Last Week

The Furies got off to a fast start against the Demons kicking five goals to one in the first term before the Demons kicked five of their own in the second term. The Furies held a 13-point lead heading into the last change but the Demons were too good in the end, winning by 19 points and earning a week off. The Furies, meanwhile, are staring down the barrel of a second successive straight sets exit.

The Dragons entered the finals from seventh, the same place they started last season when they won the flag. A huge 11-goal term led by three goals to HawkAussie saw the Dragons run away comfortable winners against the Hawks by 64 points. Hatchy1992 kicked six goals while Knifey Spoony collected 33 disposals to kick off of their finals campaign in style.


S29 Meetings

The Furies and Dragons met once in season 29, in a low scoring affair at rfctigerarmy’s Hippodrome in Round 7. The Furies kicked six goals in the second quarter that day but stalled after half time, kicking just two goals in the third quarter and two behinds in the final term. The Dragons struggled all day, kicking just seven goals, and the Furies won by 14 points. Hate collected 16 disposals and three goals and Wacky Tiger picked up 22 disposals and a goal for the Furies while not a single Dragons player touched the ball 15 times.

The captains say...

Tigerturbulance


"The Demons are the team we just don't seem to be able to beat. We owned the game and lead every quarter until the last few minutes, the ones that count. The Half Back was unconscious from hitting the goon early and not realising it was a late 4:30 game. We just sat him on a chair in the qoal square and hoped for the best. That makes 4 losses in a row for the Furies, time to get serious. I will be increasing the steam dim sim rations, goon issue and reducing lap dances at kittens. Neds right when he says women make your legs weak.

Dragons have got nothing, I will be taking Turbos Hot Seat out in the middle of the ground which means their captain Ace Pandy will be a no-show and the team will collapse. The dragons will be a training game for us where we can practise a few things before we play a real team the week after."

AceAndy

"Great to get back in winning form at the right time of the season. It would have been disappointing to lose today as it would have been a loss in six of our last seven games so in a sense we were due today. Certainly our big game players really stepped up today and Knifey Spoony , HawkAussie and A Swallow all played their best games of the season just when we needed it. Hatchy1992 was fantastic today and you cant ask for anymore than six goals in six kicks. A couple of other September specialists (perhaps I should say finals specialists) in Ljp86 , Pie 4 Life and fumbler are also looking in pretty good form as well.

There is a definitely a sense of déjà vu around the club at the moment in that last year we finished seventh on the back of a disappointing last three games and then came out with a strong victory against the Royals in the first finals match in a game not dissimilar to today.

Very confident we will get the job against the Furies who are notorious finals chokers and we are already planning for our match against the Rats in a fortnights time.

Back to back premierships for the Dragons is looking good."

Ok Dragons, last week was just a warm up, road to the grand final starts now. Let's get this show on the road!

 
It is already the finals

Clearly you didn't pay attention to the results over the weekend.

Also, just realised I wrote finals, not grand final.
