Dragons FFC 19.6 (120) defeated Coney Island Warriors 15.8 (98) by GremioPower

It was cloudy and windy at Ljp86’s Lair, home of the Dragons, for the entire game. The homers were able to take advantage of the conditions and are still undefeated in S30, while the visitors have only their lack of accuracy in the first quarter to blame for their first loss in the season.

The Warriors started with the wind in their favor. However, the Dragons managed to hold them. Midway Q1, and the game looked as if it would be a really low-score affair. (DRA 0-7 CIW) Then, three quick goals put the home side on top. (DRA 18-7 CIW) It was only what the Dragons would do for the rest of the period. Coney Island took back control of the action and pushed the homers towards the goal. However, they could only score behinds – 4 in a row. NaturalDisaster kicked a goal after siren, making the score a bit better for the visitors. (DRA 18-17 CIW)

The Warriors made it six scores in a row when their FF kicked a major at the beginning of Q2; which put them ahead on the scoreboard (DRA 18-23 CIW) Still, the wind was favoring the home team; and they made it count. They would be leading 10’ in in Q2, if not for a “handy goal” from harry000, which kept Coney Island on top. (DRA 25-29 CIW) This soon was erased. The Dragons scored the last 4 majors of the quarter, reaching HT with a 19-point lead. (DRA 49-30 CIW)

Q3 was practically a reenactment of Q1. The Warriors, with the wind on their backs, started better than the Dragons. Randomizor goaled twice, cutting the difference to 1 goal. (DRA 49-43 CIW) Once again, however, they couldn’t hold momentum. The midsection of the quarter belonged to the home side, who scored four times (2.2) against a sole major by the visitors. (DRA 63-49 CIW) The main difference to the first period is that Coney Island managed to kick straight. They scored 4 goals against one of the homers, getting into 3QT with a small lead (DRA 70-73 CIW)

The Dragons knew that the game was ripe for them to harvest. The visitors managed to hold their lead for 6 minutes. After that, the home side simply ran over them mercilessly. In 10 minutes, the Dragons scored 5 unanswered goals, putting the game away for good. (DRA 106-80 CIW) The locals, then, entered into cruising control. The Warriors did not give up, but they couldn’t finish the game strong to pull a comeback. The Dragons, lead by serial_thrilla, a sophomore, and Bradesmaen, a rookie, ultimately were the better side and won comfortably. (DRA 120-98 CIW)

East Side Hawks 18.18 (126) defeated Baghdad Bombers 12.9 (81) by Proper Gander

Both teams came into the match off a loss, and both began with a grim determination to show their opponents some steel. With a hefty 92 pages of posting during the lead up, the question in everyone's head was who would prevail and who would fail?

Warm conditions suited the Hawks and PMBangers who took first opportunity to bang it on the boot for a goal. Nothing came easily for either team after that... both adding no less than 3 behinds apiece before TY24 broke the drought with another for the Hawks. The first quarter saw 4 individual goal-kickers for the Hawks, with Kilroy the only major for the Bombers. A very strong first half in the ruck by The Jesus saw the Hawks get comfortable, their midfield had it on a platter and moved the ball with urgency. Only inaccurate goal kicking prevented a blow-out at this point, the half time score saw the Hawks on 8.11.59 and Bombers on 4.7.31.

The third quarter saw the Jesus add another quality goal to his tally of two. miggs, Antonio BlueVein and Pugsley booted one apiece to keep the Bombers in it, but the Hawks had settled in for some champagne football - forwards sharing it around to go into the fourth quarter more than comfortable 31-point lead. But the fourth saw more of the same; while miggs and MITS showed some polish, it was otherwise qooty chaos from the uncoordinated bombers who failed to trouble the Hawks defenders in any meaningful way.

Fighting Furies 21.11 (137) defeated Sin City Swamprats 15.10 (100) by Mooch

Round 2. Coming off a hard fought win over the Bombers in round 1, the Furies were buoyed with a level of confidence not seen since the heady days of (checks notes)... moving on. While the Rats had started their premiership defence with a shock loss at the hands of the Royals - at home. Surely they will come out all guns blazing in this game?

