"Spraying his shots all over the place and creating quite the mess for his teammates to try to mop up."
This line is so accurate.
More accurate than my 'spraying'.

S38 Round 3: Fighting Furies (13.3.81) d Coney Island Warriors (10.7.67) at Van Cortlandt Park.
www.bigfooty.com
Back on the winner's board after a hard-fought, competitive game against the Warriors.
After copping some feedback last week for spraying their shots over everything except the open goal, the forwards improved their accuracy this week to ensure that they only hit the target (aside from a few dribbles to the side). ShaunDuggan kicked 5 straight from 5 kicks to keep himself in the Fred Medal hunt, and was ably supported by krided in his first game for the season (3.1 from 4 kicks) and Orange crush with 2 goals from 9 possessions from the HFF. The Cryptkeeper was handy with 10 disposals and 2 marks, while Feraligatr was quiet in a decoy role with the 6 disposals and 1 behind. JyeDye didn't trouble the statistician besides 1 tackle, which was held for a suspiciously long time...
The midfield fought valiantly against a very competitive engine room from our opponents, with NaturalDisaster having 10 hit outs, 9 disposals, and 2 tackles, omgfridge 24 disposals, 6 marks, 2 tackles, and a goal, with support on the outside provided from crazywildhorse who had the qooty 23 times with 3 marks and 2 tackles. The fierceness of the contest was evident in the reduced impact of some of our silkier mids, with Frothies Mcveigh having the qooty only 8 times to go with his 3 tackles, and Shueygod getting boot to qooty only 4 times (for one goal), though did provide a vital link from the inside to the outside with 10 handballs. Edmund hunt's frustration became evident with the 2 free kicks given away, as he was well held on the wing with only 7 possessions and 2 marks. Our rotations had contrasting games, with rfctigerarmy having a maximum impact game with 18 possessions and a goal, though Grockadoc was kept quiet with only 6 possessions.
Down back, SplintWhisky was superb in FB, with 7 intercept marks to go with his 8 possessions, though Toump Ass was quiet at CHB with 4 possessions and 0 marks. Rioli8217 (5 possessions) and Sab22 (1 handball) were quiet due to the game being played in the corridor, though Chronz continues to enjoy being moved further up the ground, having 7 possessions and 4 marks on the HBF. James Colorado's utterly transparent move of playing off the half back flank to stat pad with some cheap qooties continues to pay off, having 12 possessions (all uncontested), 5 marks (all in acres of space), and 0 tackled. Inspiring onfield leadership.

S38 Round 4: Fighting Furies (22.12.144) d Gumbies FFC (20.9.129) at The House of Gumby.
www.bigfooty.com
An utter shoot-out, with both teams bringing their kicking boots in front of goal (there's plenty in that other league that can learn a few things from this match, and yes, us qooty players are also elite athletes).
Up at Full-Forward, ShaunDuggan brough a certain accuracy that would surprise his office cleaner, helping himself to 8.1 from 9 kicks (and with only 2 marks, was incredibly effective with both handball receives and gathering the qootball off the deck). JyeDye helped himself to 2 goals from 2 kicks, and krided had 3.2 from 5. Feraligatr at CHF proved a fine linkwoman between the midfield and her fellow forwards, with 7 kicks, 3 marks, and 11 handballs, while also kicking 2 of the finest herself. The Cryptkeeper was in fine form, with 19 disposals, 5 marks, and 2.1, with orangecrush continuing to impress in his debut season with 4 kicks, 5 marks, and 11 handballs to keep the play flowing, kicking 1.1 himself.
The midfield gelled together this week, with Shueygod returning to form with 32 possessions, Frothies Mcveigh having 12 possessions and 2 goals, and omgfridge having 21, 1.2 in front of the sticks, and 5 tackles. On the outside, Edmund hunt ran riot with 32 possessions, with crazywildhorse on the other wing having 25. NaturalDisaster had a quiet game in the ruck, with only 2 hit outs to go with his 7 possessions, being replaced with Grockadoc who had 16 hitouts, 17 possessions and 5 tackles. Off the bench rfctigerarmy (23 possessions, 5 tackles, and a goal) had a day out.
Given the scoreline it's obvious that the backline spent some time under siege. SplintWhisky worked all day under trying conditions, having 14 possessions and 6 marks, Rioli8217 having 10 possessions and 3 marks, and Sab22 having 8 possessions and 3 marks. Toump Ass didn't have his best outing at CHB only managing 1 mark to go with his 9 disposals, and Chronz scrapped all day for his 8 possessions and 2 marks. With 16 possessions, 2 tackles (applied only begrudgingly) and 9 marks across the HB line (all uncontested), James Colorado had a perfect game by his standards; hidden in the easiest position in the ground, he didn't do anything except stat pad like a boss.

