What an atrocious non-contribution. People like you have caused the decline of the league, the moderators ought to start doing something about this.

In the beginning, there was Mobbs - then other people got involved and it was all downhill from there....

Well we all know who mods around here. The rookie bully himself.

One day they'll do something about something.... But should form a committee about something to do about doing something?

How're the Bombers? Tell them I send hugs.

Heck yeah!! One of my favourite grounds.
Some history for anyone interested:




"Where in blazes?!?!" you say? Well, let's explore!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh the countryside.
The rich, clear air. The open, inviting landscapes. The smell of the horses @Mobbs couldn't be arsed moving off the pitch. It calls to the soul.
But what is the story behind this dilapidated ground?? Why is so little known about its past? Gather close and hear the fables.

Once the domain of the short-lived Koalas, who blessed the competition simply for Season 6, this ground was fatefully left dormant after mysterious unfoldings occurred to conclude their season and tenure in the Sweet F.A. Sitting just inside the 8 with a 10-11 record, yet sporting the second highest percentage in the League, the Koalas were eager to assert themselves in their final round match against the Dragons. Now, anyone who has followed @rota69's dusty walking track up to Outback Arena would likely have explored the player races just next to the small grandstand. As a fledgling organisation, this was a cramped little housing in which to fit two teams, and merely a steel grill separated whichever two sides were playing on the day. Now, a monstrous win for the Dragons would see them displace the Koalas in the finals, and they were champing at the bit! Stifled accounts tell of acid being hurled between the two cohorts, and ravenous berating and rattling at the cage persisted until the sides finally took to the field. Let's have a listen to some of the unheavenly abuse.


Yep, it was a brutal, unrestrained competition back in the day, and what followed may well have been the most savage display of qootball that broader Sweet has ever seen. With two hotheads like @Pie 4 Life and @Frankston Rover going head-to-head, it wasn't long until things started boiling over.


This caused an eruption. Chaos descended as players used anything at their disposal to maim their rivals- chairs, branches and snapped goalposts all employed in the mighty tussle.

Eventually the Dragons prevailed narrowly, leaving much of the Koalas side in a sorry state. In fact many Koalas perished in this brawl and they limped in to finals with what few players remained and got canned by the Roys. Evidence of the mass grave and memorial can be seen a the pocket of the Southern end, and some new foliage has sprouted in the wake of the arboreal assaults. And so that was the end of the Koalas- killed by Eucalyptus, the irony of it all.

In what seems a curious decision by the current League Administrator, the first match of qooty to be played since occurs this Heritage Round. Is this a disrespectful exhibition? What can we expect from the two sides at the remote paddock? How will Franky deal with a return to the site of so much pain? What will the presence of horses have on @TJASTA's game? Tickets are selling swiftly so make sure to get in quick to secure a spot for this historic bout.
 
If he'd already created the heavens at the same time as the earth, why did he have to add light later?
"Why did God say, ‘Let there be light,’ during creation?"

On the first day of creation, God said, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3), and light appeared as a thing separate from darkness. The phrase let there be light could be confusing to some modern English speakers who are used to using the word let in the context of permission, as in “Let me out of this box” or “Let me have the last cookie.” Some might wonder whom is God speaking to. Was there some cosmic jailer who was keeping the light under lock and key?

The phrase let there be light is a translation of the Hebrew phrase yehi ˈor, which was translated “fiat lux” in Latin. A literal translation would be a command, something like “Light, exist.” God is speaking into the void and commanding light to come into being. The Bible tells us that God created the heavens and the earth and everything else that exists by simply speaking them into existence (Genesis 1). His personality, power, creativity, and beauty were expressed in creation the same way an artist’s personality and personal attributes are expressed through art or music. The idea of light, existing first in God’s mind, was given form by the words “Let there be light” or “Let light exist.”
