Official Team Thread The Fighting Furies - There is Nothing a Motivated Dumpster Dweller Cannot Accomplish

[James Colorado]

The Fighting Furies returned to the pinnacle of the Sweet FA in a big way in Season 39. Despite the heartbreak of falling short at the Grand Final, there was much to celebrate. Our first finals wins since Season 32. Three All-SFA representatives (serial_thrilla, TRUMAN#1, and James Colorado). The Deestroy Medallist in TRUMAN#1, who also led the league for Hit-Outs. And some impressive results in the Season 39 Beez Trophy, with serial_thrilla finishing 12th, ShaunDuggan and TRUMAN#1 just outside the Top-20 at 22nd and 26th respectively, and James Colorado proving that joke votes shouldn't be taken seriously, by finishing 4th.

Yet despite these achievements, qooty is a team game and the Fighting Furies are committed to team success in Season 40. After a season in which the LEADERSHIP potential in pretty much the whole list was identified, while we have (for the moment) reverted to a more conventional leadership group for Season 40, the input of everyone of our leaders is valued.

Even though Season 39 may have ended with the sort of disappointment our partners (well, the three people here who actually have one) are all too familiar with and try to tell us about if only we would just put the ****ing controller down and LISTEN!! there is one cure for heartbreak, one thing that makes everything all right with the world again, one thing that makes us throb with excitement, and it is the following:

James Colorado you can't go posting stuff like the Furies squad for S40 without giving everyone a chance to grab some PPE Equipment.

It’s nice to see the Furies with an almost full list. Is there some quality concerns? Well most certainly, but numbers are numbers in this business!

We've got one spot spare in case a certain someone decides to make the plunge.

Bit of a slow week, but to be expected, it's round 1.

Decent numbers to build in, much like my 7 goal showing.

That's a wonderful season summary and squad you have James Colorado but I humbly suggest MOAR leadership (read captains) to attain the ultimate prize (no, not a Domino's voucher code silly, the SFA Qremiership).

You're right, I suppose a Domino's voucher is out of reach for the average SFAer, and we should focus on something more attainable.

Season 40, Round 1: Dragons FFC (13.18.96) d Fighting Furies (12.4.76), at Ljp86's Lair.

Official Match Thread - Season 40, Round 1: Dragons FFC vs Fighting Furies at Ljp86's Lair

To kick off this momentous anniversary season of the Sweet FA, we here at #PhenoMedia would like to celebrate this anniversary by making all the OPs of Round 1 throwbacks to previous Match Threads and Media pieces made by us. This game's throwback is to Season 37: PhenyomenyawV2...

www.bigfooty.com

The Furies' quest to go one better in Season 40 began well, if the the game had ended at half-time. After a positive start, aided by accurate goal kicking, certain defensive deficiencies were exposed by the home team in the second half, whose victory would have been greater had they been accurate themselves.

In a strange tactical play, TRUMAN#1, the hit-outs leader for S39, was actually taken out of the ruck and told by the coaches to focus on his around the ground work. While there were 15 disposals, 1 mark, and 1 tackle (with 1 behind), moving the competition's premier centre bounce ruck after only the 1 hit-out may not have been the inspired move the coaching boax thought it might have been. On the other hand, club legend rfctigerarmy was able to come off the bench to prove his value as a ruckman, earning 10 hit-outs to go with his 15 disposals and 2 tackles. The Furies' midfielders in NaturalDisaster (21 disposals, 4 tackles, and a goal) and the returning Greenery (22 disposals, 5 tackles, 1 goal 1 behind) were busy all day, with centreman Pickitt (19 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle) assisting with feeding the outside runners in crazywildhorse (17 disposals, 6 marks) and Orange crush (15 disposals, 4 marks, 2 tackles). From the bench, Sab22 (3 disposals, 1 mark) was quiet, though employed running patterns to open congestion for his teammates to work in.

Up forward, ShaunDuggan relished the opportunity to return to his former spearhead role, kicking 7 straight from his 8 kicks (3 marks, 2 handballs), though the small forwards in SplintWhisky (2 kicks, 1 mark) and Rioli8217 (1 kick, 1 tackle, 1 goal) struggled to get involved in the first game of the new season. Supersuns (13 disposals, 1 mark) provided a bullocking presence at CHF, though the funnel his style of play tries to create to allow the flankers room to operate behind as he leads was not as successful on this occasion as it was last season, with Frothies Mcveigh (10 disposals, 4 marks, 1 behind) and Grockadoc (7 disposals, 3 marks, 1 goal 1 behind) not utilising the opened space as well as they have previously.

In defence, Toump Ass kept the Dragons' FF to only 3 goals while having 14 disposals and 3 marks, though the back pockets struggled for impact, with Bastyy (5 disposals, 1 mark) down on numbers and Edmund hunt needing to run the length of the field to hit the scoreboard for a goal with his solitary disposal of the game. Chronz slotted ably into the ket CHF slot (16 disposals, 2 marks) to prevent the Dragons' forward entries from taking a worse toll on the scoreboard, and omgfridge (22 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle) was very busy off the flank. Of course, James Colorado's 18 disposals and 5 marks were all earned under no pressure and tended to help the opposition more than his own team, continuing the "inspirational leadership" he has become renowned for.

As long as the coaching box can learn from it's **** ups, ill give them the benifit of the doubt this time.

 

[James Colorado]

As long as the coaching box can learn from it's **** ups, ill give them the benifit of the doubt this time.

That really was a colossal tactical blunder, should be a bit of pressure on the Furies' coaching staff.

It's evident that all the LEADERSHIP is on the ground!
