[Mobbs]

Lawless was great.

 

[Mobbs]

That match was great.

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

worth the wait. Well done Roys!!

 

[fitzroybowiedog]

Fred 1.5? gee maybe the session in pub beforehand wasn't such a great idea.

 

[Cheetah]

Fully sick, we are in the Rio!!!!!

Commiserations Gumbies and good luck for the season proper!

 

[Fred]

I sure am looking forward to playing a game with the updated sim.

You're not the only wishing the updated sim upon you, Fred
Tarkyn_24 should get a holiday purely for that

Well done fellow Roys! M4S didn't get much game time but apart from that everybody had plenty of ball, lots of players getting a run - or just running - up forward to get amongst the goals. Stocka snaffled one, I almost snaffled one
pantskyle got his arse handed to him in the actual hitouts but ran wotdoiput ragged at ground level, chiming in with a couple of majors.
Broken is nearing Season 04 form ... from here on he shall be known as Brokesiadly.
fitzroybulldog enjoyed having possessions without the pressure of needing to convert them all to goals.
Freakie went off temporarily for the blood rule ... he had none and needed to get some.
3KZ is Football was the best player in the world again, as I'm sure he'll tell you all soon enough.

The Gumbies looked underdone in the first quarter, regrouped for the second but couldn't maintain the pace for long. From then on it was a formality, a behind-prolific formality.

Thanks Gumbies for the courtesy shown our team and staff during our visit, and the drinks afterwards were atmospheric. Not often we see strippers at a Sweet FA aftermatch, but I guess the rooms did look as though they needed repainting.

Best luck for season proper, Geelong.

For the Roys, though ...

Good win, full credit. One of those frustrating games where a straight kicking side would have walked away with it.

We keep subbing out our backline structure and we go to pieces. I'll be working on my fitness to keep with the opposition forwards.

 

[Cheetah]

That's just beautiful Mobb's, lets drop Karen a line and get her onboard.

 

[A Bit High]

Well that was poo.

Well done Roys and best of luck

 

[StFly]

Midfield got absolutely smashed & forwards couldn't kick straight worth a damn.

Good thing it's preseason, because if this was round 1, you'd all be benched.

 

[pantskyle]

For the masses:

4 : 17.12 {lHBF} - He handpasses to crystalbreathX.
4 : 17.16 {lHBF} - crystalbreathX crunched by pantskyle! crystalbreathX very slow to get up.

Bad luck Gumbies, good win Roys.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Hey Gumbies cop this:



I TIPPED THIS AGAIN BUTCH!

I also tipped this:

2 : 18.58 {rW} - 3KZ Is Football can't mark but is able to bring the ball to ground.
2 : 19.02 {rW} - 3KZ Is Football breaks a tackle and is off.
2 : 19.07 {rW} - 3KZ Is Football blazes away at goal.
2 : 19.08 {rW} - Can he kick it? Yes he can.

3 : 4.46 {rW} - 3KZ Is Football has a shot from fifty.
3 : 4.49 {rW} - What a goal.

My only complaint is that the dream team points calculator seemed to have malfunctioned, because I was clearly best on ground (again), because I copped the heavy tag and was double teamed for the entire game.

Anyroad ... onwards and upwards for the MIGHTY ROYS!

[Slax]

2 : 3.11 {rHBF} - Slax is crunched in a tackle by winty.
2 : 3.13 {lHFF} - Now winty has the ball. What can he do with it?.
2 : 3.17 {lHFF} - Crackerjack bump by Slax on winty.
2 : 3.21 {rHBF} - Now Slax has the ball. What can he do with it?.
2 : 3.25 {rHBF} - Slax runs into winty and is getting up very slowly.

Not sure if is this that is making me feel like crap today or something else

Game obciously took care of itself, now for the recover before the next match. Will be in the pub within the hour.
