[stage announcer’s voice]

Good evening everybody and welcome to Coney Island’s Night of Nights – the 23rd Frankston Rover Medal Ceremony. Here’s your host, Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Steve Buscemi!



“How do you do, fellow Wazzas? I’m thrilled and honoured to be here with you tonight to host the… uh [squints at prompter] Franklin Lover Medal”.

[puts finger to earpiece]

“What I meant to say was the Frankston Rover Medal. The Frankston Rover Medal is one of two awards across the league named after Frankston Rover - club founder, inaugural captain, former league administrator, Sweet FA Hall of Famer and recent returnee to these parts. It recognises the best Warriors player of the season as voted by you, and has been won by nine currently listed players, from Lord_Flashheart in season 18 through to pantskyle winning a club record sixth Frankie last season. We will also be awarding the Wooshette Medal for the season’s leading goalkicker and the Pwned Trophy for the player whose post made the opposition melt the hardest and the rest of us laugh our arses off.”

“Season 40 may have been a milestone season for the league but it was more of the same for us. We had the obligatory rookie arrival in ubiquitous226 at the start of the season, the obligatory player return in harry000 during the season and the obligatory ninth placed finish at the end of the season, the third such finish in the past four seasons, while awards season was quieter than usual in season 40 with a couple of high finishes in the beez and a Frankston Rover Award the highlights”.

“Until tonight, where we announce our next round of club awards. So join me, actor Steve Buscemi, as we take a look back at season 40”.​

 

[spudmaster]

No pressure or anything, Steve, but Gout Gout vs Kennedy (200m) is scheduled for approx. 9:30 tonight at the Maurie Plant Meet at Albert Park, so you've got just over 2 hours.

Ophidian Old Boys 25.18 (168) defeated Coney Island Warriors 14.7 (91)​

Round one saw us dispatched to Spotswood to face an Old Boys outfit who had a bit of strife in the off-season, the upshot of which was that they had lost some of their hubris. They were still up and about but weren't as insular as before, and they gave us some dubiously-laundered towels. We had the wood on them on field last season, and we were celebrating Dinsdale notching up game 200 so it augured well for a simhousing.

And that's how the match panned out. The hosts kicked four of the first five goals, with the only one our ours coming from the boot of debutant ubiquitous226, and things went downhill from there. An 18 point quarter time deficit turned into 52 at the half then 75 at three quarter time before finishing on 77 points.

The fact that we scored 91 points meant that we finished round one in 10th place on the ladder as thankfully there were worst beatings than ours.

The cloudy conditions meant that there were some standout performances. The centreline of jannissary (25 disposals/5 marks/4 tackles/1 goal), pantskyle (25 disposals/7 marks/3 goals) & FootyGuy13 (26 disposals/9 marks) were dominant, rookie ubiquitous226 was thrown into the ruck and finished with 14 hitouts to go with 17 disposals/3 tackles/2 goals, Barrybran (20 disposals/6 hitouts/3 marks) spudmaster (17 disposals/9 tackles/1 goal) & The Filth Wizard (19 disposals/3 tackles/1 goal) all did well while Freofalcon (2 goals) and oldmate (3 goals) were the other multiple goal kickers.

Coney Island Warriors 16.2 (98) were defeated by East Side Hawks 16.12 (108)​

Round two had us at home for the first thime this season, where we were hosting the Hawks. They were the two time reigning premiers so the outcome of the match was never in question but, like most weeks here, the journey is more enjoyable than the destination. And we seemed to enjoy the journey as 20 of us turned out over the course of the week, even though some of the 20 needed to have their phones hijacked. A Hawk did manage to spend the week entwined with the Whore Tree, if he doesn't leave by the end of the season we'll keep him.

The destination did arrive however on Game Day, as did most of the visitors. We kicked the first two goals in the first two minutes of the first quarter, which was pretty much the only time we led in the match. Although the margin never blew out we could never get our noses back in front (perhaps I should have selected Snuffaluphagus to play), with the only thing keeping us in it was 94% goal kicking accuracy via one kicked behind and one rushed behind. Another reason why the points don't matter.

The second loss from as many games this season saw us drop a couple of spots on the ladder to eleventh, one of five teams to have 0-2 start.

Notable individual performances were from The Half Back (20 disposals/11 marks/2 tackles), Dinsdale (23 disposals/6 marks/3 tackles), jannissary (23 disposals/2 goals), Freofalcon (4 goals from 4 kicks), pantskyle (20 disposals/3 marks/1 goal), TheInjuryFactory (15 disposals/10 marks), Smoooothy (16 disposals/6 marks/2 goals) & Piggy Smalls (3 goals).