This game was one for the ages. It was a fast, high possession, high risk game by both sides, resulting in lots of goals and crazy Dream Team scores. The Rats got out of the blocks early,, with first quarter multiple goals to Ant555 and Power Raid. The second term was a much closer affair, with Sterge and GotTheGoods going toe to toe in the middle, and each snagging a goal to boot.

The Sweet FA has launched an investigation into what the Furies are putting in their Powerade bottles because after half time Jackbero (37 disposals, 8 tackles and a goal) and Sterge (40 - yes FOUR-ZERO - disposals, 2 goals) ran riot in the middle. Both are currently being attended by the medicos for leather poisoning. Ant555 (32 disposals, 8 tackles, 3.2 goals) and Got The Goods (33 disposals) battled hard but were overrun for long spells. Edmund hunt kicked 5 straight for the Furies. GremioPower snagged 4 of his own for the Swampies but the Furies 13 individual goal scorers laid the foundations for a 37 point victory in a cracking 36-goal game.

Gold City Royals 16.10 (106) defeated Roys FFC 11.4 (70) by Tonga Bob
In the first of two Roy-al Rumbles for season 30 (see what I did there??), it was Little Roy who celebrated @Marlowe’s 200th in style with a resounding 36 point victory over Old Roy.

In a classic case of leading your opponents into a false sense of security, a week of conviviality in the match thread gave way to the home team flying out of the blocks on game day, kicking 9 of the first 10 goals on their way to a 54 point lead early in the second quarter. Thankfully for the Monkey Men however, they averted what was looming as the SFA equivalent of the Anglo-Zanzibar War and kicked the next three goals to stem the tide. They even outscored the Royals in the second half, but the damage had well and truly been done by then.

The load for the hosts was shared around, with The acurate one (21 disposals/9 marks/3 goals) probably having the biggest claim for BOG while brahj (22 disposals/1 goal), milestoner Marlowe (18 disposals/8 tackles) and HawkPatrol (3 goals from 3 kicks) also contributing. Ultimately though it was the Royal bookends who were the difference – up front The Filth Wizard slotted six majors while down back Blacky held reigning Fredalist Mooch to 2 goals.

For the handball-happy Roys, the engine room of Runk (24 touches/4 marks), s29 Rising Star winner PurpleGreenRed (24 touches/2 goals), rookie RobR (23 touches/6 tackles/1 goal), JackNah_8 (19 touches/13 hitouts/4 tackles/1 goal) & Dingster (19 touches/11 marks) who made the most of their opportunities.

Gumbies FFC 12.17 (89) lost to Mount Buller Demons 14.17 (101) by Barrybran

Mount Buller Demons travelled to the House of Gumby after both teams opened season 30 with a loss, Gumbies FFC by five points to Roys FFC and the Demons by eight points to the Las Vegas Bears. The Demons started well, kicking five goals to three in the first term behind two goals from _Cayz_. Inaccurate kicking by the Gumbies in the second quarter saw them kick six behinds and cost them a chance at a lead as the Demons went into half time leading by 11 points.

The Gumbies kicked four goals in the third term to trim the Demons’ lead to one goal at three-quarter time however the Demons held the Gumbies off, kicking four goals to three in the final quarter to run out 12-point winners.

Dero was best afield for the Demons with 30 disposals and eight tackles while Riviat picked up 33 disposals and three goals for the Gumbies. _Cayz_ was solid up front for the Demons kicking five goals from a forward pocket.

Las Vegas Bears 15.7 (97) defeated West Coast Wonders 13.8 (86) by MWPP

The Bears hosted the Wonders on a warm Sunday afternoon. This S29 Elimination final rematch was a highly anticipated matchup in multiple ways. Offield, both the Bears and the Dragons sported new look outfits after busy offseasons. In a purely qooty sense, the Bears were looking to avenge their S29 finals exit and build on their round 1 win against the classy Demons, whilst the Wonders were hoping to get their season back on track after a loss to the S28 premiers, the Dragons.

The Wonders notched the first goal of the game within the first couple of minutes but the Bears kicked the only other 3 goals for that quarter to take a 16 point lead at the first change. The half time margin was identical (with 4 goals apiece in the second quarter) before a real low scoring arm wrestle in the second half. In the end, the Bears held on and secured a 11 point victory over the Wonders.

