Official Match Thread S30 Round 4 - Dragons FFC vs Sin City Swamprats at Ljp86's Lair

Hungry Jacks used to have an Aussie / Australian (not sure of the exact name) that had egg and beetroot in it and i recall that was quite nice.

Over the years i think it was changed and the last one i had was a bit bland.

I think this might be what you're thinking of, they call it The Aussie. I'm not sure if it's always available but it's on the website. Doesn't look too bad, in addition to a standard Whopper with Cheese it has bacon, beetroot and egg

Well I guess I'll weigh in on this, the HJs vegan cheeseburger is shithouse and none of the others have any vegan burgers.

So chips are my go to for fast food. A lot of chips.

But going away from "The big four" the best fast food place is Lord Of the Fries, be it for chips or for food. Very underrated

Ant Bear is bad at qooty.

Factually incorrect, I use my Mobbs Medals as nipple shields and my B&F's as a glove.

Oh that was a favourite of mine too. The Aussie Burger. I haven't looked for it for a long time

If I recall my HJ's working days, it was mayo, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, beef, cheese, egg, bacon and beetroot.

Ant Bear is a washed up qooty player living off his past glories.

That certainly looks very nice.

I've been meaning to try LOTF for nearly two years now, if crowds are back for the Renegades this season (not going to hold my breath, but you never know) I'll make a point of stopping by either before the match for a bite to eat or post-match for celebrations or a consolation feed. Apart from one at Hopper's Crossing, the closest to Geelong is at Southern Cross

Dude, I went to high school in a small Iowan town.

I went to a conference at the Dordt University in Sioux Center.

They’ve quoted me in the event website. I went to look at it, and there I was!

182 cases today, so numbers slowly stabilising. I really hope there will be, I miss going to sports matches so so much. Last game was the Women's World Cup final which to be fair was an amazing last game to see for a while. Amazing atmosphere and a quality game!

Ant Bear were you born in America ? Or just lived there for a bit ?

I am, I should also clarify that LOTF is good compared to the rest of the options. Still, the options all across the board are way better than they were and they keep on getting better, even just in the 8 months I've been a vegan a bunch of really good tasty products have come out

Right, that's a BTGID charge, enjoy your ban!

The week after the WWC Final I made it to one final AFLW game, which turned out to be the last with crowds and the last of the season for the Cats. It was a freezing cold night and the Cats got smashed, but heading into the game I knew it would be quite a while before I'd return so I made a point of soaking up the atmosphere

But back to the WWC Final, that's certainly now one of my all-time favourite events I've attended, if not my favourite. The atmosphere was absolutely terrific, the crowd was sensational, and the Aussies played awesome cricket and had a fantastic win. Have you had a chance to watch the Netflix documentary recently released focusing on the WWC? I've had it in My List for about a week now but I haven't had a chance to watch it, it looks really good though

This reminds me of an argument I had with my ex girlfriend.
You know the genetic information contained in semen accounts to multiple petabytes of information?
Apparently she didn't like me pointing out that "spitting" was the fastest way information ever left her mouth...

So you moved on and now share a changeroom with A Swallow?

 

[Ant Bear]

Ant Bear were you born in America ? Or just lived there for a bit ?

Exchange student. Lived with a local family in a small town on the banks of the Mississippi.

Glad you are happy with their offerings I suppose I'd probably like it if I were vegan but just not a fan

I went to a AFLW game at Victoria Park about a month or so before the CWC final because I'd just arrived back to Aus after a month and I was so depleted of live sport I tried to go to everything and anything. Amazing game and ended up sitting and having a chat with Lynden Dunn during the game which was really fun as well. Victoria park is such a nice ground too and the game was an absolute cracker. After a very promising first quarter the Eagles couldn't bring it home against the Pies. Was looking forward to the finals series too, Freo were my tip. Pretty disgraceful that the GF didn't happen. The AFL just neglected the whole comp as soon as covid hit.

On the docco a few of my mates are in it, one walked out with Meg Schutt and the other was one of the flag bearers during the anthems. Very good docco. It really looks at all teams not just Australia which was really cool. I'd highly recommend you give it a watch!

Victoria Park's certainly one ground I'd love to see in person, the redevelopments in the last few years look sensational. Hopefully the Cats are scheduled an away game against the Pies at Vic Park in the near future

I'll certainly check out the documentary too, possibility later tonight, if not, tomorrow night's viewing is sorted

The Dragons might as well live on past glories as well, because they won't be having any future ones .

I think there's a 50% chance that we will have some tomorrow.

It may be not the case with VP, but I think that the AFL shouldn’t have forbid games in the old ovals. Stupid decision. The smaller clubs are struggling because of that.

I love going to the G, awesome stadium, awesome atmosphere but I also adore smaller grounds. VP is a beauty, Williamstown is also top quality, love the fact it's on the water, nothing quite like a game of footy and watching the sun set over the water. Sadly this year we lost the Northern Blues, I love the ground they play at too, PCO is amazing and it's the ground I've grown up playing junior footy on. Lovely old ground with a grandstand and hill.

 

[GremioPower]

This is more appropriate for him.

I'm that lethal, yes.

Well, if there's anything I can take away (hur hur) from this thread it's,

1. Everyone sure does like their fast food and there won't be much running in the game later today;
2. Everyone has sex like 10 times a day; and
3. South East Australia's weather is shit and the west coast is the best coast.
