Firstly, apologies for missing the last x sessions, knee deep in portfolios, dissertation and exams, hopefully be along on sunday at long last.
Hoping to get a wee bounce game between the oilcats and the reprobates i play with back home this summer. We play as close to full contact as possible, but we have discussed various compromises with flag, such as allowing receivers to call a mark once they have the ball or mikes "blocking and wrapping only" plan.
If we do play it would be 8-a-side and in aberdeen, who would be up for it? And what rules would you be happy to play to?

I'd be happy to play but would this be kitted contact or non-kitted contact?

nice one guys, at the risk of sounding foolish who is "travis" just so i know i'm not double counting people?
Am i right in thinking Mike, Rico, Keiran and Marc are up for it, and Todd and Andy are interested but want clarification of dates and rules before committing?

One concern is that this turns into a full on non-kitted contact match. With the season coming up and some younger, less robust (less fat ) members we could see injuries. Other issue is clashes of heads etc. Just a cheery thought.

Was thinking about that... basically how much contact we talking about?
I mean, I'm used to big hits from rugby etc, but if people get out of control it could lead to injuries.

I think the agreement is that blocking will be allowed (although nothing rediculous) and tackles will be wrap up only. However, I think it is important that everyone is clear on the rules before we start the game.
Whilst I don't have a problem with contact either, I am very wary that the season is just around the corner and we can't afford to lose anyone to injury (especially ones that could easily be avoided!) and so the safety of the team will be foremost to me on Tuesday. Hopefully it won't get out of control, but if it does then the moment it does I won't hesitate to stop the game.
For those who weren't there on Wednesday, I think we agreed to meet at 7pm at Westburn Park on Tuesday night all being well.
We can discuss any other concerns people have tomorrow at training. I completely understand if people don't want to play and like I've said from the start it is completely up to people if they do or don't. This is aimed at being a 'fun' match but I agree that steps need to be taken to ensure that it stays 'fun' for everyone involved.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi guys,
Just to say that I've spoken to Chris and the game will be going ahead tomorrow night. Please meet at Westburn Park (next to the pond) at 7pm.
Cheers,
Mike

I definitely can't make tomorrow night as I am looking after my son. Not sure if my brother is going to make it either as it is my mums birthday tomorrow too.
Is Wednesday training off or are we still doing a wednesday practice too? If Wednesday is off, I need to let the guys from my work who have stated an interest know its off.
At present, I have Carlos, Brett, Jake, Dave and another guy who's name escapes me for the moment interested in coming along.
Cheers Marc