MWPP cameo'd at RR and was Best on Ground with a game high 92 DT points and 21 kicks/30 disposals, but was well supported by the evergreen kane249 (4 goals, 87 DT points) and classy FF Metalcrusher (6 goals). Returning player xenxen amassed 23 disposals after starting from then bench whilst promising rookie tony notched an impressive 21 disposals/ 8 marks in his second game.

For the Wonders, skipper Sab22 kicked a crucial 3 goals and could've had a bag of 6 if it wasn't for inaccuracy, whilst experienced players Jack The Godfather (7 tackles) , SSwans2011 (22 disposals), ClarkeM (17 disposals, 2 goals) and @wojinski (9 marks) battled all day with little support.

Baghdad Bombers 17.10 (112) defeated Dragons FFC 5.14 (44) by Mooch

Round 3: The winless Bombers would have been glad to be at home in their comfort zone after a 7 goal drubbing at the hands of the Hawks last week. The Dragons on the other hand had two straight wins on the board, after a display of goal kicking accuracy against the Warriors last week. This game had all the makings of a bloodbath, with the bookies drawing the line at +/-60

Unfortunately for the Dragons, the Boys from Baghdad refused to read the script. They came charging out of the blocks with Kickthething, Miggs and CALL ME SNAKE all getting on the scoreboard early, with only TheCoach16 replying for the hapless Dragons. The game continued in much the same way after the short break. Kophi kept winning the taps (14 hitouts, 22 disposals) to Antonio Bluevein (26 disposals and a goal) and cadsky (23 disposals, 4 tackles), and they kept easily finding their forwards.

A Swallow (14 disposals, 9 tackles and a goal) tried hard to lift the bedraggled Dragons, but with Hatchy1992 having a horror day in front of the big sticks, kicking 1.6 for the match, it was a futile exercise. In a bullocking 12 goal win to get the Bombers on the board for the season, it was Kickthething, Miggs and CALL ME SNAKE who 4 goals each, while Pie4Life seemingly packed donuts instead of boots for the trip (0 kicks, 0 handbals, 0 marks, 0 tackles). Just to rub it in, the Bombers kicked as many goals in the final quarter as the gutless Dragons did in the entire game.

Las Vegas Bears 16.11 (107) defeated Gumbies FFC 11.5 (71)

On a warm day, the Bears hosted the winless reigning Wooden Spooners, the Gumbies at The Stadium in the Sky. The match thread was active and offered a mix of general discussion, qooty related banter and highly anticipated individual matchups.

On gameday, the Bears stormed out of the blocks with a 6 goal to 1 first quarter. They extended their lead to 7 goals by half time to kill the game before the Gumbies steadied to limit the damage to their % en route to a 36 point loss to the Bears , a margin which flattered them.

Talented guero was best on ground after accumulating an astonishing 39 disposals/9 marks/132 DT points opposed to his rookie nemesis omgfridge (who only managed a disappointing 2 frees against), and was supported by his midfield partner in crime I Dont Care (16 tackles, 124 DT points) . Returning BP Bipolarbear chipped in with 3 goals in an impressive rebounding performance , teaming well with close mate Tommycash (3 goals), who starred in his first game for the season . For the Gumbies, Taylor was unseen in the match thread but still managed an impressive 3 goals/19 disposals, with support from teammate beez (22 disposals, 6 tackles).

Mount Buller Demons 9.10 (64) lost to Gold City Royals 18.10 (118) by Tonga Bob

In the match of the round, this season’s surprise packet Gold City made the trip up the mountain to face last season’s grand finalists looking to begin a season with three wins for the first time in their history. The Demons were looking to consolidate on last round’s breakthrough victory over the Gumbies and get their season back on track.

Unless your name is Lacey or Alyssa it was an even week in the match thread, which flowed through into game day as a see-sawing first half quickly swung around like a boom on a yacht and smacked the Demons square in the face.

After the Mountain Men retook the lead early in the third quarter thanks to a goal from rookie Toump Ass, the Royals proceeded to put on a clinic kicking 12 of the last 15 goals of the match to finish with a percentage-boosting 54 point victory to join Las Vegas as the only undefeated sides in the competition, cementing their position atop the qooty ladder.