S38 Rd 5: Fighting Furies (15.10.100) drew with Ophidian Old Boys (14.16.100) at rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome.
www.bigfooty.com
A see-sawing match saw both sides gain and lose momentum throughout the four stanzas, with ultimately both teams running off as, in a way winners, and in another, more accurate way, losers. ShaunDuggan, in a form that surely must surprise anyone who has to clean up after him in real life, maintained his stunning accuracy with 7 goals straight from the only 7 times he touched the qootball! @JydDye showed signs of frustration playing next to such a rampant ball hog, having only 1 kick for 1 goal, though krided was able to work himself into the game a little more, having 4 possessions which were all used to assist others' in their scoring efforts. Feraligatr starred as usual in CHF with 16 disposals and 3 marks that lead to a score of 1.1, and The Cryptkeeper maintained his solid form of late, kicking 3.1 from 10 possessions and 2 marks, though Orange crush was hungry, kicking 0.3 from 13 possessions and 6 marks.
NaturalDisaster returned to form in a massive way, having 15 hit outs, 25 disposals, and 2 tackles, Frothies Mcveigh penetrated the OOBs backline thoroughly with 16 kicks, 9 handballs, and 8 tackles that lingered a little too long for fake sport, omgfridge had the qooty 18 times to go with his 6 marks, and Shueygod maintained his good form with 18 possessions and 3 tackles. crazywildhorse had his run of the wing with 23 possessions and 6 marks, and Edmund hunt had 16 disposals, 5 marks, and a goal on the other side of the ground. rfctigerarmy and Grockadoc, after absolutely colossal games in the previous round, struggled for impact in this match having only 2 and 1 possessions, respectively.
Down back, SplintWhisky continued to attack from the last line of defence, having 18 disposals and 7 marks, with Rioli8217 (8 disposals) and Sab22 (5 disposals and 1 mark) providing ample support on the most thankless line of the ground. Toump Ass returned to form in a big way with 20 disposals and 5 marks, and Chronz had 13 disposals and 5 marks, relishing his new role this season to provide a counter-punch from the HBF. James Colorado seemed to have been figured out, good for only 13 disposals, 4 marks, and 2 lazy attempts at a tackle, with his only notable contribution to the result being to give away 2 petulant free kicks at critical junctures of the game.

S38 Rd 6: Fighting Furies (19.14.128) d West Coast Wonders (13.4.82) at rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome.
www.bigfooty.com
A more team oriented performance from our forward line saw the Furies start strong, hold off a Wonders charge in the middle quarters, and then kick away to record a solid victory. rfctigerarmy came from the bench to provide another option at Full Forward, kicking 4 straight from 14 disposals (and also laying 5 tackles), showing ShaunDuggan that there is more to forward craft than selfishly hogging the limelight and sidelining your teammates. Shaun was good for 2 goals 2 behinds from 11 disposals, and decided for some reason to apply some defensive pressure with 5 tackles that led to both his opponent and himself lying on the ground together for quite some time. krided continued his run of solid form in the pocket, kicking 2.2 from 4 disposals, and JyeDye had his biggest game of the season so far, with 3.3 from 7 possessions. Feraligatr was down this round, having 10 possessions and 1 mark, though Orange crush continued his excellent form on the HFF with 2 goals from 16 possessions and 4 marks, and The Cryptkeeper remained busy, having 16 possessions, 5 marks, and 2 tackles on the other flank.
NaturalDisaster continued with the previous round's form, having 17 hit outs, 20 disposals, 4 tackles, and 2.1 in front of goal, Shueygod had another solid outing with 23 disposals and set the standard for midfield defensive pressure with 5 tackles, though Frothies Mcveigh was down on output, with only the 4 disposals requiring Grockadoc to come off the bench and show how it's done (10 disposals, 4 marks, 1.1 in front of goal). omgfridge was prolific in the Centre, with 27 disposals, 8 marks, and 4 tackles, and on the wings, Edmund hunt was a colossus with 31 possessions, 5 marks, and 1 goal 1 behind, and crazywildhorse providing plenty of run 22 possessions, 4 marks, 2 tackles, 1 goal 1 behind.
The dominance up the field saw the backline having reduced statistical impact, with S38 Full Back revelation SplintWhisky only touching the ball once (1 mark, 1 handball), Rioli8217 having only the 2 kicks, and Sab22 taking responsibility for the counterattack with 13 disposals and 2 intercept marks. Toump Ass wasn't needed as much as he was last week (6 disposals, 3 marks), and Chronz continues to excel with 14 possessions. James Colorado had his typical easy day at the footy, interspersing his 13 soft possessions and 3 uncontested marks (no tackles, exactly on point for him) with signing autographs on the boundary for fans who tried to avoid it and insisted they had actually come to see everyone else.

