Recreational Footy 2007

Update: from Lauren

I am having trouble securing an oval, Maribyrnong and Brimbank council
have nothing I can use.


If we can't find an oval the season won't be running, but hopefully I
can!

Disappointing to hear, hopefully they find something.

Someone aggresively yelling an offer to leave the bench to fight the AFL's CEO* in a recfooty match was my funniest thing for the year. Who was that crazy guy?



*I think it was actually one of AA's teammates, but you know, don't spoil a good story with the truth.

I was sorely provoked. And PC was egging me on.




Are we taking our business elsewhere if they dont get the comp up and running?

Our team is thinking the same thing.

However, apart from Sandringham there doesn't seem to be much going on in the West (i.e Carlton, Preston etc). Struggling to get a contact name for any co-ordinators....it's not looking to hopeful...

 

[Pembleton]

No coburg comp?

Hi All,
Update from Lauren:
===================================
We have finally been able to find a ground to host rec footy this season! Due to the Whitten Oval redevelopment and the oval being off limits, we have been able to secure the ground at Dinjerra Primary School, South Road Braybrook (about 2 km from the Whitten Oval, melways ref: 41 D2).
We will be starting on Monday 15th October and games will be played from 6.30pm onwards. If you want a team in the competition let me know as we may get teams from other competitions wanting to come over to ours as everyone is finding it hard to find ovals.
Prices are still the same as the last season - $20 rego and $80 a team per game (rego will be due by round 3). I have attached the team registration form for you to fill out and send back or you can fax back to 9680 6103.
If you have any queries just give me a call – 9680 6158
Regards,
Lauren Sandford

Depends on the numbers we get for Bigfooty Bulldogs.

Should we make this thread the official BF Bulldogs sign-up thread.

I'm back on board now that we have a starting date.

Might have to start a new one to avoid surfing to the 3rd page and I'm in as well.

I will update this post with names added.

[dales.girl38]

I'm in again, it was great last time.

 

[borgy]

My career is in doubt with shin splints


I would love to play guys but ive been having trouble with my hammy but ill still try to get down and watch a few matches.

 

[mjp]

Depending on my ridiculously dodgey knee, I will be an in. I was kind of looking forward to this season as there was going to be no chance of being interupted by coaching duties...but now it seems I am headed for a scalpel!

 

[onslaught]

Excellent, thread updated!

Just a reminder that we need girls to play, so if you are up for a non-contact version of footy to play with other Bulldogs faithful then jump onboard!

 

[Pigdog]

I would be interested in playing a few games if required.

 

[Pembleton]

I'm in. No Sarah though, she's still in the recovery phase from a hernia op.

 

[Rocco Jones]

I'm in too.

 

[onslaught]

Updated!

 

[rapidshave]

With only 10 days to go till the start of the season do you guys reckon a training session before our first game would be something anyone involved would be interested in?

Also any word Ons on our fixture or how many teams are up and running for this season?

 

[onslaught]

This just in!

Just to let you know I have had to change the dates of the rec footy comp to starting on the 29th of October as daylight saving will have started by then. This new oval we are at does not have lights! I thought daylight savings started earlier this year but that will be as of 2008.

I'm not up for training this coming Monday (due to illness/injury/whatever) but perhaps the monday that was to be the start of season would be a good chance to meet up and have a kick.

 

[Palace03]

Good to see the BF Bulldogs back again, our boys will be going around again. See you all on the 29th.

Sounds like a plan, bit disappointing that the season has been pushed back although it gives us (and myself) more time to prepare.

Ditto, I should be in for that Monday also

 

[borgy]

Awesome!

I'll be up by then so count me in
