Official Match Thread Season 36 Round 9 - Sin City Swamprats v Ophidian Old Boys @ Underground Stadium [MOTR]

[Ocha905]

The Season So Far:

Team	Ladder Position	Wins	Losses	Percentage
Swamprats	7th	4	4	89.89
Old Boys	11th	4	3	103.83

All time H2H:

The reigning premiers have won both contests in this potentially budding rivalry.

Last time they met: Round 9, Season 35

The Old Boys used a fast start to keep at arms reach of the Swamprats, leading at every change to claim a comfortable 20pt win.



Last week:

Sin City win a 5pt nail biter against Las Vegas to rise one spot on the ladder. BOG was probably GotTheGoodes (21 possies, 3 marks, 1 goal) but they had good support from BloodySwan (13 possies, 5 tackles, 2 goals) and paraaaa (15 possies, 3 marks, 2 goals).
Meanwhile OOB's continue to metaphorically kick their season OOBotF, losing by 10pts due to being more inaccurate for goal than the Royals. That said, there were some strong performances lead by Fleabane (28 possies, 8 tackles, 5 free kicks), the immortal fumbler (22 possies, 10 marks, 2 tackles) and Wickzki (an efficient 5 goals from 7 kicks).

All SFA watch:

KinderSmock has provided run and carry all season long to become a premier half back flanker and a key reason the rodents from Alberton are entrenched in the 8 currently.
A symptom of the premiership hangover is the Orphidian squad struggling at the moment for contenders but, like last season, a strong second half is expected. Bonz currently has 28 goals but could go on a hot streak at any time.

Final Word:

This is quite a clash of styles from two very different clubs. Form is very fickle in SFA but I'm expecting the Swamprats to celebrate their first victory over the Private Schoolers and continue their win streak without HoFer Okey at FF.

Well the VFL GF sucked. The AFL GF will suck. The NRL GF will suck.

I should go to Egypt where there isn't a hockey rink footy field within 1,500 miles.

Two Big Mac meals for $8 was just too tempting.

Zinger twisters are so goddamn good.

Alright I'm done arguing with North fans about that fantasy league

 

[Firestarter]

Don't get us involved

The Brownlow medal would have to be the most boring event on the footy calendar.

The Brownlow medal would have to be the most boring event on the footy calendar.

Growing up in Sydney it was never on the TV. Having watched it I felt better not watching it before

Never trust a fart, always treat it with suspicion

Every day is boring when your team sucks.

• Royals beat Old Boys by 10 points
• Rats beat Royals by 32 points

So surely it follows that the Rats beat the Old Boys this week by 42 points - that's how the sim works, yeah?

Hey Old Boys…


You suck.

 

[Firestarter]

Higher up on the ladder with worst percentage. Is this North Melbourne circa 2008-2013?...

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Ha ha ha you lot have the most degrading name and logo in the entire sweet FA!

It's time to call the exterminators in to deal with this crowd of filthy rats!

The AFL grand final won't suck if the pies bottle yet another grand final!

Hey Old Boys…


You suck.

Shut up you filthy rat.

Al Bundy sure does have the vibe of a Pies fan about him.
