I've started to get into online now and have pretty much smashed everyone I've played. I decided I'd play one more for the night just for shits and giggles. It turned out to be a huuuuuge challenge. A very low-scoring but thrilling match.

I definitely didn't have my kicking boots on, 0-3 at quarter time and 2-7 at half time. I broke out to a 10 point lead at the final break but he kicked the first. Luckily, I got back quickly. He then put on another one with about 14 minutes left on the clock.

The rest of the quarter consisted of inside 50 entrances, defensive 50 clearances, ball ups, throw ins, free kicks - every but a goal. With 5 minutes on the clock, he went forward and an arm wrestled ensued. Spoil after tackle after spoil after tackle, he decided to have a ping, a snap around the body that missed by the smallest of margins.

I figured that I just needed to wind down the clock. Chipped it short to the pocket, bombed it down the wing to a free man and then just put it over the boundary line. I locked it in at the throw in and thank buggery, the siren goes.

my first game was Port v Crows against some guy at my mate's place that hadn't played the game before either and isn't a big footy man but he destroyed me. I was getting used to the controls and didn't know how rucking worked but only managed three goals.

second game I randomly chose the Dogs and faced my Geelong supporting mate who chose Skilled as our venue and this match definitely belongs ITT. Barry Hall kicked 8 and the Dogs came out of the blocks firing, up 52-32 at half time. The Cats came back brilliantly and trailed by one point 3/4 time. At the end of the game Chapman snaps it true to put them two points ahead. Then I run the ball down to my forward line, mark inside fifty, auto play on and rush it to Baz who marks...... one second after the siren! Literally THE ending to any footy game, if only I took the set shot inside 50.
 
FranticWhistle3 - Mate we put on some rippers we really do.

Yesterday we were playing and I was in the party with him, yet we didn't know we were versing each other, I kinda was like shit this guys dominating me as he banged another and I hear him go "did you like that one Rendered?" that put me into game on haha.

Qtr 1:
He dominated me and got out to a pretty large lead I think it was like 15 points.

Qtr 2:
He extended his lead even more and I was struggling on the back foot, I needed one or two to get back in it.

Qtr 3:
I don't know how I did it, but I scavenged something from the depths of hell and dragged myself back into the game, kicking one on the siren to bring it to 11 points difference his favour.

Qtr 4:
I was pumped to make a comeback and win this game, he managed to out muscle me and kicked 2 in a row from the get-go pretty much seeling the game, but I managed to scavenge myself back into it and kick 3 in a row. I was 4 points away with about 4:32 on the clock and I bombed it long, got a mark and missed.. he kicked it out and got it down his end to kick another goal. I was spewing and kept kicking points, I was down by 8 with a minute left on the clock, I knew it was over unless I kicked a goal here, he turned around and bombed it under pressure and Jono Brown took a mark on the 50.. the siren sounded. I kicked the goal and lost by 2 points..devastated.
 
Had an absolute EPIC of a match online against a bloke called "Ayden Pirro". I was Essendon and he was the Pies. Simulating the ANZAC DAY clash. It was literally goal for goal for the first half, we both had kicked 4 goals up until half time and I lead by a point. In the third quarter he peppered the goals and kicked 1.7 to my 1.1. So he lead by a few points. Then in the last quarter I stormed out of the blocks kicking the first couple, and had an opportunity to extend my lead to 16 after Welsh marked a kick in and went on a 4 bounce run but just missed from 40 metres out. With about 6 minutes left Dawes and Davis both goaled for him. He lead by a point. I snapped a point from Davey with a 1 minute left, (so probably 20 seconds or so). So scores where tied at 7.8 50 apiece. He kicked a torpedo from the kick-in and took a hangar at half back. Played on with a couple of hand passes and bombed a kick forward. Cloke took the mark 45 out on slight angle. The siren sounded, he kicked a point. I lost by 1.......Devastating, but a great contest.

