"cool with postponing ?" is hards on line ?? my kingdom... my kingdom for a hards on...

"So Sunday 11th February - 2pm" what say you, hards ??

"Ok - lets go for Sunday the 18th February" what do you say, hards ?? (finger poised over bulk email button)

"I'm sure we could get together a crew for it." Sorry, hards... february is impossible for me... time for somebody else to step up to organise support numbers ?? do you want me to email the usual suspects ??

can't wait, kell...

(uneducated) bump...

thanks, kell... mrs rollo and I have just snared the first two tickets... anyone thinking of coming up and wants local info on accomodation etc is welcome to send me a pm on here...

"Next time we should give out a couple of contact mobile numbers..." great idea, oxxx... still, after our first game, who could have picked the great no-show ??

"player by player..." the babies...according to wise, these ankle-biters were scotty's little brother and his mate...boy, can they play...happy they were not run down by any gorillas ( we might have been sued !!)...these kids did the red and blue proud, filling in in the second half and showing superb footy skills for their age... the fill-ins...how embarassing, the sainters had to loan us 2 players at the start to help us field a team...both tried so hard, I had to wonder...as our ranks filled (thanks to robbo and oxx) the sainters asked for these guys back and they refused !!...turns out one of them (at least) was not a saints supporter, and they stayed with the winning team...thanks, guys... the missing...davey_magic, brey9186, giro, dalrot, neitstar, chief demon, pringle, demondomination, jimi9, chooker, the chook factor, madness...guys, we understand if things happened that meant you could not come...we don't understand why you did not warn us...I know 3 posters who did not offer to play because our bench was so full...please don't do this to us next time... :angry: the unavailable...just to mention a few... dazzledavey36, no more promises, dd...if you are playing next time, say so and do it, mate...think february, 2007... sleeve...looking forward to seeing you injury-free, mate... riv...we need your class if the sainters bring their gun players next time... finks and scatter...no cricket madness in the lead-up next time, please...

"player by player..." the stynes factor...without the chookers (who will probablt turn up next sunday), it was good to have a carrot-top in the team...co-ordinated (in a chooker sort of way), team-oriented and fierce at the ball and the man, tsf summed up for me why the dees would not yield the day...he was not going to stop running and he was not there to lose...epitome of the team player...loved your work, mate... doggo24...great exponent of the contested mark, we should try to get this bloke off the fags and halfway fit...doggo was threatening (after a few drinks) to get back into competitive footy...hope you find the motivation, son...some of those marks were pure gold... scotty...another of robbo's mates...shared the forward-line honours with cactus and hards...good lead, sure hands, lovely set-shot for goal...heard robbo's call and rushed down to plat without footy boots !!...a real candidate for best 3 and genuine contender for BOG with 5 goals and multiple assists... oxxx's rugby mate...sorry I mised the name...came down to help on oxxx's call...could be useful if he learns the rules...inventive hand-passes gave the sainters a few free kicks, but...built like a brick [censored]-house, no sainter seemed to want to pick him up...thanks, mate...

"player by player..." tom (robbo's mate)...solid, dependable, no-nonsense sort of player...short of a run (like most) but obviously knows his way around a footy field...a real asset (thanks, robbo)... hards...light build is more than made up for by fierce determination and will to win...has manfully battled injuries to make it onto the field in both forum games...100% record as captain-coach...leads by example and leaves it to wise to say the obvious... robbo24...injured early, robbo is the ultimate team player, having convinced cribbes to play again, tom to come down, and scotty to leave the gym and join the fray...robbo's talents were sadly cut short this game...we will have to wait to see those carefully-crafted behinds...how's the knee, mate ?? cactus...a russell robertson-like performance...7 goals, and 4 of them in the priemiership quarter !!...injured before last game (when he skillfully managed the bench as goober13)...great skill at finding space and time in heavy traffic...accurate shot for goal...definate candidate for best 3... diesel...older poster carrying injury...would have been happy not to play if the youngsters who promised had turned up...put in 4 solid quarters (as all had to do with no bench), laid lots of tackles and put in many one percenters...inspirational goal in the first quarter...score one for the old men on site !! melbournefc...shot out of the blocks with two early goals in the first quarter...thereafter, the sainters paid him close attention, easing the pressure on scotty and cactus...broke through for his third goal in the final quarter...definite asset...brought friends who took quality photos, so very definite asset...

"we would have to have a ticketed game." free day in melbourne tomorrow, so up late tonight... player by player... oxxx... brave at the contest in the first quarter...retired then to ring round (with great results) to bring our team up to strength...returned in the second half...good voice and counsellor to our first gamers - "NO FADE-OUT !!"...has now played in both games...a valuable veteran... wise monkey (aka wise ass)...arrogant, belligerant, fierce at the contest...mid-field, then back-line general...led by example, and planned ahead, making suggestions and rotating the mids...couldn't catch the saints' nippy rover, but then, nobody could...barassi-like interventions at crucial times...candidate for the thinking spectator's best 3... james (wise's mate)...quiet, disciplined, natural footballer...did his job without fuss or fanfare...a real asset to the team and a great bloke...you gotta wonder why wise deserves a mate like this...(maybe more depth to wise than appearances suggest) freak/imtoohot...not the same player, but your correspondent found them, like the febey boys, impossible to distinguish...young, blonde, athletic, skillful, the whole package...classic rovers/midfielders...if james macdonald can make it...together, number one on field...separately, candidates for BOG, but allocating stats was impossible without a zoom lens... cribbes...our lazy, 9 foot ruckman...had no opponent this time, and dominated the centre clearances, giving us first use time and time again...played back and forward like jimmy stynes in his prime...reads the game well, good below his knees, excellant disposal by hand and foot...lots of saints' posters have him in our best 3...a real factor in their second loss to us in a row...

thanks, diesel...

could somebody post my apology on demonology ?? I can't access the site from the idiot computer I'm using in melbourne to report on the game... posting a link to this thread there would be a kindness...
