BOG.

3 Mobbs Medal votes surely??

 

[U2tigers]

Well that sucks.

Well done Dragons.


Thanks for the week. The Banter had to be a bit stronger then usual..... now I can move on to just disliking you.


Good luck for the rest of the Season.


serial_thrilla I am going to beat the s**t out of you tonight.


In all seriousness, I really enjoyed the week and it was all in fun. Both teams gave as good as they got.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

the Wooden Spoon is our next best medal, we've pretty much got at least one of everything else!

Sometimes you need to go backwards before you go forwards. At least we'll get a good draft pick if we do win that spoon!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Tigerturbulance is waiting for us in the dressing room gulp!

Not sure who did more after this post, but enjoyed seeing my tips paying off

Hopefully the Gold City Royals lost. If there's one team i want us to finish in front of it's them!

Alrighty, guess we're ditching the pre-game meal if we perform better without it.

You rookies need to go and buy the Best Selling book

So many things you can do with them.

I am sure a few of us older players can post on the best uses for wooden Spoons.

For example - I used to do this to keep my kids out of my Liquor Cabinet.

Thanks for the week boys (and girls) (should you change to the ophidian old miscellany?)

My mere presence has started the resurgence. Onwards and upwards my scaley brethren.

(Aka, I did bigger all on field)