I'm sure Shaun will punish himself accordingly.
And there is no image I can post that is safe for publication to illustrate that point.

S38 Rd7: Fighting Furies (17.8.110) d Dragons FFC (9.7.61) at Ljp86's Lair.
www.bigfooty.com
The Furies' winning ways continued in Round 7, with a comprehensive 49 point win over our S32 Grand Final opponents, the Dragons FFC. Our experiment with maintaining a forward line with multiple avenues to goal continues to serve us well, and a high accuracy in this game provided an always welcome percentage booster. ShaunDuggan continues to think of the Fred Medal above any other considerations, with 3.3 coming from his 6 kicks, though his attitude has been rubbing off on JyeDye (2.0 from 2 kicks and 1 handball) and krided (1.1 from 2 kicks). Feraligatr provided an example for selfless play from CHF, with 9 disposals and 4 marks, The Cryptkeeper chipping in with 1.2 from 14 disposals, 3 marks, and 4 tackles that may have been held long enough to verge on the tender caress region, and Chronz continues to enjoy his newfound freedom of this season, roaming along the HFF for 13 disposals, 6 marks, and 1.1 on the scoreboard (though he still needs to shed his "make them earn it" attitude from his FB days of last season, giving away 2 frees this match).
The midfield received silver service from NaturalDisaster and his 13 hitouts (together with 17 disposals), and omgfridge had a match redolent of his Mobbs Medal season, with 26 disposals, 6 marks, 2 tackles, and a goal. Our rover and ruckrover were quiet, with Frothies Mcveigh (7 disposals and a goal) and Shueygod (3 disposals, 1.1 on the scoreboard) both well held, though the slack was taken up by Grockadoc (16 disposals, 2 tackles, 3 goals straight) and rfctigerarmy (14 disposals and a goal) providing a lot of run from the bench. On the outside, crazywildhorse (29 disposals, 5 marks and a goal) and Orange crush (22 disposals, a freakish 11 marks, and a goal) provided excellent links between the midfield and forward line.
Down back, SplintWhisky was not only at his miserly best at FB, he also intercepted the qooty 6 times and helped himself to 13 disposals, with Sab22 reliable as always with 11 disposals from the BP. Rioli8217 provided an incredible drive from the other BP, having 19 disposals and 8 marks, linking well with Toump Ass at CHB (14 disposals, 4 marks, 2 tackles), and Edmund hunt who got his hands dirty with 16 clean disposals. Our resident soft, unaccountable HBF captain in James Colorado seagulled his way to 18 disposals, 7 marks with no one within about 200m of him, and 1 act of grab-ass which was recorded as a tackle.