The Royal midfield was well led by the laconic brahj (30 disposals/11 marks/1 goal), with valuable support coming from Kapow!! (24 disposals), umpire’s pet Marlowe (21 disposals/6 tackles/6 free kicks for), nahnah (21 disposals/7 marks) and GreyCrow (19 disposals/7 hit outs/5 tackles). Up front, The Filth Wizard tore manangatang a new anoos thanks to his 8 goals to sit alone on top of the Fred tally, while Cesoir, Ulahoopski (to go with 18 disposals) and Paddles_ (with 5 frees for) both chimed in with a couple of goals each. And down back it was Blacky who held perennial threat Tarkyn_24 to a measly 0.1.

For the hosts, too much was left to too few. Dero (22 touches & a goal) tried hard, as did DemonJim (18 touches/5 tackles/2 goals/5 free kicks for), Callums_Guns (19 touches/7 tackles) & boncer34 (19 touches/6 marks). Interchange personality Headless also chipped in with 2 goals.

Roys FFC 15.18 (108) defeated Fighting Furies 12.10 (82) by GremioPower

The Roys (1-1, 8th) had traveled to the Golden Throne to play in the Match of the Round, but were soundly beaten by the Royals. Now, they were back home to play against the undefeated Furies (2-0, 2nd) who had comfortably defeated the Swamprats in the previous round; and, for the Roys, there is no place like home.

The BJO is a magical place, where only the opposition fouls, or so it seems so far in the season. In two games, the Roys have a +23 FK differential against their opposition. The number is higher than the number of frees the Roys have conceded in their two home games combined. The Furies left the game complaining, and there is a good chance that their complaints are sound.

The issue is not only the number of frees, but where. In this round, the frees in the middle of the ground were evenly given. However, most of the frees were called in the arcs, and in both sides, the Roys were benefited the most.

The game started with the visitors on top. In 5 minutes, the Furies were leading 2.1:13 to 0.0:0. Then, the umpires decided to show up. Following a dubious play-on call, BLUEALLTHRU scored a behind. From that point on, the quarter was all Roys, but for an isolated goal by Rioli8217.

The quarter had marks not paid, controversial HTB calls, and “indecipherable umpiring decisions.” With all the help, only a kick after siren from RobR gave the Roys some breathing room. For what should have been a nightmare for the umpires, the Roys couldn’t kick straight. At QT, they had scored 9 (nine) behinds, with the scoreboard showing: Roys 4.9:33; Furies 3.1:19.

In Q2, the umpires decided to be a bit more even, and the visitors took advantage of it. The quarter was electrifying from bounce to siren. When one would think that one team would run the other over, the tides would turn. After kicking 0.4 in the opening frame, Mooch accidentally scored a major. Then, @WackyTigers put 12 points on the board for the Furies. It was 10’ into the quarter, and the difference was just 8 points in favor of the home side.

The Roys stopped the blitz with two goals of their own, just to see the visitors do the same soon after. There was only 5 minutes still to be played in the frame, and the stadium was on fire. There was no person seated on the stands. The noise was defeaning. The teams would trade one goal a piece before HT. At that point the score was: Roys 8.10:58; Furies 8.2:50.

In Q3, the umpires got back to work. Two dubious calls in favour of the Roys lead to the first score of the second half – a behind. The home team’s forward pressure and @Mooch’s corrected aim transformed that into a goal in the very next play. The Roys would score another fast one from the center bounce.

The visitors tried to respond, but a series of controversial calls, especially a running-too-far against Hate, has gifted the homers their third consecutive goal. Then, a strange HTB and a dubious “play-on” call gave Mike an easy goal. In 7 minutes, the difference had jumped from 8 to 33 points. The umpires decided their job was done. Until 3QT, the Furies took control of actions, but the visitors were unable to translate that into goals. At the last break, the scoreboard read: Roys 12.12:84; Furies 9.6:60.

The last frame saw two exhausted teams struggling to kick straight. At a particular point, the sides have kicked 1.6 combined. They would kick 5.4 after that. It was a see-saw, with: the Furies starting strong, but kicking 1.2; then, the Roys reacting, scoring 2.4 against 1.0; and the visitors trying a late push, but only scoring 1.2 again. Ultimately, the Roys added more seven points to their total and won the match. Players, fans, and umpires were all happy: Roys 15.18:108; Furies 12.10:82.

