have heard from talkingcarlton, and it's GAME ON !! also heard from robbo24, who is doubtful...

yea, official extended forecasts are in... showers early, clearing skies, cool... humidity 69%, maximum 22 degrees... have just asked the talkingcarlton guys to confirm game on...

"its not the wobbly punts that the carlton boys would be scared of, but at least i make them earn it when its on the ground..." dunno, deanox, the wobbly punts at goal terrified me...

note tonight that the days leading up to february 8 will be mild enough, with temperatures in the middle 20's... fingers crossed... I will wait for the official long-range weather forecast before sending reminder emails and pm's to all players and helpers...

yep, 26 degrees is all we can coax out of the internet at the moment... this will change on monday, when the mainstream weather sites get to february 8... may be time to stop worrying about the weather and start worrying about the opposition...

think you are right, Benno... Just heard the long-range forecast is for 26 degrees, so we may be worrying over nothing...

some days ago, we agreed with the talkingcarlton guys that the game should be called off if the long-range forecast says it is going to be too hot... they have now suggested that, if that occurs, we could start at 11.30am... can we have some feedback on here ?? 11.30am start a problem for anyone ??

no idea who it might be, mate... and it's still just a possibility, as far as I know...

have taken possession of "the duke" trophy from the sponsors on demonology... it's basically just a lump of polished wood with the melbourne and carlton colours displayed... but, given the rough treatment endured by the "big carl" trophy over it's short life, including one trip back to the maker for repairs, this block of wood may be the way to go... dunno if earl spalding would approve though...

good luck, 426... (I mean pringle )... at 29, mate, you should be leaving it to us younger blokes...

we were waiting for the news, and here it is... cribbes is unavailable... and deanox as well (no wobbly torpedo goals or other under 9's skills on display this game)... now asking the rest of our TBC list to confirm or beg off... here is the updated game thread: sunday, february 8 at 2pm... venue is gosch's paddock... playing for "the duke" (the earl splading trophy)...(confirmed by both sides)... past record is dees 1, blues 0... confirmed players...Doggo, funky41, Charlesy, Heater, Oxxx, Mclean4brownlow, scotty1, Imtoohot, Wise, the_russian and one mate, Tassie_Dee and two mates, fuzz, ucanchoose, madness, scotty2 (mate of madness), mickrocks1, BennytheJet, Demon_Tingles, swannie (mate of fuzz), The Stynes Factor, dazzledavey36, 45hotgod, (99%) of Benno, (90%) of Hards, jacko (mate of Mcl4b), luke (mate of scotty1)... players TBC...becks, dooky (pringle's brother), pringle, sean (mate of scotty1)... confirmed coaches...redleg, Whispering_Jack... confirmed helpers...rollinson 65(from demonology), Dee Knees, pringle (if the hamstring prevents him from playing)... helpers TBC...legend, do it for robbie... injury list...pringle 1-2 weeks, rivvo(from demonology) - the knee (waiting on MRI to confirm the dreaded ACL)... apologies...Cactus, Wolfmother, Toot182, george_on_the_outer, tarzan16, grant, Freak, melbournefc, travis, jo, rusty_kingswood, james, BL2381(permanent apology), cameron the bruce, cribbes, deanox... starting positions to be decided by the coaches on the day... after-match beer at cricketers arms hotel, punt road... please post on this thread to complete our numbers for february 8, and new players let us know what position(s) you would prefer to play... don't be put off by our existing numbers, the heat will be as big an opponent as the talkingcarlton guys...

the forum footy organiser on talkingcarlton, barnsey, is a top bloke and obviously a talented and energetic organiser... he wants a clarification, and I am happy to post it here... the ex-AFL player (who played for carlton and may play for talkingcarlton) is a mate of a poster on their site... they have not gone out actively recruiting to gain an unfair advantage...

well, WJ, 4-6 weeks may be a bit optimistic about rivvo, but we will find out more by game time... now asking our TBC list to confirm or beg off... here is the updated game thread: sunday, february 8 at 2pm... venue is gosch's paddock... playing for "the duke" (the earl splading trophy)...(confirmed by both sides)... past record is dees 1, blues 0... confirmed players...Doggo, funky41, Charlesy, Heater, Oxxx, Mclean4brownlow, scotty1, Imtoohot, Wise, the_russian and one mate, Tassie_Dee and two mates, fuzz, ucanchoose, madness, scotty2 (mate of madness), mickrocks1, BennytheJet, Demon_Tingles, swannie (mate of fuzz), The Stynes Factor, dazzledavey36, 45hotgod, (99%) of Benno, (90%) of Hards, jacko (mate of Mcl4b), luke (mate of scotty1)... players TBC...becks, deanox, dooky, pringle, sean (mate of scotty1)... confirmed coaches...redleg, Whispering_Jack... confirmed helpers...rollinson 65(from demonology), Dee Knees, pringle(if the hamstring prevents him from playing)... helpers TBC...legend, do it for robbie... injury list...pringle 1-2 weeks, rivvo(from demonology) - the knee (waiting on MRI to confirm the dreaded ACL)... apologies...Cactus, Wolfmother, Toot182, george_on_the_outer, tarzan16, grant, Freak, melbournefc, travis, jo, rusty_kingswood, james, BL2381(permanent apology), cameron the bruce... starting positions to be decided by the coaches on the day... after-match beer at cricketers arms hotel, punt road... please post on this thread to complete our numbers for february 8, and new players let us know what position(s) you would prefer to play... don't be put off by our existing numbers, the heat will be as big an opponent as the talkingcarlton guys...

