After dropping the points against the high-flying Bears last week (that sounds like some sort of opioid-induced daydream ....), we have the chance to pick ourselves up against the Old Boys. Which somebody already pointed out is quite ironic. A bunch of old boys (and girls) playing the Old Boys. Anyway, it's already Wednesday (I think - can anyone confirm?) so get stuck into them. I mean it.

Another round of oh so closeness. It's the Roy way. We're either crap all year or brilliant for most of it with a serious fadeout late on. This season is a plan b season. But it's not all doom and gloom. We're still in a good spot to make an impact in finals so let's keep at it.

Alright. Next up we're ot to dethrone the Royals. not that they are on a throne. Or even have a throne. Not a real throne anyway. Throne. BUT. The league is super close this year. We're currently sitting in 6th and the Royals are next to last. But if they win, they will go above is. Yep, you heard that right. Depending on results we could jump up to 3rd or drop to second last. Wowsers.

Well this was a game alright. A proper shootout. We couldn't quite match the straightness of the Als shooting unfortunately. I can't imagine there have been many instances of Roys kicking 21 goals and not winning but we have one right here.

We're at home to the Dragons next week before having a bye in the final round of the season (WTF?? Who the hell thought that was a good idea?). As it is we're outside the eight today but a win next week will get us back in. The reality is that it will take a miracle of many other results going our way for us to make finals now. So let's make sure we give these Dragons everything we've got and end the season by at least putting their fire out. I'm going to go out and stock us up on fire extinguishers this week so I asked Google what type I should get.

Since dragons are mythical creatures with magical fire, we need to consider some unique factors. Here's a breakdown of how to approach this, blending real-world fire safety with fantasy:

Understanding the "Dragon Fire"

  • Heat Intensity: Dragon fire is likely far hotter than any conventional fire.
  • Magical Properties: It might have magical properties that make it resistant to normal extinguishing methods.
  • Fuel Source: Is it fueled by the dragon's breath, magic, or some internal substance? This will affect how to put it out.
Adapting Fire Extinguishers for Dragons

Given these factors, a standard fire extinguisher might not be sufficient. Here's a theoretical approach:

  • A Multi-Agent Extinguisher:
    • A combination of agents might work best.
    • High-Intensity Cooling: A massive amount of water or a specialized cooling agent to counteract the extreme heat.
    • Oxygen Deprivation: A foam or gas agent to cut off the fire's oxygen supply, though this might be challenging if the fire is magical.
    • Magic Neutralization: In a fantasy context, the extinguisher might need a component that can neutralize or disrupt magical energy.
  • Specialized Components:
    • Enchanted Materials: The extinguisher itself might need to be made of materials that can withstand dragon fire (e.g., a fire-resistant alloy, magically reinforced metal).
    • High-Pressure Delivery: A powerful delivery system to get the extinguishing agent to the fire source from a safe distance.
Theoretical Extinguisher Types

Here are a couple of theoretical fire extinguisher types that might work on a dragon:

  • "Dragon Chill" Extinguisher:
    • Contains a cryogenic agent (like liquid nitrogen, but perhaps a magically enhanced version) to rapidly cool the flames.
    • Also includes a dense, oxygen-displacing foam with magical properties to suppress the fire's magical energy.
  • "Wyrm Wall" Extinguisher:
    • Employs a high-pressure spray of a specialized, non-flammable substance that creates a barrier between the fire and its fuel source (the dragon's breath).
    • The substance would also have magical dampening properties.
Important Considerations (Even in Fantasy)

  • Safety First: Approaching a dragon fire is incredibly dangerous. The extinguisher would need to be deployed from a safe distance, perhaps with remote operation.
  • Environmental Impact: Consider the environmental effects of the extinguishing agent, especially if it's magical.
  • Dragon Physiology: Understanding how dragon fire works internally could lead to more effective counter-measures (e.g., targeting the organ or process that produces the fire).
In conclusion, while a standard fire extinguisher wouldn't be effective, a specialized device combining advanced cooling, oxygen deprivation, and magical neutralization might do the trick in a fantasy setting.

My cousin works in the fire suppression business so I'll see what he can get for us. Watch this space

With the Dragons this weekend, I'll be a mute again this weekend.

I'm now on two weeks long service leave. Will continue my love in here.

I'll unleash hell next week come Monday
 
And we're spent!

It was about 7 rounds ago when I said we only needed two more wins to lock in finals.

Ahahahahaha!

Oh well, there are more seasons to come!

Thanks everyone who came with us for the ride.

We'll have an awards night at some point and reload for Season 40.

Barrels Award S39, Rounds 15, 16 & 17 or something​


Welcome to the Badgefree Barrels Award! Bundled out of finals without having to even lose any sets!

I have been tardy and was holding on to the award like a petulant child which is ironic because I really am one of those.

But eventually it became clear I needed to surface and give up these three awards.

Ok Lyscau:

In Round 15 v the OOBs and comfort, the Barrels votes went like this:
Honorouable mentions to Pugsley , sabso and Irish BlueBagger
3rd place to Dingster
2nd place to kenneyswarriors
1st place and a Barrel to Robertio !

In Round 16 v the Royals and fate, the Votels Barrs went like this:
Honourable mentions to krakouers and Hoop1888
3rd place to Cadsky
2nd place to grumbleguts
1st place and a Barrel to GreyCrow !

In round 17 v the Dragons and hope, the Wentel Likes barred this vote:
3rd place shared equally between Bradesmaen and DragoDelph
2nd place to T2B_
1st place to Strigoi !

Congratulations to Robertio , GreyCrow and Strigoi on your Barrels wins!
Robertio : Barrel no2 after 1 with the Bombers in S33
GreyCrow : Barrel no6 & 2nd highest Barrel holder overall.
Strigoi : Barrel no3 but more importantly keeping overall Barrels leader T2B_ honest!

Thank you to all Barrel votegetters this season! We've had a strong representation with most clubs getting into the multiple Honourable Mentions - goes to show there's a diverse crowd out there with something for everybody's tastes! Well done Sweet FA :)

Let me help you out Dear Mobbsy. 3rd place indeed.

Robertio own a bar and only drinks Guiness. Put a line through him.

kenneyswarriors is a camel. A water bearing camel. The chud would be detrimental to his health.

I guess that leaves Ding.

You have 2 x Barrels from Seasons 27 and 37. It seems we can look forward to your next win being in Season 47.

Well, unless you wanna, like, git gud, or something like that.

This was probably some game for the neutral. It was certainly some game for DERRINALPHIL (12 hitouts, 27 disposals, 5 tackles and 4 goals) and fitzroybowiedog (33 touches, 7 tackles, and 2 goals) who were in a two-way tie for BOG. Phar Ace took 23 touches and a goal, while royboy2 had 20 and 9 tackles. _Mike_ and TheGoatBaron kicked a couple each and really there were a lot of very good individual performances but we just got overrun. Again.

The season so far

Ignoring that there was a season in our grasp and some bastard stole it from us, we made some good numbers over the season. For example:
DERRINALPHIL 3rd in the league in hitouts, 6th in frees against (dirty campaigner :D )
Phar Ace 4th in the league in kicks, 3rd in handballs, 2nd in overall disposals, 2nd in marks, 8th in frees against
SpecialBruce 1st in the league in kicks and disposals
royboy2 4th in the league in marks (special mention to fitzroybowiedog just outside the top 10 in 12th)
TheGoatBaron 7th in the league in goals, 5th in behinds

Now I know Mobbs doesn't like measuring performances with Dream Team points but nobody cares what Mobbs thinks, frankly. I think our individual stats are pretty damn good all in all.
6th fitzroybowiedog
9th Phar Ace
10th SpecialBruce
14th royboy2
15th DERRINALPHIL
64th 3KZ is Football
73rd HinkleysHeroes
79th Chezzalenko Reborn
83rd Mooch
95th JackNah_8

Next up:
Mad Monday (oh shit that was today)
Broken Medal and various other assorted awards night (at some point)
Holidays in the sun (or possibly the rain, maybe even the snow - who am I to judge?)
 
Aw, thank you, Roys! It really was a fun week. I learned a lot about your club and the gorilla and everything! Mr. Strig helped with some of that. ;) I didn’t realize the connection with the team from that other league. And it was nice to see pictures from the celebration. Perfect week with a team I didn’t know much about. 😁

Now…where are the taps for those barrels… 🤭
