Official Bye Thread Season 41 Round 6: Dragons FFC vs The Bye FFC

[sabso]

vs

Welcome to Season 41, Round 6 of the Sweet FA, brought to you by Sweet FA+.

Loyalty is a word often scoffed at, however it is the essence of what it means to belong to a Qooty Club.

The value of loyalty is that it strengthens the bond between teammates, fosters character and makes players into heroes in the eyes of the fans. The value you bring to your club increases the value of the club tenfold, and perpetuates the viability of the league. You have the opportunity to create a legacy in the annals of your club that mere journeymen could never accomplish. It is no small thing that the record appearance maker for all 13 league members is still on that club’s list.

So let us discuss the merits of each team by measuring the contribution their playing collective has brought to their club so far. We will look at a team by team overview, highlight standout players to watch and predict the score at the final siren according to the numbers from both teams’ current list.

Dragons FFC

A solid unit, firm and unchanging, the Dragons’ list boasts an impressive 178 club games per player, with 18 centurions. These players know how to find each other on a qooty field and restrict the opposition’s scoring chances as much as they can. Picking up a trend among recent flag winners the Dragons prefer to let the qooty do the talking.

The Bye FFC

This club is a paradox – they are unbeaten in every game yet have never won a grand final. They have both the most and least loyal list of them all but their play style leaves something to be desired. Like anything at all. Their stats would skew every other team’s as well as their own so they are excluded from the analysis through no fault and all the fault of their own. They do have a banger of a club song though.



H2H record

DRA 0-0-0 BYE

Somehow there seems to be no sign of The Bye FFC in Sweet FA+’s records.

Last meeting

Dragons FFC were last fixtured against the Bye in season 40, round 15; however the Bye failed to turn up, possibly in an attempt to intimidate their opponents, possibly because they were busy playing ten other teams at the same time. The Dragons refused to back down, though, romping to a perfect finals series in the weeks following.

Players to watch

DRA – Ljp86. The Bowser of BigFooty remains hard to ignore as the most-experienced Sweet FA player of all time. He has dedicated a mind-boggling 604 appearances to the reborn Dragons after three seasons in their previous incarnation, earning a scarcely-credible 36105 DT points in total.

BYE – NULL

Score prediction (based on average goals + behinds per game)

DRA 14.9.93 ?? BYE ??.??.??

Captains, it’s your week off. Enjoy the Bye thread with your respective teams.

Good to see you, Phillip. We need a Ljp86 motivational speech.

Without it, I can't see them triumphing over the bye.

You will never find that out

 

[sabso]

I think we need an honest assessment of how the thread is going. Headless ?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Do the byes have any injuries? Think they might win

 

[PMBangers]

Howdy Bye FFC team, I hope you're ready for a beat down

Probably a better chance than the Warriors

 

[philreich]

Probably a better chance than the Warriors

I'm starting to think that St. Kilda might win a flag before the Warriors .

Are you tired of just Qooty and Qricket dominating the sporting landscape of Sweet?

Do you think that Monday match threads aren't enough, and we should have new matches every day, actually?

Are you such a big control freak that you want to drag a bunch of your "friends" into another sport against their will?

Do you miss having SFAEW (and by extension PhenomenalV1) around as a weekly fixture of the media landscape?


Then do I have a proposal for you!




Following a successful trial exhibition series, the Sweet Basketball Association is now accepting expanion bids for a full competition!


What do you need to do to file a bid?

It's simple: gather a team of 8 posters, create a team identity and PM PhenomenalV1 with your starting 5 and 3 bench players, team name/colours/logo, and cross your fingers when it comes down to awarding the licenses. Or post your bid in the main SBA thread, either works.

This offer is not yet open to posters who already played in the exhibition series. We're trying to get numbers up before we start cutting people from the two existing teams.


Alternatively, head to the Sweet BA thread in the Club Room, and use the template there to enter yourself into the SBA draft pool.
