Official Match Thread Season 27, Round 7: Coney Island Warriors vs Dragons FFC at Van Cortlandt Park

[WaynesWorld19]

Your week is proudly sponsored by the Bombers FFC

Well, doesn't this promise to be a Battle Royale ......Obviously the Dragons will have Air Superiority, but the Warriors are pretty handy at hand to hand combat on the ground.

So it's the Dragons in 2nd position versus the 3rd ranked Warriors .....who would have thought this at the start of the season?
PhenomenalV1 is moulding a side to climb the ladder, and with the results so far .....he's getting the runs. A heap of Rookies have been brought into the Dragons lineup. They come up this week off a win against the Gumbies, whereas the Warriors are rebounding off a loss to the Bombers.

The teams played twice last season, for a win a piece .....so there's really nothing in this match ...could go either way

Last Time We Met

Season 26 Round 12 - Dragons FFC vs Coney Island Warriors at Dragon Island
Dragons FFC : 21.8.134 ....and a sprinkling of goals across the team for the Dragons
Coney Island Warriors : 16.11.107 .... BigJoeD_ kicking 7 for the Warriors

Season 26 Round 1: Coney Island Warriors vs Dragons FFC at Van Cortlandt Park
Coney Island Warriors : 23.13.151
Dragons FFC : 6.3.39

Key Matchups
For the Warriors, their anchor in Wooshette was quiet last week, but always casts a formidable shadow ....the up & coming star & future leader in TheInjuryFactory . The reliable pantskyle who was quite active last week offers that support, as does candiehappy. The enforcer Raveneyes will have his teammates hoping for a big day out at FF

Interested to see young Warriors Rookies, harry000 and leobarryustar ....showing promising signs, but still just adapting to the pace of the game

For the Dragons, no-one stands taller or more important, than their FF in PhenomenalV1 .....but young old AceAndy has been a sensation in his Rookie year and has been playing well beyond his experience.
Then the club stalwarts & legends .... Hatchy1992 & Blaze Storm ...where would this club be without this backbone, and off course the absolute legend of the SFA Ljp86 ....although we won't discuss his Qooty skills these days

Slight leaning to the Warriors this week in the tipping ......Home Ground may just get them over the line

Captains, please have your team sheets posted in the team sheet thread by 11:59pm AEDT on Thursday.

So Lets get ready to rumble !

Big game coming up this week Dragons! Can't afford to be complacent this week after such a strong showing against the Gumbies, we need everyone to be firing on all cylinders to be able to go home with the points in the bag!

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

May I just start off by commending PhenomenalV1 for orchestrating easily the best off season in the comp.

Congrats

[PhenomenalV1]

Morning Warriors, let's see if we can put our past grievances behind us and have an entertaining week...

We have a past? Was it sordid?
and if so
Why don't I remember it?

Absolutely ageist post WaynesWorld19 you will be hearing from the Dragons lawyers!!

Hang on , probably mostly true. OK its a fair cop

We have grievances with the Warriors

 

[pantskyle]

We have grievances with the Warriors

We hear your grievances and have decided they are without merit.

I was hoping Phenom would explain what the grievances were, sounded interesting.

AceAndy - compliments of Dave Allen:

This woman is obsessed by marine ships. One day a whole stack of international ships are docked at the local port, and of course, she's there. She approaches a British captain, points at his ship, and says to him, "Excuse me sir - what does HMS stand for on your ship?" He replies, "Her Majesty's Ship, madam."

She thanks him, and then approaches an American captain, "Excuse me sir - what does USS stand for on your ship?" He replies, "United States Ship, madam."

She thanks him, and then approaches a little Italian captain, "Excuse me sir - what does IMB stand for on your ship?" He replies, "It'sa My Boat."

I remember Dave Allen's show was on the ABC on Friday nights, a very funny man.

You would have to be confident after Port's showing against Melbourne , those young blokes were really impressive. I was thinking Carlton would give them a run for their money but after seeing the Port/Melb game we will do well to keep up with them.

 

[AceAndy]

Big game this weekend Dragons. If we can get over the Warriors we could end up on top of the ladder

Dragons by 28 points.

Yeah but it's only 1 game, and if Port doesn't bring the pressure they did last week, Carlton could make it tough.

Sounds like it will be a day trip from Dragon Island.

 

[Pea Nut]

Ahhhh the Worriers this week ay. Time to cement our spot in the top 2 Dragons !!!

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Oh wait, Hatchy1992 's still here?

Well, anyway, a pretty decent off season all the same. Rome wasn't built in a day I guess.
