Official Match Thread S28 First Semi Final: Sin City Swamprats vs West Coast Wonders at Underground Stadium (MOTR)

[Wojcinski]

When you lose this week you have to change your team name to the Sicilian Swampfarts for all of next season. It'll suit the team pretty well since most of you post nothing but utter shit

It's a draft?

We'll take Mobbs

No you won't. WE take Mobbs and fitzroybowiedog

 

[Dingster]

It's a draft?

We'll take Mobbs

Mobbs is feisty of late. Lock him in.

 

[Ant Bear]

I wonder who will be the last SFA'er picked. The little weed with no size, skill, character, sex appeal or social skills?

Spoiler

Most of them already play for the Swamprats.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

She is. She say says if you think you’re so good how come you don’t feed me.

The Cat already has that responsibility.I am sure she ensures you are well fed, watered and your sandy box is changed regularly.

But I don't really want to talk about that. Instead I will talk about the walk (really a wheel around) I just had. It is a lovely evening here. Off I trundled puffing away on a cigar and slurping from my flask.

On an ill lit average street corner in Mediocrebourne I happened on two cats. One was an ancient Blue Burmese and the other a young fluffy white cat.

They were discussing philosophy. The ancient moggy was discussing the ethics of knocking off native as opposed to introduced species of birds. The younger cat appeared distracted. It had spied a pond with goldfish.

Well there was one goldfish actually, which we will give the nickname GtG. Now this was a little fish that escaped from a bowl where he had swum interminable laps. The proud owner of the fish was a 15 yo sportsmaniac. Unhappily there was a torrential downpour one day and the gutters were filled with fast flowing creeks.

Young Sporty did not have any icy pole sticks to race down the drains and his friend Dr Phil was not allowed outside to play in case his velvet shorts were ruined in the rain.

So he had an idea. This was admittedly an unusual occurrence. Still he thought GtG would enjoy a bit of fresh water and so he took the bowl outside and tipped him in the drain.

Little GtG tried to swim in his standard clockwise direction. This did not work, though he thought it did. As luck would have it though he swum into an eddy and then a wake caused by a B Double passing by pushed him into a pond.

All seemed well for GtG until a thirsty Ant Bear rocked up and drained the pond along with the GtG.

Epilogue. Dr Phil kept his velvet shorts in pristine condition, Ant Bear rehydrated with a fishy protein drink and Sporty's folks did not notice the absence of the gold fish. The cats are still arguing over philosophy. Far Kern is asleep and GtG is digested.

This doesn’t seem very plausible tbh. I would suggest less LSD and teaching your cat to catch mice, and to at least face down snakes. No need to say thanks.

 

[ClarkeM]

Guessing you were doing it alone?

No need to worry about me, if I am ever lonely I have ClarkeM

Look behind you

 

[Far Kern]

Talking of snakes, I spotted a GIGANTIC red bellied black snake down where my neighbour and I were sinking new fence posts today. We spent hours with this thing sunbaking less than 20 or 30 metres away.

Have you met Sab22? You two are very similar...

'cept Sab delivers great results on game day.

 

[MWPP]

2 of my favourite opposition teams so at first glance I’m torn
I’m also torn because the Wonders knocked us out this year whilst the Rats beat us in the GF in heartbreaking circumstances last year .
I am barracking for a draw
Then the underdogs (the wonders) to win it in extra time

Hehe talk the talk now, I'll be the one laughing after a ten goal haul and crushing any smithereens of my former club to dust as the rats sail into the prelims and towards back to back flags.

 

[MWPP]

Actually I just phoned a friend . Make that - Wonders win the resim!

My nerves couldn't take that.

Far Kern lets hit the pub.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

You will always be the person that inspired Meltin with Elton.

Wear it as a badge of honour.

I've already triggered GTG this week, there's plenty of time Smelty. Buckle in, it should be fun.

Triggered? Lels. You wish.

 

[GotTheGoodes]

GTG.......fu** up. Put on your big boy pants mate, it's finals baby!!

A so called "legend" is rightly being called out for resting on past glories. His efforts this year are at best pathetic.

It ain't going to stop, so dry your eyes, toughen up, and have a crack.

Nice of you to fight someone elses battles too, noble.

Yeah... I'm the one that's triggered...

I know it eats you up but ant555 doesn't have to justify sh*t to such minnows as you. Deal with it sunshine.

 

[philreich]

I am the humblest player that the SFA has ever seen.

Any suggestion of me rating or over-rating myself are as factually incorrect as the words Wonders and winning appearing in the same sentence.

I'm extremely humble, and proud of it.

I actually thought it was inspired by SM
Constant Vigilance

And tomorrow’s TGIF aka The Goodes Is F‘ed anyway

 

[GotTheGoodes]

I feel for Far Kern - well actually I empathise with his cat who is the brains of the Kern outfit.

First off he is running an unlicensed day care centre for sportsmaniac. Second he has to tolerate Dr Phil and then he has to manage GotTheGoodes .

The latter refuses to get his shorts dirty, pinched the name of a champ, has not got over his crush on Ant Bear and his rat whiskers are green.

At least my namesake contributed more to our sport than Rock Lobster ffs.

 

[TRUMAN#1]

So much angst in this thread, let's all just calm down, and treat this for what it is.

A wonders training run. Rats just stand their like witches hats for the rest of the week, and let us Wonders do what we need to do, to prep for our Prelim final.

You so fickle.

The only good kind of AB. Especially if it's bought from the blue and white cafe in North Adelaide.
