Thanks for another top day rollo...

G'day rollo keen for a run again... Late notice I know... Let me Know ASAP whether any team is short on numbers... 0430524666

You want it to be a repeat of the bears do you??? These clubs need to be successful from the get go to attract a following..... AFL have learnt from the bad news bears..... They will not let this fail. Expansion is good for the game across all levels If you boycott Melbourne vs gc games in Melbourne you are just hurting your own club

Do the umps get paid For the forum games or are they volunteering their time?

Also dying to the pics from Sunday....... Nicks or bomberblitz don't have em up yet

Rollo I know you have done all you can it's a fantastic effort what you do for us guys and the umps do a grat job....... when I played my first game at goshs paddock I was surprised that we had proper umps. I'm not looking for anything from you or any other demons guys

Yeah I understand you can't control every idiot but if someone is doing stupid [censored] on the field then they should be prepared to be called on it. The only reason I posted in this thread was that it annoyed me seeing other Melbourne people trying to downplay the incident...... Obviously I understand the risks associated with playing footy but we have a duty of care to each other to avoid injuring other players when possible. If my injury had happened in a fair bump or fair tackle or whatever I would not have an issue with it......... I think comparing me typing some strong sentiment on an Internet forum to putting somebody in hospital is a bit rough........ If I am being over the top it hasnt caused anybody to go to hospital. This is the last I will say on the matter pendin anymore posts from dees guys down playing it Am looking forward to the next game as I thoroughly enjoy these events.

Grossly exaggerated hey??? Yes definitely holding the ball. Was not that close to the boundary line which just shows that you weren't that close to the incident....... It was the same bloke that took my head off at full back in the 1st half in an over zealous tackle but he did apologise for the first stupid tackle so there was no hard feelings. I have no problem with hard tough footy but the fact of the matter is he dumped me very late after the ball had spilled free and there was no need to tackle that ferociously in a social game of footy. The fact that the umpires didn't reverse the free doesn't mean much as they are local level umpires...... How many times do umps miss frees..... Very common but I do not begrudge the umps for it as it is part of footy. What annoys me is that it was totally avoidable I understand if you think essendon people over exaggerated the tackle due to bias but all the collingwood guys commented to me that it was a stupid tackle as did some of the police that were watching at the time. What pisses me off is people like you down playing it. Bottom line is that after the whistle blew he continued to dump me...... Was a dog act due to the fact it was a social game of footy and that's why I'm so angry about it

hey guys im from the essendon forum and i`d just like to give a big thanks to rollo for organising sunday i really enjoy these games on a more sour note a big F**K YOU to the melbourne guy that dumped me in a tackle after the ball spilled free while my arms were pinned and you had already been paid the free kick......its a social game of footy no need for that kind of s**t........thanks to your heroics i spent time in hospital sunday night and have had to take time off work and may need surgery on my damaged shoulder..........hope you are proud of yourself mate.......
