Official Match Thread Season 27 Round 11 - Roys FFC vs Coney Island Warriors at Brunswick Junction Oval

[_Mike_]

I vaguely remember us having a pretty large one at the Outback Bar last season.

Needs more beer

My Bigfooty seems broken. The mouseovers are possessed. I have told my PC to ignore mousover popups, and I've told my chrome to ignore them too. But Bigfooty is going nuts. Every time I wander towards the Alerts button it pops it up without clicking. Hang on maybe I've set my F12 to act like a mobile. That might be it. It's driving me insane ... well, more so. I hate mouseover popups.

Here's another whinge. People were talking about Facebook before. I hardly even touch it anymore. It's just spamorama. I looked this morning and I had 4 alerts. You might think maybe one of those was worthwhile. But no. "Boost your post for etc etc ...", "The people in yadda yadda haven't heard from you in a while.", "Memories, stupid memories", "We've made a video out of the times you looked at alerts this year and threw up all over the monitor." This is why I almost never turn it on. Yesterday I checked out some folk who'd commented on stuff and discovered (unless maybe I already knew and forgot) that someone's become a Dad ... and another a second-time Mum ... if the damn site would stop spamming the arse out of itself I might be able to keep up. M granddaughters are getting old now apparently. I get to know this because family don't use Facebook. I can actually keep in touch ... albeit still vaguely.

And what's with this "lazy loading" bullshit websites do now? Is there anything, anything, that the evolution of net tech will introduce that can actually improve the experience, instead of depreciate it?

At least I finally got a decent night's sleep. Hopefully we can have interesting and fun discussion on this thread this week. And hopefully I annoyed all the phonebois with a long text post.

No change? We're playing like turds and no change?

Why change what's working?

It's all part of the coup plot to overthrow the people at the top!

Can't believe Mooch is still at Full Forward tbh. I reckon a rotational policy through FF of Mooch, Chezzalenko Reborn royboy2 _Mike_ and maybe even Klim would push us forward. We have a strong HF line with I Dont Care nahnah and yourself. And both 3KZ is Football and Allikat add a lot of forward pressure, ably supported by Barrels . Our onballers are good enough. But the focal point up forward needs work.

An 11 man forward six.

Viva la revolution !!

If we can also play an 11 man back six, we might just pull this off..

If this makes you feel better, I actually read your whole post!

This morning Facebook reminded me to wish happy birthday to someone I've met once. But ignored the alert.

One goal, 2 behinds. Many goalposts died to bring you this data.

I don't wish anyone happy birthday anymore. It's oversaturated. I swear they try to have one of these every bloody year.

Ok so are you happy that I read your post?

You didn't acknowledge that

Fact is you only ever have one 'birthday'

Yes, I am overjoyed.

And it's not even the whole day. Usually.

How many times have I hit the ****ing post?

 

[Mobbs]

How many times have I hit the ******* post?

Well you've only scored 2 behinds, so I guess those were both from the great post-hitting day of 2 or 3 rounds ago.

I've gotta get closer to goals. Or further from it?!?!

Well, we won't notice the majestic arc of the torp if you start kicking them from the goalsquare. We probably wouldn't even talk about those ones, those nights. I reckon you're suited where you are, as a bit of flanker

I'm not a bit of a w***er!! Oh wait, you said 'flanker.'

I'm prob a bit of both tbh....

 

[Reardo]

Glad to see you're well, even if you did boot me from facey

Did I? Completely by accident mate, I did a drunken cull ages ago, you must have been one of the unlucky ones for some reason. Maybe it’s because you’re a ginger?

But I'm a ginger and you haven't ... hey wait a minute!

When you say we...?

You and me. Specifically.

Oh shit...

I can quip like nobodies business

I excel in quipping

I can quip 'til the sun goes down (mainly because anything later than that and it's past my bedtime)

But a full blown grown up discussion?? (let alone an interesting one)

Eep!
