Official Match Thread Round 1: Baghdad Bombers vs. Alberton Swamprats @ Abdu Prison

doggiesin08 · Jul 23, 2008

v

The Alberton Swamprats re-enter the competition after a season out of the game and come up a vastly superior Bombers team to that which took the field last season. These two sides clashed twice over the off-season with the Bombers winning the first by 4 points and the Swamprats the second by the smallest of margins (that's 1 point for you South Australians). Both matches were clouded by controversial finishes, however, both games were close enough to suggest we could have a round 1 thriller on our hands here.

The Bombers enter this match, being their first game under new captain Doggiesin08 as well as their first under their new 'Baghdad' title, full of confidence and wanting to prove a point to the rest of the competition. The Bombers recruiting has been in full force over the off-season with Doggiesin08, GreaT SourcE and Lovett Lover 13 being the most high profile signings while many faces have returned to add further strength. Key players for the Bombers look to be full back Mantis who will need to go a long way to contain Swamprats full forward gbear who was a dominant force in the practice matches booting 12 goals, centre-half-back loopy_cam who took the honors on both occasions against Santos L Helper, ruckman Boncer34, while the midfield brigade of Tisto, Shadow Man, Doggiesin08, Ant555, Old Mav and Lovett Lover 13 all look look set to have big seasons.

The Swamprats have flown under the radar for much of the off and pre-season and enter with a relatively unknown side. Headed by Toots Hibbert and dreamkillers the Swamprats will look for solid contributions from ex-Roy FattyLumpkin, blackdiamond, gbear, crazy_big_al and Janus. The Swampies will be keen to get some points on the board early and show the competition just why they deserve to be playing at this level.

PREDICTION: Bombers by 5 goals.

tristo · Jul 23, 2008

Time for real stuff to begin, should be a nice first up win here for the Bombers.

These swamprats will be found out playing with the big boys, pre-season the Bombers never left 1st gear whilst the rats were in top gear from the outset.

Bombers by 10 goals and straight to the top of the ladder

Just to make it known teams need to be in by 9 PM tomorrow night.

Ahh, I see.

You've taken the: that teams too good, we will never win, so we won't turn up approach. Can't say I blame you. You're not the first and won't be the last to be intimidated.

These hacks? When do we get to play some real opposition?

Colin D'Cops · Jul 23, 2008

Lets go Bombers, I'm sure we can knock over these hacks. :thumbsu:

Walk in the park.

They go allright those Swamprats, but business is business!

ant555 · Jul 24, 2008

Is there some sort of rotating draw ? We seem to play the Swampies first round every second year.
Time to get back that finals feeling Bombers. Last year was simply not good enough.

Can't see how the Bombers are going to get out of this match unscathed let alone with any premiership points.

What the feck is the matter with the Baghdad Bombers?

"Abdu Prison unavailable". You call yourselves the Baghdad Bombers yet when your match cannot be played inside the Green Zone you start squealing and looking to have the game transferred to Alberton! FFS we've been looking forward to this trip since we first got back in the league and we insist on playing on your home patch where we will feel quite at home. :thumbsu:

You're a soft bunch of pansies and pretenders as far as we're concerned. I reckon all we'll need to do is provide our players with a handful of throw downs each and your lot will run squealing from the field!

Soft, soft, soft. Baghdad Bridesmaids is what you should be called.

Baghdad is a stroll in the park compared to a night out at the Globe Hotel (RIP) and the cells at Abu Ghraib are more luxurious then those at the Port lock up across the road.

Being a bunch of girls blouses will the Baghdad Bombers have to play in full burqa

What's the odd IED between friends.

iDon · Jul 25, 2008

footy shouldnt be played by the swamprats, they are a disgrace and it just brings the comp down to an allmighty low. They should of remained slogging it out in their home town
