Also special mention to Yipper and the bloke who ran the boundry, in such heat that was a super effort.

Good to come away with a win and the BIG CARL!

Also huge thanks to Back From USA for the bbq which went down a treat and to the Demons boys for providing the liquids

Who ever is next inline HD might wanna thinkl twice about playings us, because yesterday we were:

SAINTSATIONAL!

that was my mate phil

he was itching to play but suprised at how much conditioning he's lost

he ran the 5.5k charity run a few weeks ago, but was absolutely gassed.

he racked up about 100 games for waverley in southern division finishing up about 10 years ago mix and I think another 100 odd in the reserves.

I think he's itching to have kick but he seeing all the young kids there he felt he could contribute more as boundary umpire assisting yips.

he reffed a few years ago, I think the year yipper bunged his knee.

He's a carlton fellow, but he's been my best mate for about 20 years.

Until such time as we lose it again, which hopefully wont be for a while.

Well even if they had somehow beaten us yesterday, we should have taken the trophy home as it was the Spinner Brothers who kept them in the game!

They could get a game with Carlscum as professional 'tankers' They looked like they were really trying to win yesterday but they still managed to lose.

A saintsational effort on their behalf!

30 seconds in. Is the camera angle misleading or did that ginger bloke playing for Melbourne only kick the footy about 5 metres?

Do you work for channel 7 by any chance? Some of those camera angles looked awfully familiar

This one's a bit big, it's the Melbourne pre-match address.

A bit of yipper and I think that's HarveysDeciple saying "...and you always beat us" to the Melbourne players. Nothing wrong with a bit of gamesmanship.

The Melbourne coaches are wearing matching "Football is life" t-shirts too. Aww, bless.

LOL that wasn't me holding the camera. I would've been up some tree with an elevated view of the action.

Haha that's really cute.

Would you expect less from 2 great blokes, notwithstanding that 1 is a Solicitor and the other a Barrister. And the Barrister was actually the Melbourne FC Team Manager when Big Carl was coaching there.

Since I bag Kipper more than I give him praise, it is only fair to to man up and tell everyone that he was senstational.

Seems he goes better with no jet lag.

I don't blame fonzy piking and running away due to Kipper waiting for him for some fisty cufsy, as the hand of god would have whaled fonz all the way back to franga.

Kip took a mark sliding on his back while fighting off an opponent!

And the goal to win the match! A bicycle kick while doing a hand stand from 50 metres out with 40 opponents scragging, kicking and pulling his hair. What a champ.

Sainbot was a top recruit. To think he is 10 years old and is built like Daniel Kerr and looks about 20, the kid has some good years ahead of him.

*15 years old.

Ilzy was dominant. Athlete and a footballer. Great to watch. Best on ground..... behind Kipper. Was looking about as fine as the suit I just saw him in down the street. Sorry for the running, I was in the bad books with the handbag.

Hotdogs and Zody were as dominant as ever.

And what about Ross Lyon Jnr (aka Saintdooley)! He isn't actually 7 years old, as he might appear on the forum.

Thanks to the guys who got the snags under way. You guys might have to sponsor saintbot considering he had about 50 snags and 20 litres of coke.

Was it BackfromUSA who supplied the goods?

You are a star mate - the likes of which make forum meet-ups truly worthwhile. You continually dip in for the rest of us and it's much appreciated.

Shame I couldn't be there.

Dan organized the BBQ and BackFromUSA provided some extras when it looked like there might be a shortage. Dan did most of the cooking as well, so he definitely deserves a pat on the back.

Ilzy#8 · Post: # 480572Post **Ilzy#8** » Mon 22 Oct 2007 5:19pm

I think next time round we should all chip in and get the food as Dan and BFU have always done this for us and along with left over money we should get them an apron with TEAMS HEAD CHEF spelt out on the front!

I'd almost forgotten who hotdogs was...
Man, it's been way too long.
Hopefully i can get myself down to the next game.

yipper · Post: # 480576Post **yipper** » Mon 22 Oct 2007 5:27pm

Yep, another great forum footy day made even better by the hospitality and generosity of the likes of Dan and Backfrom the USA. Dan's mate ran the boundary for me - and although we looked like we were going to keel over at any moment - we made it. Big effort from the big fella. Good bloke too for a Carlton supporter!! What a great game of footy played at a fairly good pace all day (given the hot conditions) - I expected a slower game with players conking out in the heat!! But, not to be - rather a very high standard game with some outstanding individual efforts and some fine team football from both teams. Well played Dees and well done Saints!!

what a phenomenal individual...i blamed my hangover for the no show, but in reality i was shitting myself thinking about what may confront me

congrats to those who did play, not exactly ideal weather for footy.

mightysainters · Mon 22 Oct 2007 7:23pm

G-Unit · Post: # 480686Post **G-Unit** » Mon 22 Oct 2007 8:08pm

hey guys, i finish exams on the 7th of nov, so any time after that and ill be there, but any game before and i cant make it. i think a few guys have exams, so if the next game isnt before the 15th of nov or so, we should have a big turn out.
oh, and can ilzy not play next game, i think some others would like to touch the football

Spinner · Post: # 480694Post **Spinner** » Mon 22 Oct 2007 8:25pm

Cheers guys for an awesome day. It was fantastic to meet so many and actually put a face to the username/avatar that you are instinctively known as, since this being an internet forum.

As already discussed there were three 'traitors' amungst the victorious saintsationalites that ran around in demons colours for the day.

Yet there will be no cry from demonland/ology about 'tankers' in their side as im pretty sure myself and my brothers made it clear we were still trying to win.

. Once we crossed sides we ensured we were loyal to our 'new' teammates and 'new' colours. This ensured that there would be absolutely no 'taint' in victory if in fact Saintsational did get up, which they did.

It was awesome display of talent. With the likes of Ilzy, mightysainters and Saintbot in the middle. Also some great displays at both ends of the ground too, yet cant quite match some of their faces to names.

Cheers for B4EVA, Dan Warna, Yipper and HD for the organisation and contribution to match day. Also, to the coaching 'staff' of Melbourne. Extremely professional. And to the Melbourne players, couldnt have asked for a more welcoming bunch of players, given the fact that we were supposed to be rivals.

Looking forward to the next hitout. And especially looking forward to playing WITH yous, in hopefully another Saintsational WIN!!!!!

Full credit to the Melbourne guys, earlier on it looked like we were going to absolutely pump them, but they managed to adjust their match-ups and come back hard!

Truth be told, if it wasn't for Barks 3/4 time REV-UP we would have been done like a dinner!!

Quite possibly the most inspirational speech I've ever heard.......
