Official Match Thread S19 R04: Gold City Royals vs West Coast Wonders at The Throne

[ClarkeM]

Gold City Royals

Vs.

West Coast Wonders
​

Team news:
Gold City Royals
Recruit 3KZ is Football has impressed heavily for the Royals already this season. He currently sits 5th in league disposals, 1st in handballs and 6th in marks.

Captain Marlowe hasn’t been setting a great standard for the newbies, giving away an average of three free kicks thus far into the season.

Spearhead Juggalo Balla has been lacklustre in front of goal, only kicking 6 goals in total.


West Coast Wonders
croweater 41 has been in great form. The veteran is coming 2nd in disposals, 2nd in handballs, 2nd in kicks and 2nd in Dreamteam. He leads the league in Exie points but needless to say, he’s in ripping form right now.

hen da man has been a revelation for the Wonders this season. The rookie has played only three games but is 14th in the league for disposals and 5th in tackles.

Captain TheFreshBanana has been poor this season. He ranks 185th in tackles, 88th in goals and 241st in both Dreamteam and Exie points. The Wonders need him to pick up his game if they want to eventually win a game.


Players to watch:
- Easty (Royals) has been a veteran for a few seasons now. He is currently dominating the ruck spot at the Royals and is a spiritual leader out there for them.
- Golumless (Wonders) has been a bit quiet but we all know he can produce quality in an instant. Watch out for him this week.

Match-up of the game:
Easty vs. Brown Bottle in the ruck. Always a fascinating match-up to watch and with these two heavyweights going at it, this one will be no different. Both are in the top 7 for the league in hit-outs.


OFFICIAL TEAMS TO BE SUBMITTED BY 11:59pm FRIDAY NIGHT AEDST. PLEASE TAG BONCER34 AND ENSURE YOU HAVE “OFFICIAL TEAM” SOMEWHERE IN THE POST THAT CAN BE SEARCHED BY THE SIMMER.

I predict croweater 41 to kick 8 goals and the Wonders still find a way to lose the game. It's going to take a mighty effort to kick 8 from the midfield, but I may move myself onto the great man to ensure it happens if it means the Royals win the game again.

 

[Wooljay]

The two best logos playing each other, how exciting!

Edit: just realised your lion is taken from the logo of an ice hockey team, for shame.

I just realised your logo is taken from the club currently sitting last on the table.

If I kick 8 I will call for a re-sim for some reason.

Hey, I worked hard on plagiarising that logo. :/

Come home WGS, its time. Your adventure has been successful now you must return to your home planet.

I'd be even higher on that list if the umpire last weekend knew how to bounce the ball properly.

Brown Bottle should be prepared for a long day on Sunday in any case.

Why would he decide to come home now when the Royals are on the verge of greatness? He's achieved all he'll achieve at the Wonders...success wise. He doesn't want to go down in history for a different reason... being involved in a side who claimed their first back to back wooden spoons in their history.

It's really not a hard choice.

We haven't won one wooden spoon yet alone winning back to back spoons.

By achieving greatness do you simply just mean making finals? Or just coming close for another year.

What flog?

 

[Speck]

Hey Wonders.

Seems like you can't win to save yourselves since I became an inactive flog for you. Ouch.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

3 in a row has a nice ring about it.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Great OP and yes 3KZ is Football is in sensational form. I have only played 3 games with The Royals, but the club is already changing the signage on the wing at The Throne. I think the 3KZ is Football Wing has a nice ring to it.

 

[Golumless]

3 in a row has a nice ring about it.

That's very un-Royals like.

Surely the sim will start correcting itself for both teams this week... surely.

 

[COHL]

Let's start a winning streak here, boys!

Fun Fact #1

These teams have met on 6 occasions with the ledger squared at 3 apiece.

Fun Fact #2

The Royals have won 2 out of the 3 encounters at the Throne.

Fun Fact #3

5 out of the 6 games between these 2 sides has seen the winning margin being 12 points or under, with 4 of those games decided by 7 points or less.

Fun Fact #4

The Wonders score of 2.12.24 against the Royals the first time these sides met was the lowest score in their history.

Fun Fact #5

The Royals are currently on a 2 game winning streak against the Wonders with both those winning margins being 5 points.

Fun Fact #6

The last time the Wonders defeated the Royals, I was feverishly trying to get the result overturned. Not because arro73 missd the chance to debut, not because I wanted the Royals to win, but because I didn't want croweater 41 bragging about his 8 goals for this entire match thread.

Fun Fact #7

The Royals are about to make it three wins on the trot and put the Wonders further into turmoil.

Lol, Your logo is a baseball copy from the Washington Nationals.

I should know - I'm responsible for getting the Wonders their logo, their jumpers and their current home stadium - a wonder in itself.

You should have seem the MS-paint 'masterpieces' you had before my I got power while your team was playing their home games at subiacco.

I'm purely using this thread to lure Wise Guy Sam home.

Come home WGS, its time. Your adventure has been successful now you must return to your home planet.

Why? You need me to organise you a new team song now?

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

**** off Clarkey with Monday match threads.

Good OP but give me a break, we just played the warriors.

 

[Wise Guy Sam]

I agree, our two teams have great logos. Stolen logos but great all the same.

Fun Fact #8

We are not playing The Cretin Island Warriors this week? Thank Goodness!

 

[Jhye Clark 13]

**** off Clarkey with Monday match threads.

Good OP but give me a break, we just played the warriors.

The rest of the side are in a self induced coma, they won't be here until tomorrow anyway.

TheFreshBanana is still banging his head on the coffee table after writing a long winded thesis, airing his grievances to okeydoke7 and the rest of the committee. He's unlikely to be here until Wednesday out of spite.

Was his thesis about how stupid Monday night match threads are?
