Official Match Thread Season 40, First Elimination Final: Roys FFC versus Sin City Swamprats at Brunswick Junction Oval

[Falconista]

An elimination final beckons between two teams who this season have well and truly ridden the waves of the sim. After bundling out of season 39, the Roys start to season 40 was little better, however the club roared home and came mighty close to finishing fourth. The Swamprats meanwhile were almost the mirror image, starting strongly and stumbling into finals in a season where there was a significant gap between the eight and the cray bait. Who wins their first final in three seasons?

[SweetD]

OK now we actually gotta get our shit together, for real this time. I mean it!

 

[sportsmaniac89]

Good morning Roys.

It’s a pleasure to travel to Brunswick this week.

Rumour has it, we don’t have any milestones which gives us a 50% chance of a win this week

Milestone drops our chances to 0%

Anyway, this match is the GOAT Derby as we both celebrate TheGoatBaron

It’s going to be a beauty

If a Collingwood fan loses a race by the skin of his teeth, where does he finish?

How's the quality pies in town and more importantly the livestock (meaning the goat and not the other Swampies)
