Media Dragons add three more signings

Dragons recruit three more players to squad list

By Caroline Wilson


Southern Dragons have capped off a strong recruiting period in the off season, swelling its squad list by three with the additions of akkaps, new player @B Tron and returning player Deddy, who joins the club after a short break from the SFA. The signings by the Dragons have well and truly offset the departures the club suffered after the completion of season 16 which saw several outsiders criticise the club's leadership and its alleged lack of direction. Those fears have been put to bed quickly with the signatures of all three players coming within a few days of each other.

Akkaps comes to the club after stint with Gold City Royals where he was a contributor to the club's statistical information, a role which he will also take up at Dragon Island. Akkaps acknowledged he was new to the club but was prepared to work hard in order to be a solid contributor at the Dragons. Akkaps said, "I'm going to be one of the new guys at the Dragons but I am prepared to work hard at the club and do my best to contribute in order for the Dragons to move in the right direction and so that I can get to where I want to be. I'm not afraid of doing the hard yards and I intend to do that so I can help the Dragons move back up the ladder."

B Tron is a new player to the SFA and comes to the competition as a highly touted youngster, some of whom believe he is capable of winning the EKA medal. After a pretty good junior career and impressing at the Dragons academy, B Tron has won a spot on the list and doesn't intend to let the club down. He is also good mates with The Filth Wizard who played a large role in getting B Tron to the Dragons after impressing the club's recruiting department.

The Dragons' final and most impressive addition is that of Deddy who returns to the SFA after a break from the competition. The former Demon was highly sought after by several clubs but confessed that the Dragons' offer was clearly better than the rest. "It was tough decision but the Dragons' offer was just too good to refuse." said Deddy who was dressed in his new Dragons polo. "I'm excited for next season and onwards, things are really looking up at Dragon Island and I'm happy to be a part of the club here".

Southern Dragons co-captain Ljp86 also expressed his thoughts with the new additions to the playing group, "Yeah we're pretty happy getting akkaps, B Tron and Deddy to the club. The leadership group saw that Deddy had become available and we picked up on that straight away and go in touch with his management. In the end we got the deal done pretty quickly and we're very glad to have him down at the club for this coming season." The skipper also spoke about the singing of akkaps and also B Tron. "Akkaps is an up and coming star and we have high hopes for him this season. He will also be helping out the club in an administration role too and will be taking up a statistics position at the club in season 17. B Tron is a new player to the club and the SFA but he is a young gun and has impressed well at the academy and also in the junior ranks. We rate him highly and he will no doubt be a solid contributor at the club this season."

In other Dragons news, the Southern Dragons may not be known by that name for much longer with the club considering a name change for season 17. The club has expressed a desire to change its logo and club jumpers for the new season but little is known at this stage as to whether the changes will go ahead.

Loving the signings, can't wait to team up with Deddy again <3

In a related story, Ljp and boncer will be charged in a Gold City court for shoplifting.

Deddy I know you want to be like me, but even by my standards your turncoat ability is impressive.

Great Hitler video in the Royals Press Conference thread by the way. I'm impressed.

You're already the best and only poster at the Dragons.

 

[okeydoke7]

Oh and cry cry cry how dare the Dragons poach three Royals players cry cry cry etc.

Take your bullshit somewhere else, this is about the Dragons and the three players we've signed.

This isn't about you and some petty argument you're having with another poster, one whom we just happened to have signed.

If you want my bullshit somewhere else then post this crap in your team thread where it belongs.

Go public with the only thing you have done as a captain in 6 seasons and expect a public comment back. A comment that was quite complimentary towards Deddy, by the way.

Haha oh please, so my thread isn't worthy enough yet your continual threads are? Do yourself a favour and take your head out of your arse.

Blah blah blah, it's the same shit with you every single time. Same bullshit, same exaggerations, same attacks. You're becoming quite stale.

You're absolutely within your rights to post the thread. Your expectancy that because the thread is about the Dragons only a positive response shall occur is absurd. If you wanted that, you should've announced the signings in the Dragons thread. Pretty simple really, even for a bit part poster like yourself.

I've made some bad threads in my time i'm sure. But given i've been voted by the SFA public as best media performer two seasons running, I think its time for the worst captain in the league to pull his head out of his arse.

It's sad to watch you post at the moment. Back in the day you had the intimidation factor and were quite a revered poster. When you were a decent poster, you could get away with the constant "attack" mode. You can't anymore, but you know no other way.

If you want to post negative comments that's fine. But I don't really appreciate you turning this thread into an Okey vs Deddy comparison from the fourth post.

Your media threads are very good and they are generally a pretty good read. It's no surprise you've been voted the best media performer twice because you're the only person that makes such threads on a regular basis.

It's sad to watch you post at the moment. Back in the day you had the intimidation factor and were quite a revered poster. When you were a decent poster, you could get away with the constant "attack" mode. You can't anymore, but you know no other way.

