Official Match Thread Season 40, Round 14 - Roys FFC vs Gold City Royals at Brunswick Junction Oval (Heritage Round)

[serial_thrilla]

​

Welcome to the Season 40 Heritage Round: a time where we can sit back and reflect upon the past 24 years of Sweet. It has come a long way since Mobbs contrived this league in his basement, before finally releasing this iteration here on BigFooty. It has evolved substantially over time, from bare-bones introductions and sim outputs in the early seasons, to something that has inspired everything from podcasts, games, friendships. and some of the most creative media one could imagine.

2,300 players have played in the league, with over 118,000 goals having been kicked, just shy of 2 million disposals effected, and an untold number of match thread pages cobbled together by the participants.

Heritage Round gives us a platform to discuss amongst ourselves the joy (and heartbreak) this league has brought us, whilst also being able to regale some of the incredible moments - both on field and off - during our respective qareers.​

Roys FFC vs. Gold City Royals



vs.



DID YOU KNOW?​

• The Roys joined the league in Season 3, with only the Demons and Wonders having been in Sweet for a longer period of time.​
• The Gold City Royals joined the league in Season 16, after dabbling with names such as the "Kings", "Rebels" and "Arrows".​
• The Roys have won three premierships, with the most recent in Season 33.​
• The Royals won their only premiership in Season 30.​
• A Roy is a gorilla.​
• The Royals have historically placed a great emphasis on a good breeding program to ensure on field success. Season 40 would suggest that they are currently in a late-stage Hapsburg-esque reign given the current state of their list.​
• The Roys have won nine of the past twelve encounters between these two clubs.​
• The Royals played the Roys in their first ever Sweet FA fixture: Uncle_Leo and NTRabbit both played in that 26 point loss.​

@Mobbs @GreyCrow @Footypie32

You forgot the fourth one on your Sweet FA Mt Rushmore.

 

[Hoop1888]

Right. Post counts don't contribute to a win or loss so that's that established. Maybe we can pray for a win.

 

[Cadsky]

Hey hey everybody.

Here's another 2 minutes I could have spent playing Minecraft.

Round 13 (sic) v the Royals.

Unfortunately we probably have to play finals as well, postponing my retirement even longer.

Hi Roys,

Did you know it costs $84 AUD for a steak and a drink in Dubai Airport?

It'd want to be better than the classic pub porterhouse. I hope you got chips with it too.
