Ultimate EFC Intra-club match

[Blind Turn]

OK, so I’ve had some downtime on a V-Line train and I’ve constructed 2 teams to combat each other in an intra-club match (afterall, it is that time of year). The players come from the Sheedy era onwards which probably covers the extent of the collective memory on this forum.

I thought to myself the only way to determine a winner is to ask the hive-mind. Those who don’t remember the older players would have plenty of video footage, stats and hearsay to make up your mind on their abilities.

So, who wins?

[Pweter]

I don't have a favourite child, I love them both equally.

 

[Pweter]

Who stays standing when Hardwick pushes Merrett over the edge?

EDIT: That'd be Roger Merrett not Zach

 

[Blind Turn]

I don't have a favourite child, I love them both equally.

Haha true. But this is not a subjective exercise.

 

[Kakkle]

The 3rd team that has Andrew Ukovic, Matthew Prior & Paul Thomas streaming off the HB.

I’d have Harvs manning Rog so that Hooksy could stand Joe. Harvs would never back down but would need to play twice as tall like he did from 93 onwards.

Trevor Spencer would keep them tidy back there in defence.

Never said Hardwick would be on Roger....

 

[Liberator]

The Jubes - if the umpires (and lack of video evidence) were 1980’s spec.

Some pretty tough hombres there...

 

[TheBrightSide]

Tim’s team, as long as Lloyd and Joey can clear some space for Buhagiar.

 

[Blind Turn]

Never said Hardwick would be on Roger....

Yep, fair play.

Hardwick’s size would undoubtedly count against him but he’d get back up each time.

 

[Blind Turn]

Tim’s team, as long as Lloyd and Joey can clear some space for Buhagiar.

Ah, The Budgie, an early favourite of mine. Could play.

 

[Sooper]

Jobe's Jubes for mine.

Only because if Dean Rioli is running water for Tim's Tams, I can't see those poor players receiving the adequate hydration necessary for 120 minutes of football.

Some sound reasoning here.

 

[CBombers17]

Great teams - jubes, Hird would find a way to get in done in all that class.

 

[Rack Watts]

Jubes.

 

[Big John Studd]

The 3rd team that has Andrew Ukovic, Matthew Prior & Paul Thomas streaming off the HB.

Not sure about the footy match, But would make a few runs against jobes jubes bowling attack

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Wow what a beatnik concept. love it.

It’s like cutting up the best of Efc team sheets from the last 30 yrs placing them into positions and pulling them out of a hat.


After contemplating both teams / match ups etc for a few hours I can’t decide.I love parts of both sides.

Ultimately if you tilted one side towards the 80’s teams than o would go for that side, as they delivered the bacon.

I am bursting for the bounce of the ball and our round one game against the Crows.

You’ve got time to make a decision. Each week the poll is open will represent one qtr in the match. So far it’s 7 goals to 5 in the Tams favour midway through the first.

High scoring early but I expect them to tire.

 

[Blind Turn]

So it’s qtr time here at Tulla and in a high scoring term Tim’s Tams have taken a one goal lead; 8 goals to 7.

The highlight of the qtr was Buhagiar being left in open space and snagging goals. Big Roger had a massive box-on with Hardwick and Tim’s Tams look a bit thirsty due to Dean Rioli’s reluctance to leave the sidelines and offer the boys hydration.

Alan Ezard has been called upon to fill Rioli’s rolls... sorry... role...

 

[DERO]

I have just realised when you mentioned Ezard that Jobe's jubes is the only team with a genuine ranga forward and as such am changing my selection accordingly. Jobe's Jubes FTW.

Duly noted. Will be interesting to see how this shapes the unfolding of the next 3 qtrs.