The saddest thing is watching you turn into an arrogant individual. Confidence and arrogance can be good provided you don't overdo it and have the performances to back it up. Personally I think you've gone quite overboard of late but that is just my opinion.

Unfortunately for me, those times of me being able to be on here and have attack mode on constantly have reduced as I've finished uni and have now worked full time for close to three years. That may seem like an old excuse but it is the truth and there are many others on here who have experienced that and will say the same thing. It would be a different story if I could sit on BF all day and post but I cannot do that at my workplace.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

I don't need Reardo to tell me things escalated quickly.

Despite that little exchange, the additions of Snappy!, Deddy and akkaps, in addition to our previous signing HARPSichord and our new rookie B Tron (untaggable, both on the field and on BF) shows the Dragons mean business after losing some of our quality posters early and the disappointment of Tarks backflipping after agreeing terms. We have strengthened in key areas with smart and witty contributors, added a brilliant statistician in akkaps and given ourselves an EKA favourite with B Tron, mark my words.

Alongside our coming image change, the Dragons mean business in S17. We are as strong as we could possibly be and it's an exciting time down on the Island.

I'd wish those former Royals luck but I'm unsure that's an acceptable topic either by your standards so instead I'll just quote Okey who pretty much covers everything

I leave the club and everyone else wants to jump on board, including 3 Royals players since I signed with that club.

I use deodorant, I shower on a regular basis and I never steal from open and unmanned lockers, yet I seem to have become a massive enigma somehow.

I shall disguise myself in future, before and after every training session, right up until game time.

On a serious note it's a credit to the Dragons superiors for their proactive approach after some negative responses about the caliber of the club at the conclusion of season 16.

pantskyle was asking the league heavyweights to be critical of my departure in much the same manner as they were for his exit from the Roys. It fell on deaf ears because I always had full faith the Dragons were heading in the right direction, and now it's been vindicated.

Some excellent additions, well done.


To akkaps, sad to see you leave the Royals mate, I wish you all the best.

 

[Easty]

Fair to say I'm disappointed in akkaps decision but it's now 3 seasons, 3 different clubs - should've seen it coming.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

So what you're saying is, Snappy! IS a very effective mentor

 

[akkaps]

Fair to say I'm disappointed in akkaps decision but it's now 3 seasons, 3 different clubs - should've seen it coming.

Easty, you did realize that you are the only one remaining out of the five original members, three have gone to the Dragons and one to the Furies.

So what you're saying is, Snappy! IS a very effective mentor

Oh, well, this would be one of those circumstances that people unfamiliar with the law of large numbers would call a coincidence.

 

[Easty]

Easty, you did realize that you are the only one remaining out of the five original members, three have gone to the Dragons and one to the Furies.

Yeah, but the rest have demonstrated an ability to stay at a different club for longer than a season. I look forward to seeing you in the Gumbies two blues in S18.

p.s. We appreciate the free advertising, but you should probably change your signature.

 

[akkaps]

p.s. We appreciate the free advertising, but you should probably change your signature.

I have no clue what you are talking about?

 

[Deddy]

Fair to say I'm disappointed in akkaps decision but it's now 3 seasons, 3 different clubs - should've seen it coming.

I've done practically the same 3 and a half seasons with 3 different clubs.

I don't see why some people believe that you are obligated to be loyal in a game of fantasy footy. People change teams all the time, you have changed teams too. Don't take a potshot at akkaps just because he left the Royals, Easty. Come on mate you're better than that.

 

[Easty]

There is no obligation - but there is integrity in commitment and loyalty to a club for a least more than a single season.

That's what I'm questioning here - his (and yours now too) integrity.

 

[Deddy]

That's what I'm questioning here - his (and yours now too) integrity.

Integrity on an internet forum? That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.

If you're not having fun at a club (isn't the point of this fantasy league to have fun) you have the option to leave. That's how the league has worked and always will work. You left the Dragons because you wanted to be captain and Ljp wouldn't step aside, where's the integrity in that?

 

[PVF]

Probably shouldn't have recruited okeydoke7 then.

 

[fumbler]

The irony of dissapoint in you is astounding.

Wow looks like you turning up at the Royals has led to four of the original 5 leaving the club they helped start.
What a ****ing shame that Easty went about it all wrong............... *@Uncle_Leo

Good luck to Hawk Patrol Deddy and akkaps at your new home, The Filth Wizard almost had a quartet of Royal Challengers in his palm.






*pinged for a glorious response.

 

[GarnerSmash]

Sounds like there's some prissy little bitches running around for some other teams.

Looking forward to giving my pointy elbows a workout this season.

Go Dragons.

I take pride in guiding the youngsters at the start of their careers, and then into the arms of as many suitors as they like. One thing I do stress though is the use of protection, because as this thread has shown, crabs can attack you at any time.
