Official Match Thread S19 Round 5: Gold City Royals vs Sin City Swamprats at The Throne

[Mr Eagle]

Like the Wolves, the Royals are riding high on the early ladder, but it’s not convincing. They mark well. They tackle well. They have some high possession-getters. Their games always seem to leave the umpires tired from blowing the whistle against both sides. Time will tell what this really means. If anything.

Alberton is gone and Sin City is here, and with it just maybe hope for the future. Two wins in two weeks see the Swampies peeking into the finals race at this early stage, with their win over the Warriors perhaps being important just for self-belief in tight finishes. But they can’t rely on toxic to ruck well and score big every week – they need more contributors up front. The Sin City defence is oddly effective in some ways, with their opponents pulling very small averages for disposal, hitouts and tackles.

LTTM: Round 12, S18 - Alberton Swamprats 16.6 (102) lost to Gold City Royals 16.9 (105)

Perfect game to bolster our record. With the two unbeatens facing off this week, the big win we are going to get here could rocket us into the top-two.

When did the Swamprats become the Swamptgoats? Cannot believe the outrage Noobz0r faced for jumping this sinking ship. I mean, who wouldn't want to get out of the gutter that is this club before you get washed away in the sewage run-off that is their garbage posting.

Is that a challenge Arlowe?

Great time to make it 4 straight up against our bitches.

Is Alberton like Frankston for people who can't afford to live in Frankston? I heard they both have problems with rats the site of goats.

Welcome Swamprats. Enjoy your stay. You can either willingly submit to the thrashing you're about to receive, or try to put up a fight. It's your call.

We've won the last 5 against you, and are 3rd on the ladder. I don't think it's really a good idea to start talking about who is the worst team.

[Ant Bear]

Who's driving the porcelain bus this week?

 

[I Dont Care]

Due to several complaints we've had regarding our use and pimping of goats, it is with great sadness that I have to announce that we have had to get rid of our entire herd of goats, camels and other assorted livestock. These will be replaced with...other goats, camels and other assorted livestock. Suck it in, goat haters...the party is on

I think the warriors had such a good party time that they were looking for a herd?
