Oh here we go: out of the dark ages and into a time where I existed! Next up in Know Our Opponents in the A Swallow / Moo Shield we're into the S29 Sweet renaissance, and our Round 4 matchup. You may not know this, but current Warrior captain Tonga Bob also debuted in this season (as well as charming little scamps Chipmunk, GremioPower, Bastyy, GWS Goose, Bovo and Santoz).

The match threads also stepped up a gear (42 pages a huge leap from that 11 page effort in S27), and just have a look at this fantastic effort from Party Gull in the OP, depicting captains TheInjuryFactory and AceAndy in battle:

Now this was an absolute belter of a match, with the result in doubt until the very last second. The match started off as a real arm-wrestle, with the Dragons scaping to a 8 point lead at the first break, but the Warriors eventually wore down the Dragon defence to grab the lead and extend it to 22 points by half time. They took the chocolates in the third quarter too, and grew their lead to 33 points by the final change - and when a pair of pantskyle goals ballooned their lead to 45 points in the second minute of the final quarter the result looked beyond doubt.

But then it happened.

3.56 - Goal to Hatchy1992 (DRA)
4.25 - Goal to Davo-27 (DRA)

Suddenly the Dragons were 10 points up with three minutes to play thanks to an incredible nine goals in a row.

The Warriors were so upset by this that they took to abusing poor sim poster NaturalDisaster:
WOW the Warriors have resorted to threats.

Sad

I refuse to post the rest of the game now.

But the Warriors would not give up, and after a missed shot on the run by Tonga Bob and a late goal to kdavva they had pulled the margin back to less than a kick with a few seconds to play. But....it was not to be. Dragons won by 3 points.

fumbler was one of the Dragons' best with 29 disposals, 10 tackles and 2 goals with great support from @Dr Mantis Toboggan (33 disposals + 2 goals) and Hatchy1992 (5 goals). This was also Strigoi's first game in the A Swallow / Moo Shield, and she had an epic battle with RelaxMax in the ruck. For the Warriors there were plenty racking up huge numbers, with RelaxMax (17 hitouts, 39 disposals, 7 tackles and 2 goals), kdavva (39 disposals, 9 marks and a goal) and pantskyle (32 disposals + 4 goals) having great games in a losing performance.

For the record - I skulked around in the middle of the ground and picked up a lazy 26 disposals without really impacting the game at all.

In our next installment of Know Our Opponents in the A Swallow / Moo Shield we're moving on to the second matchup of Season 29. For some reason the Warriors love referring back to this game, but I'm not exactly sure why: the Round 15 match thread was 58 pages of charming banter, followed by the Dragons belting the living suitcase out of them in the sim.

As they love to do, the Warriors bounced out of the blocks with the first three goals of the game, but the Dragons managed to work their way back into it - with the tight tussle resulting in a tiny Dragon lead of 4 points at the half. But then...the Dragons kicked 12 of the 15 goals in the second half to completely humiliate the Warriors outfit and blow them out of the water. The final margin: 62 points in favour of the Dragons.

I don't want to toot my own horn, but I had an absolutely incredible game: 29 disposals, 5 marks, 2 tackles and 2 goals led to the first Mobbs Medal votes of my career, and I was head and shoulders above anyone else on the field that day. Hatchy1992 booted 6 majors up forward, and Blaze Storm gave great support with three - but it was a dismal display from the Warriors, with RelaxMax's effort in the ruck the only thing worth highlighting.

Quote of the match thread goes to TheInjuryFactory with his admirable support for Tonga Bob:
I'd be happy too, we've crushed all your opposition to the EKA.


For those playing along at home, the Warriors once again missed out on finals this season, and Tonga Bob did not in fact win the EKA.

Oh here we go: out of the dark ages and into a time where I existed! Next up in Know Our Opponents in the A Swallow / Moo Shield we're into the S29 Sweet renaissance, and our Round 4 matchup. You may not know this, but current Warrior captain Tonga Bob also debuted in this season (as well as charming little scamps Chipmunk, GremioPower, Bastyy, GWS Goose, Bovo and Santoz).

