Official Match Thread Round 3 - Swamprats Vs Demons @ Alberton Oval

Frankston Rover · Mar 17, 2007

Vs.

Well, the Swamprats juggernaught just rolls on. After smashing the Bears in Round 1, they continued to dish out the punishment in Round 2, blowing the Wonders off the park and sending an ominous warning to the rest of the competition. Back at home, the Swampies will be very hard to beat and another win here will keep them in top spot.

Their opponents, the Demons, are an unknown quantity at the moment. Disappointing in Round 1, they bounced back last week with a good win over the Furies. If they play to their capabilities, they are a chance - anything less and it may get messy. A win here, though, will really help their chances of playing finals and let the rest of the competition know that they definitely aren't easy beats.

Teams to be in before 9pm AEST, Thursday.

One change for league leaders

The Alberton Swamprats have made just the one match for the Round 3 clash against the Mt Buller Demons this week.

Manureid comes into the side for his debut match in the Sweet FA. Manureid had some impressive moments during the pre season competition, showing a lot of promise in becoming a high possesion gathering midfielder for the future.

Manureid takes the place of established midfielder Andre, who was dropped for the first time in his career. Andre, who came 2nd in the clubs BnF in their inaugrual season, has struggled for form so far this season.

Captain/Coach Macca19 commented that he hopes to see Andre back to his best soon.

"He's a very good player when in form. He has done a lot of great things for this footy club. Hopefully its the jump start he needs to get his season going. Manureid gets his opportunity. He had a couple of impressive matches in the pre season and he was near BOG in one match. I'm sure he will be looking to impress".

let's go dees, a win on the road is worth 2 at home. Let's beat these rats!

It's a grand old flag, it's a high flying flag...

GO DEES

manureid · Mar 19, 2007

Really looking forward to making an impact from the bench in my debut match. If I am given the chance, I see Andre really struggling to break back into the team at my expense.

dreamkillers · Mar 19, 2007

The bar is fully stocked and ready for this week's game and post match happy hours (all night after the match) when we get up for a win..............

Spadge · Mar 19, 2007

Off to a perfect start to the season and now you Mt Bullers are up against the benchmark at home
suffice to say "its a long way back to Mt Buller after a loss"
so better prepare now

Toots Hibbert · Mar 19, 2007

Don't forget to pop into the Swamprats giftshop prior to the game, you Demons. You'll be wanting to get some souvenirs while you're at Alberton so make sure you don't wait till after the game because we'll all be at the bar.

Go You Swampies!

One of my greatest memories as a player has come at Alberton, knocking off the Swampies in the 2004 finals when no-one gave the old Titans club a hope in hell. I just hope there's some magic left in those visitors rooms.

Frankston Rover · Mar 19, 2007

They don't clean them very often, so there is a big possibility that there is more than magic in there.

I don't think we've ever cleaned the opposition change rooms..............it certainly has an atmosphere like that with the ice cold showers.........

JuniorBurger · Mar 22, 2007

exactly right
we want visiting teams to dread coming to alberton
thats why the visiting changerooms are a bit "funky" to say the least
i prefer to call their changerooms the "sewer"

I think it would be safe to say that the opposition change rooms at Alberton are a far cry from the facilities available to the downhill skiers at Mount Buller.
