THE FIRST MATCH: S18R17, at Van Cortland Park

WARRIORS v SWAMPRATS
(9-7) (6-10)
​

* It was the last round of the season before Finals. It was also the last game of the Swamprats as Alberton Swamprats.
* The Swamprats after they had no chance to qualify for the Finals, they finally had started winning; arriving at VCP with a 2-game winning streak.
* Coney Island had already secured a spot in the Finals, besides being only their first season in the Sweet F.A. However, they were coming from two straight losses, and their hopes for a Top-4 finish were holding on by a thread.

GremioPower - since you know everything else about the games between these two teams, perhaps you can answer the following questions:

* What did I have for breakfast on the morning of the season 27 preliminary final?
* What colour underwear did NaturalDisaster wear in the round 3 encounter earlier this season?
* How many Steve Buscemi gifs were posted in our last match thread?

Who is going to win the Melbourne cup today?

 

[jackster83]

Time to bounce back Rats.

We've been about as consistent as the chips at KFC lately, but unluckily for the Warriors this is our up week.

Who is going to win the Melbourne cup today?

From my limited knowledge of horse racing, I'm going to boldly predict that it won't be the horse that was scratched this morning .

 

[kdavva]

Ah yes, the Swamprats, always the last team I can remember when I need to name all 12.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Hello 'prats.

 

[philreich]

Ah yes, the Swamprats, always the last team I can remember when I need to name all 12.

Well you guys would know all about last, given your ladder position......

 

[kdavva]

Well you guys would know all about last, given your ladder position......

You merely adopted the last. I was born in it, molded by it.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

Hey swamprats.

I heard Near Kern returned. Why is he near kern now?

 

[kdavva]

Hey swamprats.

I heard Near Kern returned. Why is he near kern now?

The Lower Murray needed defending.

 

[GremioPower]

Hey swamprats.

I heard Near Kern returned. Why is he near kern now?

Because he is not far anymore.

 

[philreich]

Hey swamprats.

I heard Near Kern returned. Why is he near kern now?

Because he couldn't remember his Far Kern password.

 

[Near Kern]

Hey swamprats.

I heard Near Kern returned. Why is he near kern now?

Because I wasn't allowed to use Farken.

 

[Near Kern]

The Lower Murray needed defending.

Bastard seals are eating all their fish.

 

[Near Kern]

Because I wasn't allowed to use Farken.

Oops, farked actually.

But I did have a future proof avatar.

Time to bounce back Rats.

We've been about as consistent as the chips at KFC lately, but unluckily for the Warriors this is our up week.

The downside to that is that, if this week is our up week, that means that next week against Bombers is our down week, and the thought of losing to them sounds about as appealing as joining the Wonders!!!

Isn't it better to lose so that we can enjoy the finals from the comfort of our deckchairs?

 

[philreich]

Isn't it better to lose so that we can enjoy the finals from the comfort of our deckchairs?

Well at least if we don't reach the finals, it'll be rather difficult to lose any finals.

 

[Near Kern]

How many rounds are there? Not sure if I ever knew.

Starting to sound like a Carlton supporter there Kern.

 

[jackster83]

Who is going to win the Melbourne cup today?

Who ended up winning?

 

[Marklar_33]

Slow. This is my kind of match thread!

 

[philreich]

How many rounds are there? Not sure if I ever knew.

16 this season, and 17 next season.

 

[DenieD]

Slow. This is my kind of match thread!
