rollinson 65

hey, swooper... are you the "swooper" who has played for us in the past, or are you new to forum footy ??

hate to disagree with an old mate, jack... but we turned up with 13 players in 2008, and the saints had to loan us players to make up our numbers... they loaned us 5 excellent players, one of whom scored the goal that put us in front... the sainters also still occasionally complain about our goal umpy from the very first game, who was getting away with calling a goal to give us a win by a couple of points, until freak published on this site some days later that his shot on goal definitely went wide... never got to catch up with freak to thank him for that post... B) and then there was the first game against talkingcarlton, when we had the only goal umpy/scorer, won by a few points, and apparently scored 13 behinds in the second quarter, but nobody ever owned up to scoring 4 of those behinds... anyway, pringle, the official record is something like 11 out of 12, and we have never lost since we resolved to get organised (after that game in 2008)... we owe a vote of thanks to our organisers, who have included over the years tassie dee, pringle, redleg, melbournefc, do-it-for-robbie, whispering jack, demonland, demon revival, hards, supermercado, funky41, wolfmother and dee knees. Apologies to anyone I have failed to remember.

just checked the sites... it looks like the game was played today... pies came home with a wet sail in the last, but dons held on to win... talk on the sites about finally knocking off the dees in october, so I don't think there will be any forum footy for us before then...

hey, guys, we always wait to be challenged, and no challenges have been issued... so, unless you want to try the demonland v demonology experiment again, february may pass without a forum game... I remember becoming exhausted just watching that demonland v demonology game... and demonland had to loan demonology so many players, it was like an intra-club practice match... I am not the suspicious type, but maybe if we don't crush the other forums in february this year, the firsts (because we are the seconds) may do well for a change... regards to all, rollo

other sites happy that dees won but did not dominate yet again... all around good result for forum footy, I reckon... but congratulations to you guys for winning without tassie dee, grimes4, funky41, deemich and their mates... looking forward to the next forum contest (probably february)... dons organiser (at least) is matching our efforts, so I predict the matches against the dons will be the most competitive over the next period... pity that talkingcarlton appear to have lost interest... regards and thanks to all involved... rollo

second and last lost property report: one grey bells beach tee shirt... let me know...

many thanks for the report, jack... a good read... the main point, I think, is that we were without so many, many of our players, but the guys (and girl) who did make it did us proud... special thanks to our girl (whateverittakes) for doing so much on the day... (and we do expect you to fly back from darwin for our next forum footy game)...

was too far away from the action... who was it that did his knee ?? any word on the knee ?? p.s. thanks for the thanks, but whispering jack and whateverittakes had harder jobs than me...

dees 6.7 43 def dons 5.2 32 goals: cowboyfromhell 3, the russian 2, rollo2 (that means rollo2 got one)... dees 7.5 47 def saints 4.5 29 goals: heater, the russian, wonnabeeri, jack, yokozuna, wise, cowboyfromhell... dees 8.5 53 def pies 5.3 33 goals: rollo2 2 (that means rollo2 got 2), cowboyfromhell, wise, the stynes factor, SUPERMERCADO, and two guys who played for us from the saints got one each... we voted best players (lots of room to argue) as steve the ruckman, wise, heater, wonnabeeri, the stynes factor, junior, cowboyfromhell, rollo2, the russian... many thanks to our umpires (the two davids), and to whateverittakes for the extra water and looking after the umpires and players, and to whispering jack for coaching... highlight of the day has to have been super's goal...

coaches would prefer people to turn up at 10.30am...

ok, mate, let us know ASAP...

unlike you, mate, I have never missed a forum footy game... been reminising with the saints organiser about our first ever forum footy game... we were ahead by 8 goals going into the last quarter... sainters came home with a wet sail, but we won by 4 points... people questioned the last goal umpys decision in favour of the dees... but as the umpy concerned, I thought it was a goal to give us a win against the play.... didn't help that the player who kicked the goal (freak) subsequently posted on site that he thought it was a point... but we have moved on...

hey, whispering jack... saints organiser says we should bring the big carl trophy, because it is going to change hands on sunday... assume it will be no problem for you to bring it ?? (we should at least give them a look at it before we win it again)... for first timers, I should explain that big carl (named for carl ditterich) is the trophy awarded for the winner of the saintsational/dees matches...

don't like the sound of those metal studs, mate... (ferocious tackler that you are)...

perfect, mate, I will have an esky full and, hopefully, wolfmother will come through as well... (we usually run out no matter how much we bring)...

long range weather forecast for sunday says 12 degrees to 23 degrees, showers late afternoon, mild, humid...

hey, super... with the revised and extended format, the umpys will really need an umpys assistant... and no one has yet put their hand up... it involves running water to them when they signal... one of our umpys is VFL, but is still keen to help us out... would really appreciate it if you would volunteer for this job on Sunday... still leaves you free to help out in many other ways - waterboy, goal umpy, coaches' runner, timekeeper etc... the helpers are stretched thin... let me know... regards, rollo
