGTH IN NUMBERS....

"Not much we can do about other sister threads ie: Demonology/Saintsational.... I'm assuming the Saints have

O, yes, mfc...

the sainters will turn up in great numbers...

how goes your plan to make sure our numbers actually make it this time ??

I'm sure the Saints will....that's why we need our guys here on Demonland to be all fired up and ready to go!

As for my email list, I have 28 total names including yourself, Redleg, Lexl etc...I have 15 email addresses {players} to contact next week... I need more than that!

We really need the guys on here who haven't supplied me with a email to confirm to do so ASAP. We don't want to have to borrow players from them like we did last time!!

Only one week to go...

my brother and i might come down and make an appearance, if its still open. we played last year i was one of the young guns.

"my brother and i might come down and make an appearance"

most welcome, son...

last year I remember the very young guns were scotty's little brother and scotty's little brother's mate...

are you one of them ??
