Can chat about next week's match here for now, as match thread isn't up yet and time's a-wastin' :
 
Round 10 Results Update
Round 10 Update:

We travelled far, we travelled wide - and eventually Mobbs found the map and we ended up at the Snow Dome, home of Snow Bunnies and the Mt Buller Demons for our Round 10 clash....


In muddy conditions, we adapted quickly and we adapted well - kicking out to an early lead and pushed the lead out in each of the first three quarters before easing off for a great win in the conditions. Full match details can be found here.

This win pushed us into the Top 4 for the first time since last year....

Allikat 's Hug of the Week:

Sometimes you need your big name players to stand up - or in this case - sit on the opposition with a huge amount of force....

1 : 23.31 {C} - Watch out! Oh! JackNah_8 has laid Callums_Guns out flat.

Great effort early in the first by JackNah_8 to squash one of the opposition - who had minimal further impact on the game....

TedDougChris 's Open Goal and Miss of the Week:

Slim pickings here, during a week which both sides kicked accurately. We kicked 12.3, with one rushed behind - so not much to complain about here....

JackNah_8 's Half Hat of the Week:

This week gets awarded to a veteran Roy (I'm not sure if there is an alternate category here) - Roylion - who clearly did something so terrible, so hideous - in the first two minutes of the game - to get dragged and not be allowed to return until the match was safely won.... Who do you think you are mate - that's clearly the Captains job !!! Despite this, he still managed higher stats that royboy2 - who played nearly the entire match.

Just going to show, that even when the Sim is smiling at you - it can still be kicking you in the nuts as an individual !!!

Well done all and onto next week....

Viva la streak !!!!!

No one told me about the 5 wins.
It's pretty clear from the Ladders & Statistics thread, the mentions of 4 wins last week, and the contents of each match thread and result throughout the season.
 
Round 11 Results Update
Round 11 Update:

Having sacked Mobbs from navigation duties last week, we decided to stay at home and avoid any issues associated with transport. We were hoping that our opponents, the Warriors - would abide by social distancing and not turn up - but apparently their competitive spirit prevented this - so we had a game to play.


Highlights of the match thread involved the brief return of Roys legends - Broken and Barrels !!

Despite the match thread then degenerating to a discussion on Bovril vs Bonox and Marmite vs Promite vs Vegemite (isolation symptoms are well and truly kicking in !!!!) - the Roys were able to claw back from a few Warriors leads in the first, second and third quarters - and cometh the hour, cometh the Mooch - with the gun full forward kicking truly (sometimes) to lead us to a hard fought 9 point win.

This pushed us up one spot to third on the table - but don't bloody tell anyone....

The statistics for the match can be found here.

Well done to all, but special recognition to royboy2 - statless last week, leading all comers with 106 DT points this week. 26 possessions, 8 marks, 2 goals in a great performance.

Allikat 's Hug of the Week:

1 : 10.51 {lHFF} - zackah with the ball now.
1 : 10.55 {lHFF} - Huge bump by StickyMick on zackah.
1 : 10.56 {rHBF} - StickyMick with a moment to look downfield.

Great bump here by StickyMick to set the standard early...

TedDougChris 's Open Goal and Miss of the Week:

1 : 9.2 {CHF} - windyhill wrestles with TheInjuryFactory - and wins. Good mark.
1 : 9.23 {CHF} - So windyhill ... with a moment to digest his options.
1 : 9.26 {FF} - An underground handpass to PurpleGreenRed.
1 : 9.3 {FF} - A snap at goal ....
1 : 9.34 {FF} - That's a terrible miss.

The young CHF wins the duel with the opposition captain - but the finishing didn't match the upfield work... Something we need to refine in the coming weeks.

JackNah_8 's Half Hat of the Week:

3 : 5.39 {C} - Bashed out of the ruck duel by JackNah_8.
3 : 5.48 {rW} - PurpleGreenRed has a paddock.
3 : 5.52 {lW} - No-look handpass to Mego Red.
3 : 5.54 {rW} - He gets a handpass to royboy2.
3 : 5.58 {rHFF} - Quick hands to I Dont Care.
3 : 6.02 {rHFF} - He gets a handpass to _Mike_.
3 : 6.06 {rHFF} - _Mike_ has a bounce.
3 : 6.08 {rHFF} - The umpire pulls a free from nowhere and off goes roo2macca.

The umpires showing that they had been the Qrownbet before the game and liked the Warriors odds here..... Luckily it didn't amount to anything, as _Mike_ won the ball back leading to Runk having another shot on goal...

Onto next week and a date with the Gumbies !! Further updates to come on other issues, such as belated Barrels awards.
