Odd seem way too low for me. I tend to seem to be going alright but then fizzle out in sheer disappointment to all concerned, just ask the missus.
 
Actually Wayde Twomey, GremioPower , not Cal but an understandable mistake :) I'd say Cal is a fair bit more known...
Is it too late to give the Torch to BLUEALLTHRU ?

Bob: One of your teammates in MC Bad Genius was denied a Torch nomination earlier this season due to his food perversions (you heard me champ, coriander's a f*cken menace and should be fired into the Sun). Ironically however your own food perversions, specifically your advocating of the health benefits of the deep fryer, got you over the line in this week's battle. Truly it was reminiscent of one of my culinary idols, Toby Jones. Here he is in all of his glory, in case you haven't come across him before:



T2B: First of all, I commend your take on coriander (AKA THE DEVIL'S HERB). That stuff is evil incarnate. My theory on MC Bad Genius being such a surprise packet up forward is that he must roll in the stuff and hence no one wants to go near him.

I'm starting to feel you might be obsessed with me, Bob. It's flattering, but a little concerning...
 
Take it as a feather in your cap that someone thinks your ok. I'm more interested in can you beat me in an arm wrestle after 12 pints?
Considering I've had about 3 sips of beer in my lifetime, you might be waiting a while for me to get through 12 pints.
 
He might get points off for the Rebecca Black Friday pinning effort in our match thread but yes otherwise, sound logic.
There should be a clause in the rules for Beez Medal voting, "Supporters of Rebecca Black are disqualified from receiving votes for this award."

I gave Elmer a free pass last week..... last one he will get ;)
 
Considering I've had about 3 sips of beer in my lifetime, you might be waiting a while for me to get through 12 pints.
You have been added to my list of punters that cant be trusted.

The only reason you wouldn't drink beer is if you have something to hide.

What are you hiding MC Bad Genius ?
 
Justifications: R13


"WHY SHOULD THIS ROOKIE BE THE TORCH?!"


Each week, Committee members must justify their choices of match thread winners. This not only helps us choosing who wins the Torch, but it also works as reference for all the rookies on what it is expected from them in the match threads.

This is what it was said about each one of the nominees this round:


FootyGuy13
Well it's not every day when a rookie owns a match thread. When I say own, I mean OWN. Where every page has a reminder that the rookie is here. And for the clash between the Warriors and the Dragons, Round 13 was called 'Round FootyGuy13'.

He provided the OP for this match thread along with all the others, which is a rare thing for a rookie:
FootyGuy13 said:


Hello and Welcome to the Season 30 edition of ROUND 13! After the presumably great WaynesWorld19 retired mid-season leaving this week open, I’ve decided that I, a lowly rookie, could do this great round justice by doing the only thing I can do, facts and figures!

So, for those who are still reading this, let’s have a look at…

No…

No, this can’t be…

The only teams left are the Warriors and the Dragons but this cannot be! My first season in the SFA and I have to go up against the most deplorable team in the league for the great Round 13? @Ant Bear is this some sick joke after I kept pointing out mistakes? Was it really that bad that you had to do this to me?

You know what; it’s my thread, MY MATCH THREAD, MY HOME GAME, MY ROUND 13. I CAN DECIDE WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT; I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT.

SO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS THREAD IS GONNA BE ABOUT? THIS!



That’s right this week I, and hopefully the rest of the Warriors, am going to treat every day like its Friday when I’m in this match thread. Granted, I’ve never been to this place. I didn’t even know it existed until I walked past one in Melbourne wondering how the gimmick works. Though I think I’m gonna get the jist of it by the end of the week.

Yes, I could just ignore the fact that they’re here and just talk about how great @TubbsFarquhar, @NaturalDisaster and Wooshette are when compared to Blaze Storm and Hatchy1992. Sure, I could go to great lengths about @RelaxMax, @Doctor Colosuss and harry000 compared to Dr Mantis Taboggan, Davo-27 and Pie 4 Life but you what, I’d rather act like a petulant little child then put with this. At least it won’t look out of place with the rest of the Dragons. Gotta fight fire with fire.

Also, I’ve realised after the fact that it may mean it’s Buscemi Friday every day this week… @Tonga Bob, @harry000, @Dinsdale, @BEEG, @TheInjuryFactory hopefully you’re cool with that.