S38 Rd 8: Fighting Furies (14.13.97) d Roys FFC (10.5.65) at rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome.
www.bigfooty.com
While the Furies continue to win, our accuracy this week was a regression compared to the disciplined performance in front of the sticks that has characterised much of our season to this points. A few goals were left out there, and what was looking like the Roys were going to be routed like an old folks' home with a gastro outbreak ended up being a relatively light 32 point win; the old folks' home ending up feeling the defeat as if they had ran out of jam for their scones, instead.
ShaunDuggan continues to score better on the qooty field than IRL, with 4.2 from 6 kicks, though JyeDye was the star of the round, with 5.3 coming from his 8 kicks; poor krided couldn't get a look in, with solitary kick resulting in a behind. Feraligatr was supreme at CHF, with 11 kicks from her 13 disposals, also grabbing 2 marks and laying 2 tackles on her way to 2.1 in front of the sticks, though she was ably supported by The Cryptkeeper's 10 disposals and 10 marks, and Chronz's 14 disposals, 5 marks, and a goal.
NaturalDisaster broke even with his Roys counterpart in the ruck, each having 10 hitouts, though the Furies ruckman also had 21 disposals and 5 tackles to take the honours. omgfridge was quieter than he was the previous round (12 disposals, 4 marks, and a tackle), though Frothies Mcveigh saw a return to form with 14 disposals and 5 tackles, with his performance overshadowed by Shueygod's massive grunt work of 8 tackles to go with his 23 disposals. crazywildhorse (18 disposals, 5 marks, 5 tackles) and Orange crush (11 disposals and 5 marks) provided a lot of run to keep the midfield and forward line in sync, though from the bench, Grockadoc wasn't required to repeat the previous round's heroics, only being required for one mark and one handball, and rfctigerarmy registered donuts while he spent his time on the ground signing autographs on the boundary for his adoring fans.
SplintWhisky was too busy repelling Roys' forays to register too many disposals (8 possessions, 4 marks), and Sab22 (4 disposals) and Rioli8217 (11 disposals) were a little quieter on the stats sheet than they were the last round, but this was a reflection of the dominance up the ground. Toump Ass' ensured his bulk meant the Roys would attempt to go around him, with his heat map indicating that he prevented directed entry even if he only had 6 disposals and 3 marks. Edmund hunt was prolific with 14 possessions, all won the hard way, and 7 marks as he worked tirelessly to cut off the Roys' entries, though he did cry out for help from James Colorado who seemed to always find himself on the fat side of the ground, with 17 wobbly possessions and 6 almost-fumbled marks.

S38 R9: Baghdad Bombers (18.13.121) d Fighting Furies (12.5.77) at Abdu Prison.
www.bigfooty.com
A three game winning streak was snapped in ignominous fashion by Baghdad, with the Furies going down, and not in a fun way, in a gross, messy way, by 44 points. Gun forward and Fred favourite ShaunDuggan enjoyed himself without caring about anyone else's satisfaction by kicking 6.3 from 9 kicks, with fellow forward krided showing the peak of accuracy by one goal from one kick. JyeDye tried to get himself involved with 5 kicks (1 major), and Feraligatr did not have her best game at CHF with 10 possessions, 3 marks, and a goal. On the flanks, The Cryptkeeper was busy with 13 possessions, 4 marks, and a goal, and Chronz continues to enjoy his transition from dour backman to flashy and unaccountable HFF with 9 possessions, 5 marks, and an absolutely ridiculous shot on goal that barely scraped in for a behind.
The backline found itself under siege all day, with SplintWhisky working harder than most of his teammates for his 6 touches and 4 marks, and in the pockets Rioli8217 and Sab22 had 7 possessions apiece as they tried to compensate for the shortcomings further upfield. Toump Ass probably didn't deserve the fluoro boots with a 5 possession, 2 mark display at CHB, though Edmund hunt didn't have his best game (6 possessions, 1 mark), probably because he had to accoint for the lack of defensive pressure applied by James Colorado who "earnt" the easiest 9 disposals the game has ever seen, and whose 4 marks were as uncontested as it gets.
natural disaster was well beaten in the ruck, with only 7 hitouts, though his endeavour around the ground (23 possessions) could not be questioned, and neither could that of omgfridge with 20 possessions and 5 marks, and Shueygod whose 17 disposals undersells the nature in which they were won (6 tackles!!). Joining him in the trenches was Frothies Mcveigh with 19 disposals, 7 tackles, and 2 goals, with crazywildhorse (19 possessions, 5 marks) and Orange crush (17 possessions, 4 marks) providing run on the outside. From the bench, Grockadoc was quiet (3 possessions, 2 marks), and thankfully he's earned the right to this by being a living legend, but rfctigerarmy had donuts.

