Season 23 Summary
​

Both the Warriors and Swamprats have struggled thus far this season, each sitting at 1-2 early in the season. The Warriors were crushed by the Furies Round 1 and have struggled to rebound since, and the Swamprats were beaten by the juggernauts that are the Royals in Round 2 but rebounded last week to knock off the Wolves. A win is crucial for both sides in order to keep up with and potentially break into the top 8.

Players to Watch
​

Wooshette - Qhampion Data's Round 2 player of the round looms as a critical influence both on and off the field this week. Struggled last week against the Bears only getting 15 disposals as the Warriors fell by 28 points. Look for her to bounce back in a big way this week.
Frankston Rover - The Hall of Famer was an absent figure in the match thread last week due to a real life holiday (what a jerk!) and is likely to be sporadic once again this week, however his presence has been immense on the field, collecting the most hitouts in the competition as well as ranking 4th for disposals.

Ant Bear - The reigning Mobbs Medallist will look to bounce back from arguably his worst performance in over a season last round, proving he is mortal after all. The beez medallist from Season 22 has been excellent on and off the field this season once again, and look for him to be near the top of the top contributors table this week.
Millky95 - The captain of the Swamprats has endured a tough couple of weeks off the field, with #scandal after #scandal enveloping the maligned skipper. Look for his rivalry off the field with Wooshette to continue this round.

Tip
Whoever GN80 doesn't pick.

Captains must submit their teams in a post that contains the words “Official Team Sheet” by 11.59pm on Thursday.

Ok Rats ... two in a row needed

 

[HaroLad]

Why are you doing this?

 

[Paddles_]

Why are you doing this?

I'm taking over the league

 

[zackah]

Why won't anyone believe me - I am a ****ing player to watch dammit

 

[HaroLad]

I'm taking over the league

So it would seem.

 

[Ant Bear]

Hello, I Dont Care

We would never have treated you so bad.

 

[spookism]

Jazny with 29 possessions and 1 goal last time we played - no wonder he made the All Sweet-FA team...

*she

Well, there ya go

 

[zackah]

*she

Well, there ya go

Jazny is a gender fluid elf. The only label he-she goes by is ALL-SFA.

 

[Ant Bear]

At least we're playing a team that doesn't mind having some fun this week. The Wolves could do with some of that attitude.

 

[Noobz0r]

Why won't anyone believe me - I am a ******* player to watch dammit

I was at the Warriors open session last week and couldn't stop watching you, it was mesmerising.

I will also accept Frankston Rover Medalist

 

[Ant Bear]

I will also accept Frankston Rover Medalist

Hey, we have one of those too!
Cloud_ this elf is your soul-mate!

 

[Jazny]

I am just posting this here for no reason...

 

[Ant Bear]

I am just posting this here for no reason...

Well done!

 

[Ant Bear]

Isn't this where Frankston Rover comes in and says blah, blah We've won more than you blah blah destination club blah blah how many times have I folded you blah blah?

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Hey, we have one of those too!
Cloud_ this elf is your soul-mate!

Not according to the captain unfortunately, Millky95 refuses to acknowledge the award's legitimacy. His reasoning being "because it's named after a Coney Island Warriors player".

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Did I actually get 3 votes last time? Which scrub was I playing on?

 

[sportsmaniac89]

Excellent!

This has the potential to be quite a fun week and I guess it remains to be seen whether the Warriors have a sense of humour.

My prediction is the Warriors will enjoy the week, not sook it up on #GifFriday like another club that shall remain nameless *cough* Wolves * but the Swamprats to be far too strong on gameday.

 

[Golumless]

Poor form from Thatsapaddlin to put no cat (you know the animal not the shit truck afl team) gifs and actual analysis into the OP.

Like i'm outraged right now.

I can only give you a "participates well" for dog giffing I'm afraid. The full golden rat dropping is reserved:
