Official Match Thread Season 22 Round 5: West Coast Wonders vs Las Vegas Bears at The Colosseum

[Van_Dyke]

West Coast Wonders vs Las Vegas Bears at The Colosseum

In what should have been MOTR, we have last year’s premiers, come up against the unbeaten Las Vegas Bears in what will be a classic encounter. The Bears have had a superb start and haven’t lost a game yet with a superb bunch of rookies coming in for them. Matera92 and Dingster have had good starts as captains, while brahj had redefined himself as a full forward. Doctor Gero and Magruder are two more who have had hot, hot starts. For the Wonders, despite some early team sheet dramas, they have rebounded to be 2 and 2 and looking to improve on that. Golumless will look to be more accurate, while haydo169 had a quiet game against the Dragons and will look to improve this week, as will ClarkeM. The Bears are slight favourites at $1.87 to the $1.96 of the Wonders, but it’ll be tight.

Golumless, ClarkeM, LicoriceAllsorts, Matera92, Dingster, team sheets by 9am Acre Time

I see you are studying up on your opponents.

You'll need to. We are the best around.

This isn't lemonade.

This isn't lemonade.

I wish it was.

It would be more pleasant.

I was going to check the ladder and tell you you're clearly not but then...

What excuse will you have for all the other days?

 

[Golumless]

What excuse will you have for all the other days?

Tuesday: Recovering from Mondays rest day.
Wednesday: Werewolf got hectic.
Thursday: Team selection night; don't want to be around when haydo169 finds out he has been relegated to the bench, purely in a vain attempt to win a BnF.
Friday: Avoiding the SFA due to mishap, and GifFriday^TM.
Saturday: Not posting to pretend that my life is actually busy.
Sunday: Game day, and want to give a "too cool for this league" vibe by not posting during it. I don't need to tell you how great i am as i kick my 8th (with 13 behinds as that's the kind of forward i am...)

When next going to by kale. Ask for kale, but remember the k is silent. You will have a much better time with the result!

I guess it's ok to mention hip now that we're not playing the Roys

No chance of a fall in the shower...

335 degrees kelvin?!

I only use the best temperature measurements.

Terminator melts really easily! At relatively low temperatures.
