rollinson 65

thanks to WJ for passing on the game details... we hit a snag at the start, arriving to find a game (planned between two police teams) about to start... all sites agreed to wait it out, a boring and one-sided affair... the sainters turned up with only half a team, but all the other sites had good numbers... As reported above, the dons beat the pies in an entertaining first game by 7 points... We then beat the sainters (beefed up with players from the pies and the dons) 75 points to 3, with goal-kickers reported above. The demonology/demonland badges donated by george-on-the-outer were awarded to the two best players - smita and charlesy. (Charlesy appears to have acquired another nickname, but it would not pass muster with the mods methinks). We then loaned the sainters about 10 players in their losers' final against the pies. Some told me the saints won, but others told me it was a draw, 42 points apiece. Best dees player for an opposition team was awarded to scotty the rover. Full stats for the winners' final are as follows:- Dees 15.6.96 defeated dons 4.4.28... Goals: charlesy 3, smita 2, wise 2, scotty the ruckman 2,gus, leo, steve, madness, scotty the rover, ucanchoose... best player badges went to gus and the stynes factor... many thanks to our umpires, david and libby, who also had to wait through the police game, and put in a faultless performance... great job by wolfmother and demon revival in the coaching box, and rollo now has a whiteboard... water-carrying efforts by tassie dee and doggo, both out with injury, also much appreciated... one coaching tradition continues...charlesy, having kicked 3 goals in the first half in the final, was then banished to the backline for the rest of the game... great day, great games, good company, good people... some day (probably sooner than we think) we will lose our forum footy dominance, so let's enjoy it while we may...

don't worry, mate... broke in last night, not much damage done, a bit of broken glass etc... all in a good cause... B)

up and at 'em, forum footy people... not looking like the 25 degrees promised, but don't forget water and sunscreen... last minute news, can't come, arriving late, need directions etc, give me a ring or send me a text on 0408 698 328... see you at vic park, hopefully before 12pm, but please no later than 12.30pm... (doggo, this means you)... regards, rollo

I guess the trophy v the bombers has not been finally named, because we have never played them before... but the bomberblitz guys seem to like "the neale" and it is hard to find somebody more connected with both clubs than neale danniher...

players who haven't yet posted their preferred position for wolf, are invited to do so asap...

hear you, DT... wolf will be coaching and I am sure he will pick up on your post, but speak to him on game day just to be sure...

great job, tassie dee...saints especially look to be way down on numbers, but if they have to pull out, it can turn into a genuine round robin. Here is the updated list:- Date: sunday, october 10...

good job, wolf... I am back on line, and will definitely be there Sunday... I will spend the next few days checking out the opposition, getting definite commitments from the umpys, finalising the format etc...

I am still waiting to hear from tassie dee, but I understand the problems. We now have wolf and DR to coach. Here is the updated list:- Date: sunday, october 10... Time: 12pm...

Don't think DR will have a problem with that, wolf, but I will let him speak for himself...

hey, guys... inviting more posts on the format... dons v pies saints v dees losers play winners play... ok for me to push for this with the other organisers ??

I have only lived for 60 years... but I reckon the teams we should hate (in order) are: pies (the filth) (daylight) dons (the scum) hawks (the censored) (daylight) any others you can think of... in 1958, the pies (with an inferior team) prevented us from equalling their record of four premierships in a row, with dirty tactics (play-the-man-not-the-ball) invented by them on that 1958 day in september...

rage has brought rollo out of retirement: to the tune of "I won't be reconstructed" (american civil war song from the South after their surrender)... I hate the bloody magpies And everything they do I hate eddie maguire And bloody malthouse too I hate the bloody premiership Gone to the filth again Filth they were forever And filth they they still remain...

second that nomination... we need to have somebody there to drag the captain if he mangles too many people... will never forget wolf's last game against talkingcarlton, when it was him and you and tassie dee who turned it around in the guts when the game was there to be won or lost...

I am still waiting to hear from tassie dee, but I understand the problems. We still have no coach, but none of the other sides ever try. And we have a few coaching irons in the fire. Umpys are in place, and bomberblitz have a super squad, so we are assured of at least one tough contest, even if the saints and pies run out of organising time. Great to see doggo back. Here is the updated list:- Date: sunday, october 10... Time: 12pm... Venue: Victoria Park... Versus : nick's pies site, saintsational, bomberblitz...

great stuff, mate... the organisers were only holding back because whispering jack had offered to sell his daughters to find us a coach, and we thought to let him have first dibs... I am an enormous rugolo/hopgood fan and I, for one, applaud your efforts...

THE PENNY DROPS !! sorry, DR, I wasn't trying to police the thread, I was just curious...

could somebody explain to me, slowly and in english, what these recent posts are all about... and how they relate to forum footy...
