ITS FINALS TIME, BABY!
Congrats - your team has made it to the last 6 of 12 teams in a randomised simulation online game of football, what an astounding and massive achievement!
In all seriousness though - It is well documented, that there is so only much that Qooty skills on game day will do for you in this farmers league. The key to gaining an advantage is via subterfuge. In the effort to keep this a fair and unbiased competition still, I have done the dirty work for you lot, sneaking into each training facility during the early hours of Monday morning and taking snapshots of what’s on the team boards…so finalists, once again, you can just thank me later for the tireless, thankless work that is Melon journalism.
Let's check the teams!
WEST COAST WONDERS
Fresh off a lost grand final last year, damicky and co have been working hard behind the scenes to ensure they go one step further this year. This includes rumors of signing players with usernames such as 'IlovetheSIM' and 'WondersFurTheWin', so only time will tell how far that gets them. Also of note, however, is that while the Wonders scored over 1400pts and again were a slick offensive unit, their defense had more holes in it than....well, swiss chess. They come up against a rampaging bombers outfit that are perhaps one of the hardest to slow down in recent history, when momentum is going their way. Can HARPSichord AnUltimateRessie Grand Uncle Horace and co hit that post count, avoid melting when pressure is applied and find their way to a prelim? You'd hate to be the Bombers team that loses to THIS outfit.
BAGHDAD BOMBERS
A tale as old as time. Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Except if you ask Baghdad, they are both the unstoppable force and immovable object. So they're net neutral and going nowhere? Anyway, back to the task at hand.
Kilroy and BLUEALLTHRU have curated this list year after year, it feels this team is always there or thereabouts and to the ire of the SFA they always find a way to be relevant (keep your enemies closer, etc?). This powerhouse team probably should have had a few more wins in Season 36, they sullied away some valuable premiership points too often but gained the double chance nonetheless. Despite boasting the best percentage league wide of over 112, the Bears showed last week there is a blue print to beating this team and it's not playing Whack-A-Camel in the lead up. What is sure to be a high scoring affair, which of these dominant offenses will come out on top? More importantly, do the Wonders know if they lose to the Bombers they are required to rename their first-born children to Abdu? Oof, big test.
Melon, where are the patented secrets, I hear you ask? Well given you made it to the end of the post and definitely didn't skip to the end, here is the reward for your efforts
THE SECRET FORMULA*
*Definitely proven to win you the game, 50% of the time

Good luck!