BUT WITHOUT ANY FUTHER ADO; WELCOME TO CONEY ISLAND, SOUTHERNERS, WHERE IT’S ALWAYS FRIDAY

Friday

Gotta Get Down

On Friday

Everybody's Lookin' Forward To the Weekend

Weekend

Partyin', partyin' (yeah)

Partyin', partyin' (yeah)

Partyin', partyin' (yeah)

Fun, fun, fun, fun, fun



Leadership Groups, please have a valid team sheet submitted before the deadline of 11:59pm AEDT this Thursday. (That’s 11:29pm Adelaide, 10:59pm Brisbane, 10:29pm Darwin and 8:59pm Perth).


He doubled down on the admittedly divisive theme by arranging for this post to sit atop every.

single.

page.
FootyGuy13 said:


@NaturalDisaster @manangatang @Blacky Can you sticky this post, please. I will give you beez votes, I will vote you for Admin, I will do something within reason if you sticky this post so that it appears at the top of the page no matter what page you're on. I need this to happen.
1603337792443-png.991732


It certainly caused some debate:
FootyGuy13 said:


I know it'll cause some friendly fire, I just need it there to get me in the mood for Dragon-posting.

This is why you're my favourite part of Dragon match threads

FootyGuy13 said:


@serial_thrilla I see you have finally gotten around to disliking the stickied post, what are your thoughts on your teammates liking or even loving the post and will you take up Tonga Bob's offer to jump over to our side of the fence?

FootyGuy13 said:


You prefer it if I change it to Justin Bieber'S "Baby"?

I know have a new No. 1 enemy. Serial_Thrilla has been replaced.

That's actually a thing? I thought someone was making a bit.

FootyGuy13 said:


Who said the Dragons were boring? Annoying, yes. Fight amongst each other, yes. Run their mouth a lot, yes. Boring? Not by any stretch of the imagination.

Also, what's wrong with GIFs?
giphy.gif

What's Wednesday? It's only Friday this week, remember. ;)

FootyGuy13 said:


Hey, it worked, didn't it?
The Dragons have barely posted this week due it being there keeping them at bay.

FootyGuy13 said:


You convince the mods to sticky one song to the top of each page and the opponents go crazy. Smh


His commitment to the cause could not be faulted:
FootyGuy13 said:


Moderator thinks I'll give up if the sticky post gets unstickered.

Moderator is wrong.


His weekly stats analysis was on point:
FootyGuy13 said:


Another Friday, another chance to show who can actually bring it. This week is much of the same
View attachment 991602
@RelaxMax and @Doctor Colossus seem to not care about their opponents and just bring it to every team they come up against. Same with @harry000, the 3 of them dominate this list week in, week out with no end in sight. @Dinsdale makes a appearance as well at the top before we start seeing the best Dragons in @Ljp86 and @Dr Mantis Taboggan.

And, for those who were wondering about the Warriors and Dragons that have been the best Round 13s contributors in the past 5 seasons, some interesting results.
1603328915733-png.991607

@TubbsFarquhar finished 7th overall in the league, thanks to his time at the Gumbies seasons ago. @Hatchy1992 and @Blaze Storm have the same score for Points per 100 minutes, with their extra time on the field helping them stay ahead of the likes of @NaturalDisaster and @Wosh (who I know isn't a part of the team anymore, still tagging her to say "Hey, you're the 26th past player in recent SFA history")

Now, I'm gonna go and change up that stickied post.


As was his Grand Final predictions:
FootyGuy13 said:


Tigers by 22. Don't want to see Dangerflog become a premiership player. Dusty will probably become the first 3-time Norm Smith medalist, this game really is a lose-lose situation.


Well mostly...
FootyGuy13 said:


How's that patch of MCG holding up? Be funny if the rain started lifting it up and it floated onto the ground.


He enjoyed the wet:
FootyGuy13 said:


Oh lovely, sleeve game this week.


He also had to educate TheInjuryFactory on how the kids talk nowadays:
FootyGuy13 said:


2 hungey? Mate, if you're 2 hungey, just go eat something. Surely you're old enough.

FootyGuy13 said:


BTW @TheInjuryFactory I believe the slang term for "hundred" that the kids use these days is "HUNDO".


But by then the damage was done. Congrats FootyGuy13 on taking a match thread and making it your own.


BLUEALLTHRU
Resident S30 rookie barman BLUEALLTHRU survived his stint in Banhammer Prison last week to return to the Roys and their match thread against the Royals. With one shy of a posting tonne, he was everywhere in the match thread.

BLUEALLTHRU said:


Hi all,

I've escaped and might get locked up soon so I'll be quick. I want everyone down at the BJO BAR tonight my shout! That is unless @RobR and @Supersuns have smashed my bar tab!

