3KZ is dressed to grill.

Hello everyone, just a quick update to let you know we are soon underway. Please continue to enjoy your drinks. In case you are one of the few yet to notice, our waiting staff have been denied the option of shaving for a week, and their bodies were forcibly infested with ticks, which patrons are welcome to snack on as they approach to serve you. Please try not to kill anybody - even in collaboration.

We've completed placement of the shipping pallets over the remains of the carpet. Do stick to the signed paths when moving about, and watch for trip hazards. We were surprised as everyone else, but the industrial fans should have the smell cleared up before long. One more time, please stick to the signed paths when in motion. If you stumble, don't reach for anything. It's safer if you take the hit.

Last call, would the owner of horse, registration ... oh nevermind, that's mine. Anyways gotta go, see you very soon! Count starts at 7!

Gold City Royals 12.19.91 wdb Roys FFC 16.10.106​

The Roys enjoyed a promising start to Season 38, drawing away from the Royals largely assisted by atrocious accuracy from the opponents. We came out 15 points to the good, despite having 5 less pings at our sticks.

3KZ is Football led the way as though he wasn't a billion years old, issuing 32 disposals, closely followed by SpecialBruce and Phar Ace with 31 apiece. TheGoatBaron kicked 4 goals while at the other end Aristotle Pickett contained the reigning Fred medallist Brenton Davy to 5 majors.

The Royals had the better final quarter, but failed to make it count on the scoreboard, lodging 3 goals 5, while the Roys stayed accurate and scored 2 goals 1. It was enough for us to record a win to start the season.

And so, lets start the counting!

Las Vegas Bears 17.12.114 def Roys FFC 17.9.111​

High on our Round 1 success, the Roys travelled to the Stadium in The Sky hoping to solidify our early season. The Bears however wanted no part in our plan, and Slowly built on a lead which blew out as far as 9 goals just prior 3 quarter time. We scored the first and last goals of the 3rd quarter, but the Bears snuck 6 goals in between. fitzroybowiedog helped bring the margin back to 8 goals by the final break. Well in truth it was back to 7 goals as TheGoatBaron kicked truly right on the siren, but the umpiring was a bit slow and only communicated this to the scorers as the final quarter got underway.

With the final quarter got underway, we managed 2 early goals in the first couple of minutes, and then a couple of behinds. Art Vandelay stood strong to score a goal and steady the bears ship in the woods, and the game looked out of reach. However Dicky Fitzwell , fitzroybowiedog , _Mike_ and TheGoatBaron all kicked goals at a goal-per-minute mid-quarter, and it was an 8-point ball game with 9 minutes to go.

Unfortunately, after kicking 4 goals in 6 minutes, it would take another 6 minutes before Dicky score the next, and ultimately the last. We had possession on the half-forward line when the siren denied any further comeback, and the Bears snuck home by 3 points. I sure do hope nobody was slowing down the play.

4 : 24.51 {rHFF} - Mike slowing down the play.
4 : 24.55 {rHFF} - Almost a throw to royboy2.
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4

TheGoatBaron kicked a healthy 6 goals, but only SpecialBruce troubled the statisticians overly, with 29 disposals.

Roys FFC 14.10.94 wdb Mount Buller Demons 20.14.134​

We were finally back at the BJO in Round 3, hosting the Demons who were leading the ladder with two big wins and an intimidating percentage. We were 4th, but feeling a bit deflated after falling short by half a goal last round.

The game was a close one for the most part, we led by a point at quarter time, trailed by 2 points at half time, and led by 8 points at 3/4 time. This would be encouraging, for those who'd suffered amnesia and didn't know we can only count to 3 quarters.

In the final quarter we kicked 1 goal. The Demons kicked 8. We just disappeared. To underline this, Mt Buller had 3 players earning over 100 DT points, our highest was fitzroybowiedog with 85! DERRINALPHIL battled philfully in the ruck, though his opponent snapped 3 goals, including 2 in that abysmal final quarter.

This has aged well tho:

Headless said we're going to win the premiership this season and we all know how honest and prevailing they are

It is with sadface that we must say goodbye to Ed_Gein , who announced his retirement during the season just gone. The call of real life sometimes becomes just too strong, and for this reason Ed has left the world of Sweet in order to take care of some other stuff.

Ed played just over 100 games with the Roys, mostly in defence and always stoutly. He nearly retired a couple seasons back, but returned to the fray and ended up more involved than ever. To this point, he was elevated to the LG, and I cannot thank him enough for the work he put in assisting me in handling my first season back with the captains hat on.

