Official Match Thread Season 29 Round 10 - Dragons FFC vs Sin City Swamprats at Ljp86’s Lair

[AceAndy]

So who am I kicking 5 on this week?

On a first gamer this week Blaze. I am penciling you in for 7 or 8 goals.

How do you know when a woman is about to say something intelligent?

She starts her sentence with, "A man once told me......"

 

[serial_thrilla]

AFLX it is. Will also solve the issue of the ovals being used for cricket.

I think we can safely say that AFLX won't be seen again for a very, very long time.

Not sure the AFL has had a worse idea.

Fixturing games in China?

Fixturing games in China?

Close but i still think AFLX is their worst.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Close but i still think AFLX is their worst.

But think of the memes it brought us: Zooper Dooper goalposts, Supergoals, Gatorade Game Changer, Silver balls, Green screen banners that the players camouflaged into, the Deadlies, THAT draft...

And what has the China game given us? Absolutely nothing apart from a few tours of the Great Wall of China for Port supporters.

 

[Strigoi]

Rats by eight goals.

Keep dreaming...

 

[Strigoi]

That's a strong team. It's almost unfair on the Rats that they have to face it.

That's ok, they'll be recognized as having been brave warriors.
But...a loss is a loss. Dragons for the win! Woot!

 

[Strigoi]

The pest control has been booked. Dragon Island will be free of vermin infestation on Sunday afternoon when we continue with our winning streak and take our rightful spot at the summit.

 

[Strigoi]

Soooo...I'm up against Sparkle, huh?
Gonna dull that sparkle some come Sunday.
Been sharpening my elbows, too.

Strigoi = 9.2 hitouts per game.
Sparkle = 6.7 hitouts per game.
This'll be a cakewalk.

And COVID-20.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

You realise he hasn't paid you guys for years.

 

[serial_thrilla]

And COVID-20.

Let's hope there's no COVID-20. COVID-19 is enough!!

Well that was the only silverware the Crows have managed to win for a long time.

Look how happy they are.

You're not going to claim the Rampage's win with Rory Sloane?

Checked out the numbers in America tonight. Yikes - nearly 50000 dead!!!!

Sure am. Got on that bandwagon along with Lethality. Even took the next Monday off work to celebrate (actually I hated my job at the time and was chewing up sick leave before I quit).

 

[philreich]

Were he still with us, Osama bin Laden would win the Nobel Peace Prize, before Gold Coast will ever play finals.

I think you have slipped in an extra 0 in the count.

I think he means globally.

Good thing I packed an arm guard and a long sleeve jumper then

I'll give you a pre-warning though, make sure you've got mattresses on your thighs: in my fitness testing I scored 'average' for the vertical jump and I don't mind sinking my knee into the opponents fleshy upper leg

 

[Sparkle]

I remember watching that night of the AFLX, in fact the Cats played the Crows in the final match. It was one of the most 'Geelong-est' performances I've seen: we were 20 points down after about one minute of play
