Season 5 Flashback
Following on for flogroybullcrap’s look back in time last week to season 4 this week I’ll give you a quick re-cap on Season 5. Wont be as fancy as his but whatevers
For season 5 we had a 12 team competition. The Dragons finished as the Minor Round Premiers one game in front of the Gumbies (Bring them back). The Fremantle Dockers, Titans, Seventh Wonders and Fighting Furies were split only by percentage whilst the Mt Buller Demons and the Alberton Swamprats rounded out the top 8. The Razor, Roys and Las Vegas Bears narrowly missed the finals whilst the Bigfooty Bombers had a terrible season claiming the wooden spoon with a 3-19 win loss record.
Broken claimed the Mobbenfuhrer Medal with 17 votes narrowly over teammates FattyLumpkin (Roy) Paul D (Roy) and gatsid (Dem) all on 16 votes.
rizzo kicked a mammoth 96 goals for the regular season and kicked his 100th goal in the Qualifying Final v the Dockers. He went on to kick a further 10 goals total for the finals series to give him a season tally of 106 goals but inaccuracy in the Preliminary Final kicking 4 goals 5 cost his side the chance at playing in the Grand Final with the Swamprats out gunning the Gumbies in the final qtr to reach the decider.
Season 5 however was famous for the SFA first ever drawn Grand Final. The Furies and the Swamprats had defied all logic to reach the decided despite finishing 6th and 8th after the minor round was complete. In the Drawn Grand Final you could barely split the teams at half time the Swamprats holding a slim 2 point lead. The Premiership Qtr was a good one for the Furies kicking 5 goals straight and whilst the Swamprats had more of the ball they were incredibly wasteful in front of the big sticks kicking 1 goal 8 behinds. So with the Furies 4 goals up you always knew the Swampys would come out hard and that they did. They worked their way back into the lead by 4 points with only 5 minutes on the clock and then it was the Furies chance to be wasteful. The Furies had 4 chances at goal to win the match only to score behinds on each occasion and eventually a drawn match.
With both teams having chances to win the Grand Final the week before it was interesting to see if it would affect either side having to come back the following week. Both teams traded blow for blow and found themselves basically locked up with the Furies holding a 1 point lead at the final break. The Swamprats through Macca19 reclaimed the lead within the first minute of the final qtr before goals to Fwoy , metallichris and kretchy gave the Furies a bit of breathing space with only 10 minutes of the match remaining . It was a case of too little too late for the Swampys however eventually falling 11 points short Fighting Furies 18.13.121 defeating Alberton Swamprats 17.8.110
The Deestroy Medallist for the best player in the Grand Final was CJH
The dominant big man on the day, CJH collected 14 possessions, had 18 hitouts and kicked 2 goals 2.
A few interesting tidbits from the Grand Final. The whole match thread was 2 pages long with a massive 36 total posts
So onto this weeks matchup.
