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:

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.

[Pie 4 Life]

Morning all,

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

I'll take a $1.01 on someone needing to have their stomach pumped from taking a shot each time Bonz mentions the number 11 in this thread.

 

[Stoods]

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 …...

(…. soz)

So are you saying all of you left are cowards that couldn't go through with your suicide bombs

Pugsley i expected better from you

 

[Bonz]

I'll take a $1.01 on someone needing to have their stomach pumped from taking a shot each time Bonz mentions the number 11 in this thread.

I don't need to mention numbers to show you all how much better I am than you all are.

Look at both KohPhi and BLUEALLTHRU lining up to write cheques in hope of having a joyride with myself.

 

[Knifey Spoony]

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.

Well you can call me Marge Simpson cause I love you homie

I like the bonus scheme you offer them for signing on.

Is it awarded post humourous?

Crocodile Drunkees always has stomach pumps on standby, as well as defibrillators and bulk rubber gloves (you don't wanna know why)

 

[Robertio]

So are you saying all of you left are cowards that couldn't go through with your suicide bombs

Pugsley i expected better from you

Not cowards mate.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

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.

I reckon I could mate. I have been told I am an extremely selfish and insensitive lover.

You would ****ing love it.

 

[Kilroy]

Nice try stool pigeon.

 

[Robertio]

Yes mate, a bit here and a bit there.

 

[philreich]

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

Coincidentally, a DJ on Pakistan radio allegedly stated on air this morning, "And here are tomorrow's cricket scores."

Was he also an SFA Simmer?

I still smile at that newspaper headline I saw once, "SUICIDE BOMBER STRIKES AGAIN." Does that mean he survived the first one????

 

[Pugsley]

So are you saying all of you left are cowards that couldn't go through with your suicide bombs

Pugsley i expected better from you

I can get worse.

 

[Pugsley]

Afternoon Dragons. Good afternoon beautiful team.

 

[philreich]

Well you can call me Marge Simpson cause I love you homie

Patient: Doctor - I think I'm going deaf.
Doctor: Can you describe the symptoms to me?
Patient: Homer is a fat bloke, and Marge has blue hair.

 

[Bonz]

I reckon I could mate. I have been told I am an extremely selfish and insensitive lover.

You would ******* love it.

How about a threesome with Antonio BlueVein and we just make it all about ourselves?

 

[T2B_]

Took me longer than I care to admit, but I got there in the end.

 

[Bonz]

Yes mate, a bit here and a bit there.

Shame, I thought a clause in the contract about having to be alive would have been a great profit booster.

 

[A Swallow]

You omitted 'with' mate lift your game.

You’re right. I will play with myself more often

 

[Bonz]

Afternoon Dragons. Good afternoon beautiful team.

It's alright Pugsley you can just say hi to me and ignore my teammates

We all know KohPhi and myself are the main attractions here.

 

[T2B_]

A lot of people have made more mula dead than alive mate.

 

[Kilroy]

Oversharing mate.