We'll miss his friendly presence around the club, but we can't hold on to everyone forever! So best of luck out there in the world, and never forget you have a welcoming place off the map back here whenever you need!

The PTizzle Award is attributed to our best newbie. As HinkleysHeroes is our only newbie, he's also our best! HH played every game in Season 38 for the Roys, mostly on a half forward flank. He kicked 20 goals including 3 triples. His best day out was in Rd 10 v the Wonders where he enjoyed 20 touches and kicked 2 goals 3. He's only had 2 games failing to hit 20 disposals, underlying his consistency from the get-go. With twinkletoes suavete that suggests he's seen one too many ancient cities, we can only hope to see many more great seasons out of HinkleysHeroes!

East Side Hawks 13.8.86 def by 15.11.101 Roys FFC​

( Summary by Mooch )
We were struggling to get going in S38 with only 1 win so far and coming off the bye last week where Roylion had a good win at the bingo and _Mike_ cleaned up at the bowls club. Hawks also came into this game with just one win but went down courageously at Mt Buller last week.

The game started fairly evenly, with a couple of goals apiece at quarter time before the Hawks took charge and got out to a 25 point lead in the second. A late Roys flurry brought it back to a more respectable 7 at the main break. We then took the momentum into the second half but could not get goals on the board, and 6 behinds in a row (3 rushed, 2 to Mobbs, 1 to Mooch) threatened to turn this into a nightmare afternoon. However ball magnets Phar Ace, 3KZ is Football, and fitzroybowiedog shared 69 possessions between them, while Callums_Guns, Biggie, and Shermy put up some resistance. Strigoi and DERRINALPHIL were rucking brilliant - 15 hitouts, 26 disposals and a goal for the former, 12 hitouts, 20 touches and 3 goals for the latter. _Mike_ had a day out with 18 touches and 3 goals but it was SpecialBruce who was ultimately the match winner for the Roys with 26 touches and 2 goals.

Congratulations on your victory, fitzroybowiedog!

Roys FFC 14.11.95 def Sin City 14.6.90​

Did you know that the Swampies' full name is the Sin City Swamprats? That's right. When they moved from Alberton to Nou Camp - just down the road from the BJO - they changed name to Sin City. Like the movie, hey? Well, the city in that movie wasn't called Sin City. It was called Basin City. Sin City was its nickname.

And within Basin City were enclaves or suburbs with their own names. There was one particular suburb that was run by prostitutes. Any guesses what that suburb's name is? I'll tell you in a minute.

We hosted the Swampies at the BJO and we snuck home for a 5 point win. We hit the front 1 minute into the 2nd quarter and stayed there for the rest of the match. TheGoatBaron Mooch and royboy2 all kicked some goals, and fitzroybowiedog had a blinder on the ball, his defensive play at the fore laying 12 tackles.

In the movie Sin City, the prostitute-run part of Basin City was known as Old Town. Here in Sweet, the Sin City team plays in the suburb adjacent to Old Town. Isn't that beautiful?

Roys FFC 13.13.91 wdb Coney Island Warriors 15.17.107​

At home again v the Warriors, the Roys were upstaged by methodical Coney Island performance. Building a 5 goal lead by half time, the Warriors held on to earn a 16 point win. This time we had chosen the 2nd quarter to be absent.

The prominent players were the marquee players of the team, royboy2 fitzroybowiedog SpecialBruce 3KZ is Football all dogged, while judge judy took on the rucking duties while DERRINALPHIL battled injury in a back pocket. Dicky Fitzwell outdid the rest of the team by playing absolutely zero quarters.

Season 38 Itsmyshow Award for the spammiest Roy​

The Itsmyshow Award goes to the player with the highest match day post count and is named after a player who only played 53 games for the Roys (seasons 11-13) but by his own account made a big impact on the club.

When deciding this award, we make no reference to posting quality, just quantity. Just as well or this year’s winner would be an also-ran. Naw who am I kidding? Every one of his posts reeks of quality. With a touch of cutting realism and no small amount of very weird humour, this guy loves to post. A LOT. Usually when drunk.

His numbers were down a little bit on last season but he still topped out the Roys list, chased and often supported - in a sort of funny guy / straight guy double act - by TheGoatBaron. He will tell you that most of his posting is related to captainy adminy type stuff but don’t believe him. He is a serial liar.

He is omni-present in everything the Roys do and stand for. He is the Mobbfather. He is unique. He is Mobbs - your season 38 Itsmyshow Medallist.

Patience dear boy. The night is young.