S38 R10: Gold City Royals (15.15.105) d Fighting Furies (12.12.84) at The Golden Throne.
www.bigfooty.com
The Furies took their S36 attitude into this match, forgetting that in S38 we actually want to win. The Royals were too good in a game which saw both teams spray more shots than an 18yo on their first pub crawl, though ShaunDuggan, who is never fazed by where he sprays it, kept up his Fred chances with 5.3, though the match was notable for a rare handball from the Furies Full Forward. Feraligatr in the key CHF post had a return to form with 5 marks to go with her 14 possessions and a goal, and The Cryptkeeper was very busy with 5 marks, 11 possessions and 2 goals from the flank. Chronz had 15 possessions (10 handballs, in a very unselfish display) and 5 marks, while deeper afield JyeDye had 3 kicks for 3 goals, with krided forgetting his kicking boots (2 kicks for 2 goals).
In the midfield, natural disaster's improved centre bounce work (10 hit outs) was mirrored by a poorer performance around the ground (12 disposals, 1 goal), which led to rfctigerarmy coming off the bench to replace him (3 hitouts, 12 possessions), and Grockadoc was also quiet with only 2 possessions. Thankfully, Shueygod (25 possessions, 5 tackles) and Frothies Mcveigh (25 possessions, 2 tackles) were very busy. omgfridge (22 possessions, 7 marks, 3 tackles) was prolific at the coal face, ably assisted by crazywildhorse (11 disposals, 3 marks), though the honours for the day went to Orange crush, whose 26 disposals, 9 marks, and 3 tackles stopped this being an absolute rout.
In defence, SplintWhisky tried all day for his 9 possessions (1 mark), with Sab22 being very good in a difficult position with his own 9 possessions and 4 marks, though Rioli8217 (3 possessions, 1 mark) was quiet. Toump Ass was excellent at CHB with 11 possessions and 10 marks, while Edmund hunt (10 possessions, 4 marks) had to pick up the defensive slack of "fearless leader" James Colorado, whose 13 possessions and 2 marks are not making any highlight reels.

S38 R11: Las Vegas Bears (24.18.162) d Fighting Furies (13.9.87) at rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome.
A 75-point loss can best be described in words that would result in a lengthy suspension for myself from the site, so I'll move on and point out this result meant the poor form of the last two rounds looks like champagne qootball in comparison, and the Furies were officially in a losing streak.
In such a loss, questions need to be asked of the captain, with James Colorado's 15 possessions and 2 marks from HBF surprisingly good, despite his numerous character and qooty failings. Questions then need to be asked of the rest of the backline, though Edmund hunt's 7 possessions, 2 marks, and 2 tackles evince a willingness to get his hands dirty, and Toump Ass, with 17 possessions and 4 marks, played well across CHB. SplintWhisky (5 possessions, 2 marks) and Sab22 (6 possessions, 1 mark) could only do so much given the onslaught, though Rioli8217 had a very good game in a badly beaten team, with 17 possessions and 6 marks.
Further afield, natural disaster (15 hit outs, 27 possessions, and 2 tackles) was excellent in the ruck, and Shueygod (23 possessions, 8 tackles) was superb in the midfield, though Frothies Mcveigh, with only 13 disposals was unable to provide much drive (though he worked hard all day for 9 tackles). omgfridge in the coal face had 27 possessions, 8 marks, and 2 tackles, and on the outside, Orange crush's impressive rookie season continued with 21 possessions, 3 marks, and 2 tackles, and crazywildhorse was solid with 19 possessions, 3 marks, and 3 tackles. Off the bench, Grockadoc had 16 possessions and 6 marks in a very impressive outing, and rfctigerarmy (14 possessions, 6 marks, 1 goal 2 behinds) reminded the crowd of his living legend status.
Up forward, Feraligatr (14 possessions, 6 marks) did what she could at CHF, though on the flanks The Cryptkeeper 10 disposals, 4 marks) and Chronz (5 disposals) didn't have their best games. JyeDye (5 disposals, 2 marks, 1 behind) struggled for impact, though krided's 2 goals 1 behind (from 3 kicks) kept the game from blowing out. Six goals Two behinds (8 kicks) to ShaunDuggan kept him well and truly in the Fred Medal race, though this was one of those games where unfortunately despite the Furies not being terrible, the other team was just, well, better.