Hi Royals, I hope you lot like a drink? From skimming this thread you appear to be boring campaigners.

fu** most Essendon supporters...Pricks


Without missing a beat he was back behind the bar to tempt teammates and the opposition alike to join him for a beverage or ten.
BLUEALLTHRU said:


Where's my mate @RobR the bar's open mate.

BLUEALLTHRU said:


So who's coming to the bar tonight?? I will buy the 1st round as per usual. @Kennedy Parker and @Marlowe what's your poison?


But he wasn't too impressed by some of the banter being produced by the Royals. He was more than happy to let them know about it too.
BLUEALLTHRU said:


This thread is pretty morbid...Sorry I wasn't around to liven it up ;)

BLUEALLTHRU said:


Are there any Royals posters around? You would think Top of the ladder you would be all crowing... Goes to show how lucky your sh*t truck team is!

BLUEALLTHRU said:


True, but it appears your lot is taking the jobkeeper handouts and staying in bed...lazy campaigners. At least work for your money like we did!


Eventually he wore them down, and the likes of The Filth Wizard and Marlowe fell victim to his trap. Before they knew it they were on the floor and in debt to BAT.
BLUEALLTHRU said:


Are you the rather overweight and bald guy at the table closest to the toilet? My female staff have asked me to kick you out for muttering terrible obscenities at them! Calm down mate, this will be your only warning!

BLUEALLTHRU said:


So I managed to get @Marlowe and @The Filth Wizard down for a couple of frothies but @Kennedy Parker is a ******* spoil sport! It's piss weak really I'm extending top hospitality and shouting a couple...WTF! There are obviously some people who don't like a drink and that's okay but at least say no thanks.

@Marlowe it's your shout campaigner and I Was hoping to see your pick up style!

BLUEALLTHRU said:


This photo was taken at 6pm last night on the BJO oval, as you can see @Marlowe , @The Filth Wizard , @CakeEater ,@Smartys Power and @GreyCrow joined in the festivities but sadly are sprinters and not stayers.
1603509237225-png.993580
@GreyCrow is not pictured here, he was found in the toilet asleep with his pants around his ankles.

BLUEALLTHRU said:


It's simply brilliant but a bit sneaky. I know the cost prices on everything and the margins I need to maintain. I just overcharge between 5-10% when my customers are pissed and that goes towards the tab. I'm the next Alcapone.


And then finishing off the week with a rant about snakes before signing off after a big Roys win..
BLUEALLTHRU said:


yesterday I was reading about a bloke who had one in his aviary and it had already killed a couple of his birds. He pinned it down with his rake and when the snake catcher came the snake was highly pissed off, striking everywhere. The devils creatures, cannot stand them!

BLUEALLTHRU said:


Great week thankyou Royals. Most of you are boring campaigners. @CakeEater was a breath of fresh air!

Roys I am so ******* proud of you!


As the most prevalent rookie without a Torch nomination so far (by a significant margin), will this be the week BLUEALLTHRU joins his rookie brethren with a Torch win?


Hai_Newman
Would this be Santoz's own Steamer of the Week? So far, nothing...
Hail to the Chip!
With 21 posts, our boy Hai_Newman was out to make an impact for the Bombers in their match against the Hawks. The thread was his canvas. His weapons? Music videos. Lots of music videos.

He set his stall out early with a "I'm going to pop my cherry" with the Runaway's Cherry Bomb, followed quickly by the Deee-Lite classic "Groove Is In The Heart." You're singing it now, aren't you?

Others included Fedde Le Grand, Tito & Tarantula, Christina, Britney, Alice DJ, Alex Gaudino, Kerncraft 400, King Missile. All delivered in his inimitable style with gifs.

In this rookie's world, life is a big party. And you're invited.


Elmer_Judd
Elmer_Judd. The Wonder, the myth...the prophet? As he said himself, this was his "...finest moment as a West Coast Wonder"

Not many predicted a Wonders win, but this rookie predicted the win early.

He said early on "YOU ARE GOING DOWN BAD NEWS BEARS, THAT IS AN ELMER GUARNTEE." and then at the end of the week "Take it to the bank the Wonders will get the win today and in style !". This was true.

He also said he was going to put in a "Bamford like performance", referring to the Leeds United striker who got a hat-trick the evening before.

He even stood up to the might of Metalcrusher, calling him out and telling him to "Pipe down campaignery, you will get what scraps are left over."

Finally, in a wide ranging performance, he gave a touching eulogy to a fellow legend in Harold Bishop from Neighbours, saying that "...he died twice for Madge". RIP indeed and thanks for the memories.

It's not all hits though, his most ambitious project was trying to trend #ErectElmer. This started with Leeds United's win but continued into the Wonders performance. Watch out teams, don't excite this one.