Sin City Swamprats 13.2 (80) defeated East Side Hawks 9.5 (59) by Sparkle

The Swamprats returned home to an unusually muddy Underground Stadium to face the East Side Hawks, still yet to clock their first win of Season 30 and in their defence of the Season 29 Premiership. The Hawks, meanwhile, were 1-1 having defeated the Bombers at home in Round 2.

The Rats kicked the first goal of the match through Nunez, but the Hawks responded with the next two goals to extend their lead to eight points. However, late goals to Sparkle and SarahSmiles gave the Swamprats the lead at quarter time. The muddy conditions took hold in the second quarter as the Hawks struggled to score, an early behind from The Jesus met by two goals to the Rats, who would extend their lead to 16 points at the major break.

The lead would extend to 28 points early in the third quarter before the Hawks kicked into gear, Milera2Betts dangerous up forward as the Rats lead was slashed to just three points late in the quarter, before a steadying goal from projectv ensured an eight-point lead with one quarter to play. Again, the Rats started the quarter well and quickly built a 27-point lead, but this time there was no true fightback from the Hawks, and the Rats secured their first win of the season by 21 points.

West Coast Wonders 14.6 (90) defeated Coney Island Warriors 11.3 (69) by Proper Gander

Beautiful, warm, clear conditions made for a perfect day for an enthusiastic Qooty crowd at this epic “W” clash.

The Wonders were fast out of the blocks, with the strength of their midfield already apparent, and at the three-minute mark Sab22 kicked truly to give the Wonders their first goal. The Warriors chelseacarlton wasted little time in matching with his goal sense from 50 drawing cheers from the crowd in exactly the way his posting in SFA fails to do, and it looked as though it would be a match for the record books. But for the outclassed Warriors, it only ‘looked’ like that, and very briefly, with Sab22 adding two behinds to the Wonders’ tally, and Elmer_Judd adding another classy goal. Only the Warriors’ straight kicking kept them in it in the first, with the midfield battle comprehensively won by the Wonders, assisted by silver service from talented young ruck Bonz, and the siren sounded with the Wonders 4.2 (26) to 3.0 (18).

But TheInjuryFactory wasn’t prepared to let his men lie down. The second quarter was a goal-for-goal affair, with the pressure rating ramped up from both sides and at half time the Warriors were out (NTTAWWT) by 5 points and looking dangerous with a score of 43 to the Wonders’ 38.

Goals by Sab22, KBLT and JT_the_Man restored the Wonders on the scoreboard, and with their confidence soaring, another from JT and a lucky bomb from jezzajay looked ominous to the visitors, who shuffled down the race at three-quarter time with a 26-point deficit.

The Warriors were determined to make a game of it, but the lead proved too much and the home crowd yelled their appreciation when the final siren saw the Wonders dominant with 14.6 (90) to the Warriors 11.3 (69).

When asked how he regarded this win, Sab22 had no hesitation in claiming it as “empowering”.

Fred Medal

The first major individual medal presentation of the evening is for the Fred Medal, awarded to the leading goalkicker during the regular season rounds. It is named after Sweet FA veteran and founding member Fred, who served this board with great distinction for 415 games, still the 5th highest games aggregate. Previously the Alf Andrews Award, it was renamed to remember the great influence that Fred had over the league, especially in our formative years.

It is a formality that I announce that the Season 30 Fred Medallist is The Filth Wizard, captain of the Gold City Royals. In an accurate performance, Filthy kicked 71.28 from the 16 minor round games, to finish 2 goals to the good of Sab22, with Metalcrusher a further 3 goals away. This was despite being dragged in the last round before scoring, but he already had a comfortable buffer before then.

The Filth Wizard has been trying to win this award for almost as long as I can remember, apart from his occasional ventures into the midfield in a Mobbenfuhrer Medal chase. He now has a total of 555 goals from his 273 games, and moves into 4th place on the all-time list (though well short of the BIG 3 of Tarkyn_24 (968), okeydoke7 (855) and Fred (676)). He is the first Fred Medallist from the Gold City Royals, and has won the Royals goalkicking 3 times, as well as twice at the Hawks and once at the Dragons.

Congratulations to The Filth Wizard, on finally achieving this great feat. Your badge is in the mail, and you can finally peruse the Fred Medal Honour Roll and find your name there!