S38 R13: Gumbies FFC (15.11.101) d Fighting Furies (8.12.60) at rfctigerarmy's Hippodrome.
www.bigfooty.com
It was hoped that the bye in Round 12 would refresh the Furies, but like so many hoped for things (like, I would be at a stage of my life where I wasn't tempted to put "captain of a fake football team" on my real life resume to try and make it look good) they so often do not come to fruition. The Furies dropped their fourth game in a row to a team handily accounted for in Round 4, with the worrying trend of large losses continuing with a 41-point margin. ShaunDuggan continued to provide highlights with 5.3 from 8 kicks, krided had 2 kicks for 2 goals (and 3 handpasses), and JyeDye had 1.2 from his 3 kicks, though goals were overall hard to come by. Feraligatr had none despite a solid game at CHF (16 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles), and neither did The Cryptkeeper (14 disposals, 7 marks) or Chronz (9 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle), leaving only the full forward line as those who scored majors.
In an attempt to improve things by throwing the magnets around randomly, natural disaster was taken out of the ruck after only 1 hit out, finishing his day in the Back Pocket (7 disposals) and replaced by Sab22 who enjoyed the run (11 hit outs, 29 possessions, 3 tackles), though with the exception of Edmund hunt (19 disposals, 11 marks), he did not find much help in the defensive end of the ground, with FB SplintWhisky only having the qootball 7 times, and only marking it once, Rioli8217 having just the 2 handballs, and Toump Ass at CHB only marking the qooty once to go with his 9 disposals. James Colorado actually had to pull his finger out (well, maybe just one of them...), finishing the day with 13 disposals and 9 marks.
Shueygod (24 disposals, 5 tackles) and Frothies Mcveigh (20 disposals, 5 marks) continue to risk shoulder injuries by carrying the team, while omgfridge's leather poisoning (24 possessions, 6 marks, 1 tackle) worsened. Orange crush (25 possessions, 5 marks, 3 tackles) continued his rich vein of form despite the team's performances, and crazywildhorse (21 disposals, 3 marks, 4 tackles) provided valuable outside run. Grockadoc had 11 disposals and 3 marks from the bench, while rfctigerarmy was not sited all day.

S38 R14: Fighting Furies (20.14.134) d Sin City Swamprats (17.7.109) at The Underground Stadium.
www.bigfooty.com
After 4 consecutive losses, the Furies decided **** it, and wanted to see what would happen if we actually tried to score more than the opposition. A novel concept, but one that snapped the losing streak. In a shoot out with the Swamprats, there was a surprisingly even spread of goal scorers. ShaunDuggan, Fred favourite, actually experimented with sharing, as he used his 6 possessions, all kicks, to score 3.3 rather than dominating the forward line, leaving JyeDye to score 2.1 from his 3 kicks, and krided to relish a move from his customary forward pocket to the ruck, kicking 2.1 from 17 disposals, also having 12 hitouts and a mark (his replacement, natural disaster, struggled to work his way into the game, with only 6 hit outs and 6 kicks). At CHF, Feraligatr 1.1 from her 9 disposals and 6 marks, with Chronz very busy with 19 disposals, 7 marks, and 2 goals. His counterpart on the other flank, The Cryptkeeper was good for a goal from his 20 disposals and 5 marks.
Further upfield, Shueygod's numbers of 11 disposals, 1 mark and 1 tackle may not have been too impressive, but his impact on the scoreboard of 2.4 indicates how dangerous (if inaccurate) he was; Frothies Mcveigh had 23 disposals, 5 tackles, and 3 goals straight in a superlative performance. omgfridge continued to show why he is a Mobbs Medalist with 28 disposals, 9 marks, 3 tackled, and on the scoreboard, 1.1, while on the outside Orange crush (21 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle, and a goal) continued an excellent rookie season, with crazywildhorse (24 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal 1 behind) also playing well. Off the bench, Grockadoc was impactful with 14 disposals and 6 tackles, though rfctigerarmy had only 1 kick and 1 tackle.
SplintWhisky (6 disposals, 5 of them handballs, and 4 marks) may not have had his best game as FB, though Sab22 (4 disposals) and Rioli8217 (11 disposals, 2 marks) didn't cover themselves with glory, either.

