* The visitors lead the match for only 7 minutes – 6 of those in Q1. The Bombers had a 26-point lead at QT. The Dragons slowly, but steadily, cut it short from then on. Guardian Hawk finally put them ahead with the winning goal with 1’ left for the final siren.

BigFooty Bombers, 10.10:70

* The Bomber losing streak would continue for 3 more weeks, only ending after 11 games. They finished the season in last place (3-19).
* The Dragons’ maiden season was great, having won the Minor Premiership (15-7). Their dream of a perfect double was crushed by the eventual Premiers, FUR, in the PF.

BONUS: WHEN THE DRAGONS HOST THE DRAGONS (2 matches)

Because of the (in)famous merger between the Dragons FC and the Southern Sharks before S08, the Dragons FFC is up to today the only club in Sweet F.A.'s history to have played against itself for premiership points.

Both matches happened in S07:

S07R04, at Shark Park (MOTR)
Southern Sharks 18.13:121 - 7.12:54 Dragons FC
S07R16, at Dragon Island
Dragons FC 12.8:80 - 14.11:95 Southern Sharks​

*The Dragons FC finished last on the ladder; while the Sharks, after a 2nd place in the Minor Round, lost to the Bombers in the Preliminary Final.

Good morning everyone

 

[Robertio]

Very imformative OP GremioPower.

 

[A Swallow]

I’d prefer to be playing ourselves again this week tbh

Greetings Bombres

You can sit back and watch if you like mate.

Na, that’s more Pie 4 Life style. Well, until last week anyway.

 

[A Swallow]

What’s been happening anyway RobR? I heard whispers of a Bombers home ground relocation to Pakistan? Islamaban I believe? Any truth to this?

 

[Robertio]

He must be a decent bloke mate, I've never heard of him.

No mate, McGowan is Premier over there as well, he won't let anyone in.

 

[T2B_]

G'day Bombres, how's it hanging.

 

[T2B_]

Na, that’s more Pie 4 Life style. Well, until last week anyway.

What was it, 208 posts? Not sure we'll see the great man post again this season!

 

[T2B_]

Are the Bombers mostly vaccinated? It's important that we have defense against the virus while tangling with any of their suicide bombers.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

Morning all,

Anyone fancy a punt today? I hear you can get $1.10 on Bonz outscoring the Bombers this week by himself

 

[Damp Squarie]

You omitted 'with' mate lift your game.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Morning all,

That would not surprise me if a certain campaignery is simming our game.

They are... along with the cheer squad; although a lesson in social distancing wouldn't go astray

Yeah top effort GremioPower

 

[T2B_]

Get on him! (literally and figuratively)

He'll carry us all the way to victory, which is good because I'm pretty sure most of us ate a family size portion of KFC each after the game on Sunday.

 

[Stoods]

Morning all! Looking forward to a fun week

Hoping Antonio BlueVein can make an appearance

 

[Bonz]

Morning all,

Anyone fancy a punt today? I hear you can get $1.10 on Bonz outscoring the Bombers this week by himself

After 11 goals last week each and every one of you should should put money on it and use it as a down payment for simply being in my majestic presence.

 

[Robertio]

All we have to do now is teach someone to drive the f*****g truck.

I actually prefer to be on top of others actually.

Not one of you know how to properly satisfy me, either on or off the field.

With the exception of last weekend, the Dragon's really learnt how to create some positive momentum which led to a big load on my behalf.

Are the Bombers mostly vaccinated? It's important that we have defense against the virus while tangling with any of their suicide bombers.

Don’t mean to disappoint but ….. our suicide bombers aren’t ……… well, they’re not with us any more you see. They self-destructed.

In fact, to qualify as a suicide bomber you have to ……. um …… follow through.

So by the time you recognise them as such, it’s already …...
