[AnUltimateRessie]

Hi Roys, Hi Wonders, keen to have a hit out and see what our rooks are made of!!

All teams welcome for this practice match!!

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

​

The trip here commences in the Community Rooms of the BJO, and travels down Brunswick St, Tandy St, Pagan St and Legend Pde to the Colosseum in Rasasidge. Now with the comby full of both Roys and Wonders, we make out ...

... and then we make out over the hilly terrain of south-western Sweet, down Waverley Rd and Visro Pde, before leaving town for Rhilpisa Road village. Down the Motorboatorway, and finally a turn onto Bainlea Road, leads to an arrival at Bainlea Oval right at sunset.

probably about 4pm Sunday. We'll find out eventually!!

I'm sure whatever time it is you'll come off the bench, head for full forward, and kick us a bag of 10 goals!!

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Hi Mobbs . Hi Roys. Great to see you all again!

you'll look good in the ruck on Sunday, mate!!

 

[dogs105]

I always knew I'd be better than that pretender U2tigers...

 

[tigs2010]

In what I’m assuming is going to be the highlight of S38 for both these teams, good luck! This scratch match may be the closest either side gets to silverware looking at these spuds squads

I will slap your melon

Studying the game plan as we speak:

 

[tigs2010]

On behalf of the West Coast Wonders and AnUltimateRessie , in collaboration with the Roys FFC and friggin' me, we welcome everyone from all of Sweet and surrounds to take part in the festivities this Sunday afternoon at the Bainlea Football Ground.

The Wonders and the Gorillas will meet at the rural ground - now doubling as a multipurpose venue for the West Coast team - to contest a friendly (sic) practice match just to whet the appetite in the leadup to Season 37 of the Sweet FA.

The Wonders, one of the two remaining founding clubs of the league, will host the event, in conjunction with the countryside Bainlea-Rhilpisa Road team. The visitors, Roys FFC Gorillas, will bring their storied bunch of quaint ratbaggery and possibly even some touches of the footy if it bounces just right.

West Coast Wonders finished 7th to book an Elimination Final, and then eliminated the Dragons. A week later they would fall in a Semi to the Bombers.

Roys FFC were in the 8 all season, until a signature late fadeout led to a chain of losses, including one to the Bye. They'd eventually finish 9th.

Both teams are under new management, with AnUltimateRessie taking the helm at the Wonders and doing a power of work to tuck in the frayed hinges of the club and present a shiny new Wonders replete in dreams and hopes for Season 37. This is the ultimate reboot and 'Ressie' seems in this case to be short for RESOURCEFUL.

At the Roys, long-serving captain TedDougChris had worn a hole in all 3 of his Gifs and decided that was as good a sign as any to retire. Definitely not kicking and screaming, Mobbs was installed as the new captain, and immediately demonstrated that its hard to have frayed hinges when you're not hinged in the first place.

The match is scheduled for sometime Sunday arvo (the usual Sweet FA thing), to help - as AUR put it - get new players used to what they'd be forced to suffer every week of the regular season.

Captains please provide teams by yesterday.

New Season. Same Me.

I don't think that Barbarian headguard is compliant.

Even Barbie is worried that down the track you will end up with damage to your vital organs from lack of adequate protection.

"Either you're brainwashed or you're weird." — Barbie
"I have all the genitals." — Ken

You look protected ahead of Sunday though

You'll be the SFA's finest ruckdog.

Great work AUR and Mobbs … looking forward to the game which should be a cracker between two teams that get on well off The field.

And AUR you have forgotten the Drags have never proved they are more than a blight. They are not a team.
