i dont think you made it earlier on this year to vic park where we played the pies. it was really amazing playing on that ground, and i know they are all feral their supporters but they treated us very well come food and drinks. they got access to the kitchen and had the freezers/fridges/bbq's etc all going. i broke my thumb in 2 places and their support was amazing, the first aid kit and everything...ice, bandages..you name it they had it! would love to be able to play them there again. playing on vic park didnt mean too much to me as i never saw a game there, but im sure it would to a few of our guys and most of theirs!
lol, i suggested the round robin between the four forums (even inviting puntroadend) on talking carlton. i'll put something on nick's but i can't organise anything from way over here. i think gosch's paddock is a no go but vic park might be available again; would need to speak to shane.

Yep go for it.
The Dees and Blues are available on that day, so they can take each other on. Im sure Rollo is cool with it. If not, I'll know soon enough.
HD, I've asked the Bomberblitz boys (and girls) whether they'd be interested and I'll give you the number next Friday.
Any less than 25 I wouldn't bother though going by what happened last year!
there is overwhelming support on all sites for a round robin on november 8...
involving saintsational, pies, blues and dees...
can we discuss your opposition to this or is your mind made up?
look, your objections may convince me, but until I know what they are, I cannot comment or pass them on to my people...
we cannot raise a team on the later date you have suggested in november because of school exams, but if the round robin can't happen, we would be looking forward to february 2010...

If enough people are interested then ok, but it seemed 50/50 on here....from limited replies, dooley what is the Pies preference?

about 60/40, round-robin way.
i just really dont know, i would much rather play 4 full quarters againts the 1 team per month, but if people want to give this a try well we might as well

ok by me i guess, but 4 hours is a bloody long time lol. might have to push the start time too 12.30 not 2

the talkingcarlton guys have made me see sense here...
we need to have time for the social part, to involve the wives/girlfriends/supporters...eating/drinking/talking with footy freaks from the other clubs...
suppose we draw for positions and it works out...
dees v blues 12pm
saints v pies 12.40pm
losers play 1.20pm
winners play 2pm
social BBQ etc starts 2pm for players/supporters of losing teams, joined later by players/supporters of winning teams...
it's manageable...
each team must miss out playing one of the opposition teams, but they can then be preferred priority team for february...

I reckon if we play 4 games, we make them 2 20 minute harves, thus everyone plays 4 20 minute quarters as per normal game?
Thus we play the same amount of footy we normally would?
