Official Match Thread S33 Round 3 - Roys FFC vs Mount Buller Demons at The BJO

[hotchilli]

Mobbs - does hotchilli play in the Roys cricket team or something ????

Fair enough, hope it goes well. Are you a batsman or bowler ?? I was a 4th change 12th man in my youth....

I do a bit of everything but none of it very well.

That's better than everything badly, which is my skillset.

 

[Mobbs]

Great! Can I trade you for a knackered bar fridge leaking refrigerant all through the inside and stinking to high heaven? Some massive idiot must have decided to fast track the defrosting process to de-ice the freezer compartment by hacking at it with a kitchen knife. I can’t believe anyone would be that dumb

Actually I do need a refrigerator!

Oh this one is perfect for you, mate. Lots of people are in the market for a broken 91 litre Westinghouse, but I’ll take your offer first.

My fridge just decides to unceremoniously dump water all over the foor. The lino is completely rotten underneath it

Not that I want anyone to feel sorry for me or anything, but it’s a weird and lonely feeling when every time you show up and post stuff everyone else goes all quiet and awkward

Well every week I post at least one or two questions and nobody answers and the thread goes on, then complain and say I’m Casper the ghost but sometimes in the meantime I get a reply..

 

[Mobbs]

The thread is 43 pages long, folks. Nobody reads many of the posts anymore.

In the early seasons every post would be read and attended to. Now most people just rock up once a day, look at the last 3 or 4 posts in a thread (if even that) and just add whatever they have on their mind.

I've said it for years, but increased activity and the pressure to get on that train is driving content down and people away.

I’m going to make a special effort to reply to every one of your questions today, Cats_R

I stopped reading a while back Mobbs. I didn’t read your post just now either

I actually read the last couple pages before quoting that last msg. I usually read them all unless I get like soo many pages behind…

I had spammy match threads to open last season b2b with the furries and then bombers. Was primarily the reason I almost told the SFA to GAGF.

Get a load of Mobbs - doesn't post 200+ times for one week and comes up with this!

But you're right, of course, and I agree.

 

[sausageroll]

YES! That is EXACTLY the feeling! Nailed it in a single, classically simple gif

Hey sausageroll get in here a minute

Bit late for that now. I've already replied.

Maybe if you'd actually tagged me...

 

[Zevon]

Cool, my best batting position is 10-11 and I’m a slow right arm bowler (what do you mean, of course that’s a thing). Fielding-wise you can put me anywhere in the outfield that the ball tends to go to the least. Perhaps I could get a spot on your team?

Maybe my post was the trap!

You're going down ya Mt Buller Toffs .

This is the Roys revenge game from last week's disappointing loss, and I have been training hard all week.

No beer or fast/junk food all week, no sireee bob, putting aside my Doc Wheildon lifestyle to do my part to take down Mt Buller.

Doc is a legend btw . One of my favourite Roy players ever. What a lad

i was still asleep so it's your own fault

woah same. The only cricket skill I have is drinking beer in the stands & yelling at the fielders

Not bad.

The only sport I’ve been brave enough to attempt was tunnelball. The teacher would get the most popular girl and the most popular boy to stand out the front and pick their preferred team one by one, alternating.

I was always picked 2nd last. One behind a kid with bladder control issues and narrowly ahead of the girl in my class that was legally blind

What’s everyone up to this afternoon?
We are off to Bunnings. No Sausage Sizzle though and I’ve just started eating those again. Think since covid the SS has disappeared for good.

Ahah! Your first question.

I am considering drinking a weird gluten free beer with my lunch, after which I plan to attempt to hang 10 kilos of framed Nathan Jones guernsey from a picture rail. Then I might have a lie down

Oh yeah. I forgot. SS is back! I had a particularly fine Port Melbourne Rotary one just last week while purchasing sturdy picture wire

David Neitz is going to be really disappointed that you’re getting rid of his guernsey to make room. Surely you should be taking down the giant poster of Mark Neeld first?
