Official Match Thread Season 17 Grand Final: Dragons FFC vs. West Coast Wonders @ Boncers' Castle

[Danoz]

I'd like to call a toast to congratulate the Wonders, scum as they are, on making it through to the grand final, against all expectations, through the best of times recently, and the blurst of times otherwise.

You were s**t, and going to miss the finals, then pulled a last minute win out of your collective arses to just scrape through.

Well done.

The Dragons have your measure this week though.

Let's look back on last time we met;

[SSwans2011]

Hilarious that the Wonders are talking about activity in this thread when only 2 of them bothered to rock up last week.

* me, you're a sore loser. The banter was shithouse all round last week, both teams. Look at our other threads throughout this finals series... what does that tell you?

Now please, we have a grand final to win. You may enjoy wasting your chances, but we intend on making the most of our's.

 

[PVF]

Are we seriously talking about activity in a grand final thread?

We are ALL better than this.

Don't worry, i'll be spitting out some Grand Final stats soon

Hmm, stats. I still think its disappointing. I can remember yourself, TFB and in Crow Eater at the start. I'll admit I am obviously wrong about the number of posters, but s**t it was terrible posting.

But alas, you have stats to back you up, I just have an opinion on it. You win this round PFV, but the Dragons will win the GF and I will see you and the wonders next season. I hope you all show up.

Atleast you admit you were wrong, alot of people struggle with that so kudos to you

Yes you will.

I don't care about the loss. It happened. But the banter during the week was s**t house.

 

[RookieListed]

Wonders getting the better of you?, I hear you're infamous for your meltdowns , apparently you quit after your last one?

Doesn't take into account I have moved into the midfield and will single handily take down the dragons.

[Eth]

No one knows who the **** quivorir is but looks like we can add him to the flog group of the SFA.

Btw, the thread still got to a respectable post count. Your own ex captain Eth said that you were inactive all season until the final series. Were you even active when we met during the last round, a few weeks before we knocked you out?

Looks like Pantskyle might need to enforce that no dickhead policy earlier than he thought.

I prefer being tagged, I'd rather have the indication to come here and tell everybody they're terrible rather than having to put in the legwork myself.

You've just taken the place of an otherwise better qootballer. Fail on PVF's behalf.

[Danoz]

I seem to remember popping in for a look-see and commenting on the shitness of the thread. I was then howled down for bringing it up. I can't help if the thread made me vomit in disgust.

Interesting that you point this game out and say you have no fear of facing us away from home because we did exactly the same thing earlier this season.

We've won our past four games in a row, I think I have this thing covered pretty well.

Genius move on my behalf.

Excellent call, and similar to...

Doesn't take into account I have moved into the midfield and will single handily take down the dragons.

... Deddy was our ruck, TFW has been arguably the best performed ruck since taking that position. Deddy has also shown what he can do when let loose in the middle.

pantskyle was also your ruck, and since leaving has opened up the position to a much poorer qootballer in ClarkeM.

Actually I believe that's Clarkey's last game as ruck. The rookie sensation Brown Bottle has been dominating in the ruck for us ever since.

So basically these past two games played against eachother have no factor in this match. I believe the Wonders have the edge based on the fact that we are on a hot streak and have much more finals and Grand Final experience for that matter.

 

[Speck]

How can anyone seriously question our form going into this? We're on a roll and despite being up against it recently we've always come home strong.

I'd rather have won a few on the trot rather than playing every second week at this stage.

Well if you had any idea Brown Bottle is in the ruck now and to call clarkey less of a player than pants is a ridiculous statement. Nothing against pants but s**t if I have the stats to back me up he has twice the stats. Yeah that makes sense move on....

Actually its interesting you both bring this up. The form lines of both teams are eerily similar.

pantskyle Can we keep him? Please?

 

[SSwans2011]

I've posted a song everyday (2 songs!) about getting it on and I'm all out of decent songs, so let's go back to the T-Rex side, which imo should be the theme of the final.



This is my best idea since the Wonders recruitment pitch I came up with.

The last time both teams lost was at the same time, rounds 16 and 17. You may have won 5 of your last 8, but the Dragons have only lost two in the last 8 weeks.

So basically you guys have won 6 out of your last 8, don't spin words around to make yourself look good

And by judging by what you have shown you guys seem to have been alot more dominant than us. However I believe this game will go down to the wire and our last four games have been really tight so I think the Wonders have it covered when it comes down to pressure time.

Oh, STAT!!!

I'm getting quite moist over this, let's keep it going!
