Official Match Thread Season 37 Round 10 - Ophidian Old Boys v West Coast Wonders @ Spotswood Oval

[Bovo]

Last Time They Met: Season 36 Round 7 - Ophidian Old Boys (19.15.129) Defeated West Coast Wonders (12.13.85)

Okay here we go. It's Oobs (1st) vs Wonders (3rd). This is going to be epic! As mentioned in all the other match threads, there's a good chance that I'm not even close to sober. It's Easter and it would be a crime to not take this as an opportunity for a beer or 8 in a row. Oh boy, let's start with the Oobs. Led by Tigerturbulance In my mind I think they are the most scandalous in the competition. Why? Back in the day when they formed there was an undercurrent of betrayal and back stabbing. Oh wait, we are talking Oobs not Baghdad, my bad. But a lot of teams were probably blindsided at the formation of this "new club" a few years back now. Love them or hate them, they do have an impressive team thread. They probably are gifted with the most interesting characters in the SFA. I've always enjoyed playing against them. Round 9 saw another win 24.12 (156) against Mount Buller Demons 16.12 (108). Who can stop this team??

Okay let's move on to the Wonders. But first a special announcement by our sponsor, White Rabbit Chocolate Stout. This beer is not only enjoyable it breaks down writers block and I probably need to be careful not to say something stupid....erm again... and again... and again...! So where was I? Oh yeah The Wonders. The team that has Mr GUH paying for them. He's a top bloke I reckon. But You know what? after spending years and years in your team thread I've decided it's too hard to work out who your captain is, however I did manage to find MH370 I guess so that's a win! I can only assume it's a joint leadership responsibility. So you all get a mention!! DenieD, ClarkeM, AnUltimateRessie, HARPSichord, and Cubs2Lions Great bunch of peeps in this club! You probably should make it clear for drunk people to know who is the Captain though. I've been around the traps long enough to know I'm not the only poster on SFA who has 5 too many beers , so you need to start embracing equality.

So Round 9 saw a loss to the Wonders 15.7(97) against Gumbies FFC 19.16(130). Is it me or do Gumbies sound edible?

Best of luck to you all! Cheers!
Oh and big shout out to Grav for the match thread image!

Excellent write-up mate, hopefully it’ll be a great battle between the OOBs and my Wonders.

Hey U2tigers, looks like I’m the only Wonder in town right now but hopefully it’ll be a good show for both teams..

You could say I’m the only ONE (that was a horrible U2 joke)

Now that’s actually sick, I love the graphics btw and that’s anything above my pay-roll at the Wonders

AnUltimateRessie and HARPSichord we need to be creative.

Look forward to spending time with y’all this week OOBs and should be a great match this week.

Ralph is very excited as this is his final week or so before he has an hiatus on here before moving irl so will probably try and be as much fun as possible.

Looks like I’ll join in the fun over here as I definitely don’t play for the Wonders, hopefully the dress code is okay.

Don’t worry AnUltimateRessie I’m not leaving so you don’t need to spam 100 dms now

 

[Robertio]

Who's captain this season Wonders? Probably means they'll be gone next season.

Should be a great week until any Wonders Posters start sprouting some False Hope amongst your team.

Let's just hear the Wonders concession speech from the start.

Forfeit the game

And then we can all move on and party for the rest of the week.

 

[Cubs2Lions]

I always enjoy the week with you mate.

Always enjoy the company also with you mate, let’s just don’t talk about that silly AFL club called Qrisbane Qions and then we will be great mates as always

Qarlton doing well though Robertio, premierships favourites perhaps.

We've missed your great ideas mate.