After 4 consecutive losses, the Furies decided **** it, and wanted to see what would happen if we actually tried to score more than the opposition. A novel concept, but one that snapped the losing streak. In a shoot out with the Swamprats, there was a surprisingly even spread of goal scorers. ShaunDuggan, Fred favourite, actually experimented with sharing, as he used his 6 possessions, all kicks, to score 3.3 rather than dominating the forward line, leaving JyeDye to score 2.1 from his 3 kicks, and krided to relish a move from his customary forward pocket to the ruck, kicking 2.1 from 17 disposals, also having 12 hitouts and a mark (his replacement, natural disaster, struggled to work his way into the game, with only 6 hit outs and 6 kicks). At CHF, Feraligatr 1.1 from her 9 disposals and 6 marks, with Chronz very busy with 19 disposals, 7 marks, and 2 goals. His counterpart on the other flank, The Cryptkeeper was good for a goal from his 20 disposals and 5 marks.
Further upfield, Shueygod's numbers of 11 disposals, 1 mark and 1 tackle may not have been too impressive, but his impact on the scoreboard of 2.4 indicates how dangerous (if inaccurate) he was; Frothies Mcveigh had 23 disposals, 5 tackles, and 3 goals straight in a superlative performance. omgfridge continued to show why he is a Mobbs Medalist with 28 disposals, 9 marks, 3 tackled, and on the scoreboard, 1.1, while on the outside Orange crush (21 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle, and a goal) continued an excellent rookie season, with crazywildhorse (24 disposals, 4 marks, 3 tackles, 1 goal 1 behind) also playing well. Off the bench, Grockadoc was impactful with 14 disposals and 6 tackles, though rfctigerarmy had only 1 kick and 1 tackle.
SplintWhisky (6 disposals, 5 of them handballs, and 4 marks) may not have had his best game as FB, though Sab22 (4 disposals) and Rioli8217 (11 disposals, 2 marks) didn't cover themselves with glory, either. The CHB line didn't really help them, though, with Toump Ass (11 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle) and Edmund hunt (11 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle), and of the perennial soft outside half back flanker, James Colorado (11 disposals, 3 marks, and to no one's surprise 0 tackles) leaking like sieves.

S38 R15: Fighting Furies (18.14.122) d Coney Island Warriors (18.12.120) at Estadio Azteca, Mexico City, Mexico.
www.bigfooty.com
The Sweet FA went international in Round 15, with the Furies doing battle with the Warriors in Mexico City (with both sides imaginative banter now resulting in a google translate suggestion for the thread). In a close and high scoring affair, elite Full Forward ShaunDuggan was well held, with 2.3 from his 5 kicks, though continuing in the uncharacteristically unselfish vein of the previous round, he acted as a decoy for some of his more unheralded compadres in the forward line. krided's good form continued (3.1 from 5 disposals, with a mark and a tackle thrown in), and JyeDye wasn't absent (1.1 from 2 kicks). Feraligatr was exceptional at CHF, with 3.1 from 11 disposals and 6 marks, ably supported by Chronz (13 disposals and 4 marks), though it was The Cryptkeeper with 24 disposals, 9 marks, 2 tackles, and 1.2 who was the pick of the forwards.
Down back, SplintWhisky battled valiantly for his 4 possessions and 2 marks, though Sab22 (10 possessions, 2 marks, and a tackle) and in particular Rioli8217 (18 disposals, 5 marks, a tackle and a goal) who were the shining lights of the last line of defence. Toump Ass (6 disposals and 3 marks) was quiet, with his flankers in Edmund hunt (10 possessions, 5 marks, and a tackle) playing either a very solid game, or in the case of the other one, James Colorado (7 disposals, 4 marks) a pretty ineffectual one.
Shueygod (18 disposals, 7 tackles, 1.1) continued his good form, with Frothies Mcveigh (26 disposals, 7 tackles, 2 goals) in rare form. omgfridge (21 disposals, 4 marks, 4 tackles) showed a willingness to get his hands dirty, with crazywildhorse (18 disposals, 4 marks, 1 tackle, and 1 goal) and Orange crush (12 disposals, 1 mark) finishing off his hard work. From the bench, rfctigerarmy (13 disposals, 6 marks, 1 tackle, 3.1) was outstanding, and Grockadoc (20 possessions, 5 tackles) came into the ruck to put up a solid performance of 10 hit outs. Yet it was the man he replaced who had the most storied game, with natural disaster replaced after only 4 hitouts, whose 7 disposals included 2.2, but also included the winning goal in the dying seconds, from incredible range, to keep the Furies in the winner's circle and their finals dream alive.