FINAL SCORE:

Collingwood (him) 7.9 51
Essendon (Me) 7.8 50
 
Played as Geelong against Hawthorn on Professional and they jumped me early. Hawks were about 4 goals up at qtr time. The 2nd and 3rd qtrs were a shoot out but I managed to claw my way back by 3 qtr time. I got out to a 2 and a bit goal lead about half way through the last. At this point I thought I was safe, until they kicked two quick goals in a row! With seconds left I managed to cling on to a 2 point win! Happy days! :footy:
 
Played my first online game before and came down to the very last kick. Xavier Ellis took a set shot from about 55 and put it straight through. Needless to say I went off.

If anyone wants to play me my PSN is Brak-Attack
 
Just played against some guy who was elwood city or something random.

Was in front the whole game, then he came back hard in the last quarter. I kept playing down the wings to waste time etc. With a minute and a half left he brings it back to within 2 points, and then with about 14 seconds to go he takes some huge hanger and kicks the goal to win.

:(

Ahhh just had my first draw. I couldn't believe it. Just kept getting random goals from bombing it long and my defender missing it/being out of position!

Was down by 21 at 3 qtr time and I vowed to smash my controller into the TV if I lost, Kicked the first 3 with 8 minutes to go, then a couple of rushed on the line and a miss.

Really shit me to tears, turns out it was the guys first or second game. Only had 600~ Xp

Hit the post 2 times. Final score was Me - 6.9 Him- 7.3. Straight kicking really pays off. Iside 50's were something like 34-17 in my favour. I just can't seem to capitalise often enough.

Oops, meant 6.9 :thumbsu:

Also to add to that. Free kick count at half time was 0-8 in his favour. Ended up like 3-13. That was one of the most frustrating parts!

Best. ****ing. Comeback. Ever.

Playing against yet another Fremantle noob bitch, who can only play the game when Sandilands punches everything and marks every kick out.

He's beating me the whole game, I'm struggling to get a clearance, it's all pants basically.

Down by 28 at 3 quarter time.

Went ballistic in the last quarter, Kerr got ten touches or something. Kennedy kicks one, then Darling, then Le Cras kicks two, as well as two rushed behinds scattered in there.

2 minutes to go, Shuey shrugs one off, handball to Darling, snaps from 35, buries it. Up by 4.

They clear it, but a punch from Glass and a soccer from Hurn gets to the siren, and I've won it. You better believe I went ape shit.

32 points to nothing in the last quarter to win by 4.
 
Had my best online game today. Scores as follows (my score first):

Qtr time: 0.2.2 to 3.1.19
Half time: 2.3.15 to 6.1.37
3Qtr time: 5.4.34 to 8.1.49
Full time: 8.5.53 to 8.2.50

Was the best win ever!! Took the lead with something like 3 minutes left and was literally full of excitement when the siren went! :D

Didn't get the guys PSN name, but if you're out there, would love another game!
 
Had 3 good ones against HBK last night.

First one I was Geelong he was Adelaide, scores level with about 7 minutes to go but I kicked the last 2 and won by 13.

Second game, I was Essendon he was Richmond, he got out to around a 20 point lead in the 2nd or 3rd quarter, but I kept coming, then we went goal for goal with interchanging lead in the last. I got in front with a goal with 2 minutes left, then he got it down the other end and Troy Taylor had a shot after the siren from 50 out on a fairly tough angle, and slotted it :(

Third game, I was Geelong and he was Freo, think I was about a goal up for most of the game but it was very very tight, again I hit the lead with not long left, up by 4 points after kicking a point. He runs it from end to end but I get a good spoil, cleared to the defensive 50. Then he gets possession and kicks it to the square where a player marked just as the siren went. Appeared to take the mark just before the siren, but it wasn't paid. I'm not complaining :D


Great contests though, very nerve-racking.
 
I was playing some guy last night who had just got home from work and he's a machine driver, I got out to a 25 point lead at one stage, he fought it back and hit the lead by 2 with 3 minutes to go. A freekick for a high tackle was called, went my way, 1 minute left I bombed it long and got a mark outside the 50, I was trying to spot up a lead.. there weren't any. Wasn't in goal kicking range either so I bombed it to the square, he spoiled it and that was that. Game stolen in last 3 minutes, so angry!
