rollinson 65

forgot to say... I ended up with an extra garment in my bag, left behind by someone... it is a dark jacket with a hood, and has red and light-blue stripes... post or send me a pm, and we will organise to get it back to you...

like the sound of the bbq, don't like the sound of a more competitive dons outfit... snowed under at work, guys, for the next 2 months, so I cannot attempt any sort of match report... congrats to the umpys, troy and tyler, for another great job... (and thanks to brettmcg for organising them)... congrats to sean, unanimously voted best dees player on the day... (special mention for captain concussion from the coach)... and special thanks to grimes4, tom2 and their mates, and swooper, the mates of funky41, the mates of tassie dee, and all others who played well and tirelessly for the opposition, and gave us good contests, tom2 being voted best dees player for the opposition on the day... special thanks from me as organiser to wolf, funky and tassie dee, you guys are now the backbone of our leadership group and make my job so easy... and thanks to our captain, wise, who does the job so effortlessly and created and then executed our winning strategy for the grannie... great day, and judging from the other sites, everyone had an enjoyable experience...

I was intending to post about umpys and best players and such... but got carried away by these amazing quality photos on here... well done, andy (aka demonland)... how large a donation to demonland will be required to delete all photos featuring rollinson 65 ?? (send me a pm and the cheque will be in the mail...) I got sunburned, he said, glaring at the 40+ sunscreen nestled in the bag accompanying him on the albury train...

welcome back imtoohot and legend... a couple of blasts from the past - we've got a fair few players who have never played with the legendary imtoohot, so we better introduce you guys to the playing group before the first game, and explain that they don't need to lead if imtoohot gets the ball, and they shouldn't get angry if imtoohot disposses them because he was the better option... here is the updated game post... date and time : sunday, february 28 at 10am... venue : gosch's paddock... opposition : nick's collingwood site, bomberblitz, punt road end... players : wise (captain), charlesy, heater, funky41, wolfmother, the russian, demon tingles, junior, deemitch, robbo 24, blessed hands, toot182, wise guy sam, scotty, luke, sean, jako, grimes4, tom1, richard, the stynes factor, dazzledavey36, tassie dee, mat, jay, corey, adam, nat, ox, tom2, rollo2, mickrocks1, imtoohot... players TBC (to be confirmed) : deanox, doggo... apologies : wonnabeeri, pringle, bennythejet, cribbes, melbournefc, supermercado, omit, Benno, captain concussion, rosso... coaches : whispering jack, redleg (redleg TBC)... umpires : brettmcg is overseas but has organised two quality field umpys for us again... helpers : rollinson 65, demonrevival, Bringbackbarassi, legend... helpers TBC : demonland, grimes4's dad, joeyjimjams, dee knees, george on the outer...

if you have a jumper and boots, mate, you are way ahead of the rest of us... don't worry about any other accessories...

well, here is an emotional moment or two... posters from demonology make up about a third of our numbers on sunday, but shamed by the lack of support for these games on demonology, they have asked me to downplay the demonology effort and I acknowledge the message... rollo2 is the only one of my sons ever to play footy (the other 3 only played soccer), but plagued as he was by knee injuries as a junior, I feel a bit afraid for more knee problems on sunday, followed by the wrath of mrs rollo, still he wants to play for the jumper just once and who can deny any of us that request ?? here is the updated game post... date and time : sunday, february 28 at 10am... venue : gosch's paddock... opposition : nick's collingwood site, bomberblitz, punt road end... players : wise (captain), charlesy, heater, funky41, wolfmother, the russian, demon tingles, junior, deemitch, robbo 24, blessed hands, toot182, wise guy sam, scotty, luke, sean, jako, grimes4, tom1, richard, the stynes factor, dazzledavey36, tassie dee, mat, jay, corey, adam, nat, ox, tom2, rollo2... players TBC (to be confirmed) : deanox, mickrocks1, doggo... apologies : wonnabeeri, pringle, bennythejet, cribbes, melbournefc, supermercado, omit, Benno, captain concussion, rosso... coaches : whispering jack, redleg (redleg TBC)... umpires : brettmcg is overseas but has organised two quality field umpys for us again... helpers : rollinson 65, demonrevival, Bringbackbarassi... helpers TBC : demonland, grimes4's dad, joeyjimjams, dee knees, george on the outer...

in your black-and-white dreams, MM...

hey, deanox, expect we will be playing in the first game, so speak up if you have to leave early... punt road end and bomberblitz are expected to be seriously short of numbers, so wise, funky, wolf, tassie dee, and demonrevival are scrambling to find extra players willing to play for the opposition, thanks, guys... here is the updated game post... date and time : sunday, february 28 at 10am... venue : gosch's paddock... opposition : nick's collingwood site, bomberblitz, punt road end... players : wise (captain), charlesy, heater, funky41, wolfmother, the russian, demon tingles, junior, deemitch, robbo 24, blessed hands, toot182, wise guy sam, scotty, luke, sean, jako, grimes4, tom1, richard, the stynes factor, dazzledavey36, tassie dee, mat, jay, corey, adam, nat, ox, tom2... players TBC (to be confirmed) : deanox, mickrocks1, doggo... apologies : wonnabeeri, pringle, bennythejet, cribbes, melbournefc, supermercado, omit, Benno, captain concussion, rosso... coaches : whispering jack, redleg (redleg TBC)... umpires : brettmcg is overseas but has organised two quality field umpys for us again... helpers : rollinson 65, demonrevival, Bringbackbarassi... helpers TBC : demonland, grimes4's dad, joeyjimjams, dee knees, george on the outer...

thanks for the update, mate... your worthy son has kept demonology in the naming rights for these contests in recent years...

still only ourselves and nick's collingwood site at the moment, but some good people are working on increasing the number of teams... blues and sainters are definite non-starters this time...
