Official Match Thread Season 27. Round 6: Roys FFC vs Las Vegas Bears @ Brunswick Junction Oval

[PhenomenalV1]

One win, one draw, one match the break into the eight.

After going winless in the first three rounds, the Roys have slowly shaken off the rust, and now sit ninth. They'll need a good win (and a bit of luck), but it's not out of the question of cracking the eight by Sunday evening.

The Bears, are more or less in the same boat. They share a win-loss-draw record, and will be looking for a win after letting a victory slip through their fingers last weekend.



LAST TIME THEY MET

Season 26, Round 7

Las Vegas Bears defeated Roys FFC @ The Stadium in the Sky
22.15 (147) - 18.7 (115)



PLAYERS TO WATCH


ROYS


nahnah

Returning home to Old Town, nahnah's been quieter this season compared to his run at the Bombers. Can he find his voice again?


Broken

A Roys legend, Broken has returned to great form, both on field, and in the media. Can he get himself 3 more Mobbs votes?



BEARS


Cadaver

The EKA runner-up has been quieter in the media front this season, but he's tearing it up on the qooty field. Is the heir apparent staking his claim?


hilly

In a match named after him, hilly shocked the SFA by booting seven goals, seemingly after being a small on field figure. Can he back that up?



Phenom's Tip:

Draw.



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

 

[Mobbs]

If you're not sitting on 1 win, 3 losses and a draw this season, gtfo of this thread*.


* - Exception: Phenom gets in via a wild card



Edit: Damn you Phenom for already playing the w/l/d card. Get out.

 

[Sausages]

So....my first visit to the Roys. Is it like a BDO at the BJO? I hope not - I'm too old to get shitfaced drunk and lose my pants.

Another draw?

BDO? Pretty much the opposite. Last time we had Iggy Pop out here at Old Town he assessed the crowd and shouted "Hell, I can't be mad at you guys. Does anybody want a cuppa?"

Phenom's Tip:

Draw.

You evil bastard Phenom - a stygian pit of limitless horror awaits you in the afterlife.

He'd still have a chance at getting my pants Mobbs - I'd go all "60's housewife at a Tom Jones gig" on him.

Greetings, salutations and permutations to you all !!

Why permutations do you ask ??

‘Cause who the **** knows what shit the Sim will serve up to you this week !! The only guarantee is that I will run into an open goal and miss...

That’s my thing, the thing that I do.....

 

[Sausages]

The only guarantee is that I will run into an open goal and miss...Moneypenny will jump from the stands and do her best rendition of 'Throw your arms around me' , wrestling me to the soft, green turf whilst pressing her lusty bosom to my chest...

Just fixed that for you mate....I knew what you were trying to say.

How’s it hanging Roys old timers, bears’ friends, and Matera92

 

[MWPP]

Broken - my stat above puts another spin on your nottest 100 round . If this is a draw , it will be fitting , but I’ll feel broken again too, in a way that reparo won’t be able to fix .

 

[Sausages]

G'day DG - how's life at the top?

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Hello Roy’s, lovely to visit the BJO once more! I look forward to settling down in the bog and grinding out an indifferent draw with you all!

Speaking of, Its Manbearpig and Ressies BushPig will be like the proverbial come Sunday- the groundskeeper here hasn’t seen a blade of grass all season!

Now, where can a proud captain get a Chudshake around here?

 

[MWPP]

3KZ is Football
In case you didn’t already know, bears unofficially changed our name to ewoks during Star Wars week because our sfa game thread against the hawks was also that theme (timing!)


The Hawks are Porgs. Creepy.
What are the Roys in Star Wars world ?
(To reiterate - we have already claimed Ewoks )

 

[TedDougChris]

I hereby challenge you - to a point off.

Whoever runs into an open goal and ***** up most catastrophically - causing their own teammates to piss themselves laughing at their incompetence (no - incompetence, not the other thing) is the winner.

Of sorts....

Will the LVB dietitian allow the imbibing of a substance that doesn't have an ingredient label on it chief? Or are you familiar with the effects, such that you are comfortable with the calorie intake?

I'm staying clear of it - hopefully I don't get lynched for being a wimp

We've played a couple of very muddy games recently (which is odd because we play on astrocarpet), but last week the oval was pristine and held up fine in the drier weather.
Out of chudshakes right now ... we won on Sunday. Oopsy daisy. There'll be new stock in by the weekend. I've got Reardo onto it. He's ordering in more craft chud as I type.

Challenge accepted
I have played most of my games from
HBF . Not sure if that should make me more proud or ashamed of my stat. Time to swing back to HFF to give me a better go at this challenge ? I feel that I’m better suited to HBF but I’ll play wherever my team needs me . Decisions decisions .

Better than being lynched for being quiet so

We’ll just play MWPP5 down back.

Bless. I trust the recipe is as wayward as ever.

My friend, with much of our goods being sourced by MBP, there’s a strict ‘no labels’ policy that the club has had since... well, we’re not quite sure actually.

 

[MWPP]

Remove the banish
Some of us embrace the back pocket
And even the bench

Guess that means that MWPP2 will be on the bench with xenxen

Truly flattering that I could make all your dreams come true that day! Figured it was the right thing to do, seeing as outside of that exhibition game the only launch involving you and I was that of my fanclub. While we’re on that, the library needs re-alphabetising, thanks.