cameron the bruce is an apology, but that's good news about luke, and I hope that sean can make it because he will be tested this game... talkingcarlton's numbers are starting to match ours now... <_< now asking our TBC list to confirm or beg off... here is the updated game thread: sunday, february 8 at 2pm... venue is gosch's paddock... playing for "the duke" (the earl splading trophy)...(confirmed by both sides)... past record is dees 1, blues 0... confirmed players...Doggo, funky41, Charlesy, Heater, Oxxx, Mclean4brownlow, scotty1, Imtoohot, Wise, the_russian and one mate, Tassie_Dee and two mates, fuzz, ucanchoose, madness, scotty2 (mate of madness), mickrocks1, BennytheJet, Demon_Tingles, swannie (mate of fuzz), The Stynes Factor, dazzledavey36, 45hotgod, (99%) of Benno, (90%) of Hards, jacko (mate of Mcl4b), luke (mate of scotty1)... players TBC...becks, deanox, dooky, pringle, sean (mate of scotty1)... confirmed coaches...redleg, Whispering_Jack... confirmed helpers...rollinson 65(from demonology), Dee Knees, pringle(if the hamstring prevents him from playing)... helpers TBC...legend, do it for robbie... injury list...rivvo(from demonology) - the knee (waiting on MRI to confirm the dreaded ACL)... apologies...Cactus, Wolfmother, Toot182, george_on_the_outer, tarzan16, grant, Freak, melbournefc, travis, jo, rusty_kingswood, james, BL2381(permanent apology), cameron the bruce... starting positions to be decided by the coaches on the day... after-match beer at cricketers arms hotel, punt road... please post on this thread to complete our numbers for february 8, and new players let us know what position(s) you would prefer to play... don't be put off by our existing numbers, the heat will be as big an opponent as the talkingcarlton guys...

"It's taking a bloody long time to have an MRI..." if I have understood rivvo's emails correctly, the doctors started with consevative management, and the MRI is scheduled for January 29... rivvo is going to try to make the game on february 8 as a spectator, so we should find out more then...

we are short 2 players IMO... 30 was the number of committed players we had last time against this mob, and we scraped in for a win by the skin of our teeth... and hoping that cribbes responds to my emails, because we are desperately in need of a ruckman... doggo, benno and madness have filled in (in past games) but these guys are better suited to other roles... come in cribbes, robbo24 and any other past players or new players... we need you...

many thanks for that offer, pringle... hope the hamstring comes up, but on or off the field, you will be good value... now asking our TBC list to confirm or beg off... here is the updated game thread: sunday, february 8 at 2pm... venue is gosch's paddock... playing for "the duke" (the earl splading trophy)...(confirmed by both sides)... past record is dees 1, blues 0... confirmed players...Doggo, funky41, Charlesy, Heater, Oxxx, Mclean4brownlow, scotty, Imtoohot, Wise, the_russian and one mate, Tassie_Dee and two mates, fuzz, ucanchoose, madness, scotty2 (mate of madness), mickrocks1, BennytheJet, Demon_Tingles, swannie (mate of fuzz), The Stynes Factor, dazzledavey36, 45hotgod, (99%) of Benno, (90%) of Hards, jacko (mate of Mcl4b)... players TBC...becks, deanox, dooky, pringle... confirmed coaches...redleg, Whispering_Jack... confirmed helpers...rollinson 65(from demonology), Dee Knees, pringle(if the hamstring prevents him from playing)... helpers TBC...legend, do it for robbie... injury list...rivvo(from demonology) - the knee (waiting on MRI to confirm the dreaded ACL)... apologies...Cactus, Wolfmother, Toot182, george_on_the_outer, tarzan16, grant, Freak, melbournefc, travis, jo, rusty_kingswood, james, BL2381(permanent apology)... starting positions to be decided by the coaches on the day... after-match beer at cricketers arms hotel, punt road... please post on this thread to complete our numbers for february 8, and new players let us know what position(s) you would prefer to play... don't be put off by our existing numbers, the heat will be as big an opponent as the talkingcarlton guys...