The match threads also stepped up a gear (42 pages a huge leap from that 11 page effort in S27), and just have a look at this fantastic effort from Party Gull in the OP, depicting captains TheInjuryFactory and AceAndy in battle:

Now this was an absolute belter of a match, with the result in doubt until the very last second. The match started off as a real arm-wrestle, with the Dragons scaping to a 8 point lead at the first break, but the Warriors eventually wore down the Dragon defence to grab the lead and extend it to 22 points by half time. They took the chocolates in the third quarter too, and grew their lead to 33 points by the final change - and when a pair of pantskyle goals ballooned their lead to 45 points in the second minute of the final quarter the result looked beyond doubt.

But then it happened.

Suddenly the Dragons were 10 points up with three minutes to play thanks to an incredible nine goals in a row.

The Warriors were so upset by this that they took to abusing poor sim poster NaturalDisaster:


But the Warriors would not give up, and after a missed shot on the run by Tonga Bob and a late goal to kdavva they had pulled the margin back to less than a kick with a few seconds to play. But....it was not to be. Dragons won by 3 points.

fumbler was one of the Dragons' best with 29 disposals, 10 tackles and 2 goals with great support from @Dr Mantis Toboggan (33 disposals + 2 goals) and Hatchy1992 (5 goals). This was also Strigoi's first game in the A Swallow / Moo Shield, and she had an epic battle with RelaxMax in the ruck. For the Warriors there were plenty racking up huge numbers, with RelaxMax (17 hitouts, 39 disposals, 7 tackles and 2 goals), kdavva (39 disposals, 9 marks and a goal) and pantskyle (32 disposals + 4 goals) having great games in a losing performance.

For the record - I skulked around in the middle of the ground and picked up a lazy 26 disposals without really impacting the game at all.
At least they didnt have a torp disappear on them
 
In serial_thrilla 's defence he did bring me in.

I like to imagine that I secretly run this club now, and of course when things go wrong you can always simply abuse the captain.

When are we going to see your MyAnimeList. Aside from the obvious 10 you've given Nichijou.
Is comewhatmay RelaxMax? :confusedv1:
...you didn't know?
For some reason the Warriors love referring back to this game, but I'm not exactly sure why
Stop repressing ya memories, you know why.

Oh My God Reaction GIF by The Office
 
We're now moving on to Season 30 in our Know Our Opponents deep dive in the A Swallow / Moo Shield. First up is the Round 2 encounter between the two sides, where plenty of the current roster made their first appearance in this rivalry. T2B_, Stoods, Ashman OG, Matt_352, VandoHawk and Bradesmaen were all additions to the Dragon roster, whilst FootyGuy13 had joined the Warriors - the old and the new then combined to create a rather chunky 73 page match thread. I also believe this is where the Karens reference was first made, as the fallout from the previous match was still present.

Now you'd think I'm cherry-picking out these Dragon wins, but they legitimately just keep on happening! This time it was one of those see-sawing affairs as the lead changed an impressive 11 times throughout the day. Apart from a few minutes either side of half time, the lead was no higher than 14 points in either direction until the Dragons kicked seven of the last ten goals of the game to emerge victorious by 22 points. The Warriors just ran out of puff when it mattered most.

The hero was yours truly, with a BOG effort of 30 disposals, 8 tackles and 4 goals the clear difference between the two sides. T2B_ also showed great promise with a 19 disposal + 3 goal effort, whilst Bradesmaen had the ball on a string with 40 disposals, 6 marks, 3 tackles and a goal. Strigoi (14 hitouts, 23 disposals and a goal) was far too good for harry000 in the ruck battle, and Ljp86 was on the WING as he accumulated 31 disposals, 7 marks and 3 tackles: very ominous for this Sunday! For the Warriors the standouts were BEEG (34 disposals, 10 marks) and Dinsdale (30 disposals, 8 marks, 4 tackles) who gave great supply to NaturalDisaster and pantskyle up forward - both ending up with 3 goals.

I also noticed that this was a milestone game for Warriors legend Papa Juggs as he notched up game number 300 - those of you who know how much Warriors love milestone games should not be surprised at the result.
 
Time for the Raveneyes special:



First match I didn't post, we finally won. So I shut up again the next week, thinking I was bad luck. But we lost anyway.

I'm just starting to think we are actually sh*t at qootball. Surely I'm wrong. Yes, I called you Shirley.
