Official Match Thread Season 26, Round 14: Dragons FFC vs Baghdad Bombers at Dragon Island

[PhenomenalV1]

It's Video Game Round! With PAX Aus this weekend, what better way for the SFA to join in than with a themed week?

C'mon, Cloud_ said I could do this...


It's a must win match for both sides.

The Dragons are stuck in ninth, with a 6-7 record. While their percentage is not exactly in good shape, they have the momentum of kocking over two top eight sides in a row. Can they keep it up again this week and break into the eight?

The Bombers have had a quiet season by their standards, hovering close to the bottom of the ladder, with each game from now on being a do-or-die affair. Will KohPhi rally the squad to an unlikely finals berth?

One teams season will be all but over come Sunday evening...


VG Week Mascot Origins

Dragons: Unsurprisingly, the Dragons mascot is Spyro, from the Spyro the Dragon series of platforming games. Spyro hangs around with his firefly pal Sparx, and has starred in several reboots of his own series, including crossovers with Crash Bandicoot.

Bombers: The Bombers mascot is Bomberman, from the Bomberman series of action puzzle games. True to his name, Bomberman lobs bombs into brick walls to solve all his problems. He once had a crossover with Wario.



PhenomBet Odds

Dragons FFC: $1.85
Baghdad Bombers: $2.15



Players to Watch

Dragons

WFL

The angriest man in the SFA, WFL has RFLD some feathers with his constant short temper and continuous boasting about haters. One of the Dragons best midfielders, will he get 40 disposals on Sunday?

VSTone

A quiet achiever, VSTone has been a pillar of the Dragons side. While his posting might be scarce, he's a sure fire favourite for the Ljp86 award. Will he live up to expectations again?



Bombers

BEEG

The Bombers full forward has show tremendous improvement in his goalkicking in Season 26. Gunning for his second striaght dougthelegend Medal, can he snare an unlikely Fred Medal as well?

Cheval

The SFA's agony aunt, Cheval must either be regretting her choice to leave the finals contending Rats, or thankful that her style of banter fits the Bombers well. Can she add to her on field accolades?


Phenoms tip: Dragons easily.


Captains, please post your official teamsheet by 11:59pm AEDT Thursday.

WTF is PAX?
I thoght Spyro was that old Greek guy at the fruit shop?

Is " joy stick" just an euphemism for utensil?

It is a huge game for the Bombers though Hatchy so Im sorry mate that trumps your big game for the Dragons.
Eat up and save your strength because we are also breathing fire at present.

Be careful where you aim...

 

[VSTone]

Still playing your Qooty with a spare at the back I see. Will be a good week for the Dragons to pass the parcel around and then bomb from range. Or alternatively use our precision foot skills to spot up PhenomenalV1 on the lead.