S38 R16: East Side Hawks (12.12.84) d Fighting Furies (11.5.71), at The Wally Centre of Excellence.
www.bigfooty.com
The penultimate game of the Furies' regular season saw a close loss due to the Hawks' poor conversion. SplintWhisky fought all day from FB (10 possessions, 5 marks), with Rioli8217 (12 possessions) and Sab22 (10 possessions) doing everything they could to help stem the tide. Toump Ass (22 possessions, 9 marks) was huge across CHB, though Edmund hunt (9 possessions 3 marks) was down on his usual prolific numbers, and James Colorado was good for 17 possessions as a soft, floggish HBF.
In the middle of the ground, natural disaster was excellent in the ruck (13 hit outs, 19 possessions, 3 tackles), as was omgfridge (26 possessions, 4 marks) as he continued on his quest for a second Mobbs Medal. Shueygod (23 disposals, 8 tackles, 2 goals) was astounding, though Frothies Mcveigh struggled to get his offensive game going with only 14 disposals, though was willing to get his hands dirty with 8 tackles. On the outside, Orange crush (14 disposals, 3 marks) and crazywildhorse (9 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles) were down on their best, though coming from the bench rfctigerarmy put on an absolute clinic, with 24 disposals, 5 marks, and a tackle and goal to top it off.
ShaunDuggan was accurate, with 3 goals straight from limited opportunities that only allowed him 3 kicks in total, JyeDye having 1.1 from 2 kicks and a handpass, and krided having a goal from 2 kicks and a tackle. Feraligatr (17 disposals, 2 marks) fought valiantly at CHF, and though Chronz (17 disposals, 2 marks, 1 tackle, 1 goal) and The Cryptkeeper (17 disposals, 8 marks, 1 tackle, 1.1) worked hard, with Grockadoc (9 possessions, 1 tackle, 1 goal) contributing off the bench, all lines were just a bit off the standard set earlier in the season.

S38 R17: Mount Buller Demons (26.14.170) d Fighting Furies (15.6.96), at the Snow Dome.
www.bigfooty.com
The final match of the regular season saw the Furies playing for ladder position and momentum to take into the finals. Instead, a lesson was dished out, and it was a spanking that took a decided turn from the fun kind into one that simply hurt. The decision to swap Toump Ass from CHB to FB in itself was not too bad, given he had 12 possessions and 2 marks, though replacing him SplintWhisky affected the latter's game in an accustomed role at CHB, with 8 disposals and a mark being far below his usual output. Rioli8217 (9 disposals, 2 marks, 3 tackles) and Sab22 (9 disposals, 5 marks) were kept busy, with the Furies' own Mr Fix-It in rfctigerarmy being swung back to help (7 disposals, 1 mark), though the Snow Bunnies' onslaught was all too much, despite the best efforts of Edmund hunt (17 disposals, 6 marks) and even James Colorado not having a bad game (23 disposals, 7 marks, don't ask about disposal efficiency).
natural disaster (5 hit outs, 13 disposals, 2 marks) was replaced by The Cryptkeeper who played an excellent game in the ruck (16 hit outs, 19 disposals, 1 mark, 1 tackle, 2.2), while omgfridge (27 disposals, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 1.1) continued to do his quest for a second Mobbs Medal no harm. Shueygod's consistent season continued (26 disposals, 8 tackles) and Frothies Mcveigh regained some form (24 disposals, 8 tackles, 1 goal). Orange crush's exceptional debut season continued (21 disposals, 6 marks, 2 tackles, and a goal), with crazywildhorse (22 disposals and 2 marks) likewise being not overly quiet.
ShaunDuggan continued his own excellent form in a topsy-turvy season for the team, with 5 straight from 5 kicks (3 marks) to put what proved to be an unassailable lead on the Fred Medal, though JyeDye (1 kick, 1 goal), krided (3 possessions, 1 mark), Grockadoc (1 kick) were unable to provide much assistance. Feraligatr (14 disposals, 4 marks, 1 tackle, 1 goal) did not have her most prolific game, though Chronz (14 disposals, 6 marks, 1.2) fought well on the flank.
