gee, why would a hassled organiser put mickrocks down as an apology ??

have those guys' contact details, but still waiting on info from brettmcg... he is o/seas, but I was hoping he could at least pm a phone number to me... leave it for now and I will get back to you...

"happy new year from nicks forum"... hey, guys, the sort of disparaging posts you have been putting on here about the pies, are being reported word for word on the pies' site... I don't want that sleeping giant to wake... I will be happy with the 4 points...

"if we need more players..." it's always a tough call, mate... the only game we ever lost saw us starting with 14 players, after we had a heap of no-shows... last time, we simply had too many, the interchange bench was a nightmare for the coaches and some guys just didn't get much game time... but I can be bribed and threatened, and one of the very late people last time was a ruckman !!

ok, here we go... traditional opponents blues and saints can't get the numbers and have bowed out... date and time : sunday, february 28 venue : victoria park opposition : nick's collinwood site, bomberblitz... (waiting on punt road end and other sites to get numbers and confirm)... players : wise (captain), charlesy, heater, funky41, wolfmother, the russian, demoon tingles, junior, doggo, deemitch, robbo 24, blessed hands, toot182, wise guy sam, captain concussion, scotty, omit, luke, sean, jako... players TBC (to be confirmed) : deanox, dazzledavey36... apologies : wonnabeeri, mickrocks1, pringle... coaches TBC : whispering jack, redleg... umpires : brettmcg is overseas, but I am hoping he can give me some phone numbers... helpers : rollinson 65, supermercado, demonrevival... helpers TBC : demonland... camera and match call : supermercado, bringbackbarassi, wolfmother... you guys just keep making my job as organiser easier every time, thanks...

hey, mercado, I seem to have read this exact post last year... beware the Wolf and his promises...

hey, DR... it's Victoria Park, where the pies used to play (probably when I was your age)... the generations are interesting... whispering jack was apologising to our young players last game day that some of them would have to don the hated black and white jumper to even up the teams... guys just shrugged and did it... WJ and I are here to tell you that the dees were the dominant team in 1958, ready to equal the collingwood record of 4 premierships in a row... we kicked poorly for goal in the grand final (reminds me of our last forum game against the blues) and got beaten by an inferior team... collingwood will always be "the filth" to us...

nobody has evr done it better, DR...

er, how do you send a pm on this new brighter than bright site ?? HELP THE OLD MAN ROLLO, PLEASE !!!

hey, SM, am about to pm/email all our regulars... will put your request into the message, and hope that somebody takes you up on your generous offer... thanks, mate... watch this space...

at this stage we have 3 teams committed - dons, pies and demonland/demonology - with the blues not looking like getting enough numbers to participate... dogs, tigers and saints are also possibilities... because we now have a guaranteed venue and (at least one) opponent, I will tonight seek official approval from the leadership group by email/pm and send emails/pms to our regulars and past players... regards, rollo

pies have an organiser this time, and report that bombers seem to be keen...

thanks, toot... I think everyone else is away, or registering their silent protest at the new format of the board... I am unnerved myself at the fact that it is so white... anyway, things will become clearer after sunday, and if you look at the pies site, we may have opponents we have never played before - dons, tigers, bulldogs... watch this space, if you can stand the brightness... regards, rollo

game will be at vic park, don't know how many teams involved yet...

Hey, SM, hope somedody takes you up on this... may be woth a pm to melbournefc, wolfmother and funky41... (they are the posters who have indicated interest in the past)... meantime, the pies have indicated interest in february 28, and it could turn into a round-robin involving the tigers, dons and saints as well... watch this space... regards, rollo

just heard from barnesy, the talkingcarlton organiser... if he can get the numbers, he is looking at 10am on february 28... can people give their views on the date and time, definitely in, definitely out etc ?? if barnesy can't come up with the numbers by next Sunday, he will withdraw the proposal... I will keep you posted... regards, rollo

no, my posts and telephone calls have stirred up no interest from the other sites' organisers... I don't think they want to play us... wonder why ?? if we truly want a february game, I can only suggest a hit-out demonland versus demonology, the gurnseys will be no problem, the venue will be no problem, and the split-up of the teams will be no problem... I am swamped at work at the moment, so I don't intend to spend any more time on this suggestion, unless you people indicate that it is a welcome idea... at least the match would be played in good spirit, and if wise decked any demonologist, he would suffer grvieviously with malice aforethought... I would even volunteer to find a coach for demonology, hopefully a past player who could match wits with redleg and whispering jack... regards, rollo

no challenges yet, and it will be february soon... :angry: I will put some feelers out on the other forum sites... watch this space... cash-strapped demonland versus cash-rich demonology ?? (we could play for money)...

hey, andy, demonology is there for you guys... if it is just a money problem in the future, please send me a pm on here and we will get it sorted... love this site and appreciate your time and efort... regards, rollo
