Official Match Thread Season 28 Round 1 - Coney Island Warriors vs Gold City Royals at Van Cortlandt Park (MOTR)

[Ant Bear]

​

Round one. The ocean is calm: clear skies stretch out as far as the horizon. Welcome to Sweet FA Season 28.

Who will run aground on the sandbar of the sim? Which team will be shipwrecked on the Sweet Barrier Reef? Who can navigate the stormy Straits of Mobbs, and find safe harbour at Dun Lop Stadium on December 15th?

Coney Island Warriors vs Gold City Royals at Van Cortlandt Park (MOTR) ​

Where they finished: The Warriors were top 2 for most of S27, losing their final 2 regular season games to finish second, before pumping the Gumbies and moving straight into a Preliminary Final. Unfortunately, the Swamprat juggernaut flattened their premiership hopes, as they officially came 4th. The Royals won their last four games to charge into 5th, but the Bombers snuffed out their hopes in an Elimination Final as the royals finished 7th.

Who’s New: The Warriors appointed TheInjuryFactory as Captain for S28, and have elevated S27 rookie harry000 to vice-captain. @Bleeeeeeeep and Dinsdale join the Warriors as rookies. Steady sailing at the Royals, with The Filth Wizard still in charge. It’s exciting to see the return of Easty, and cadsky has signed on as a rookie.

Tip: Warriors by 20

Captains to name teams in the Team Submission thread by 11.59pm Thursday night

We are due.

I’d prefer to win the flag rather than do a Richmond ( win the minor premiership then lose in the prelim)

I'm a little upset. I was at a public swimming pool and the toilets just seemed like such a huge effort to get to, so I decided to just move towards the deep end and hope no one would notice. Well the life guard did notice. He blew his whistle so loud I almost fell in.
