Official Match Thread Season 23 Preliminary Final - Fighting Furies v Las Vegas Bears at Punt Road [MOTR]

[Damp Squarie]

Ahhh the Bears, now there's something different.

We're a different team since that new batch of coke.

 

[Nuffers]

Let's just get this one out of the way.

 

[This Is Anfield]

A warm welcome to the Bears, not the worst opposition at all.
Congratulations on making it this far and there is no shame, no shame at all, in losing to the Furies in a preliminary final.
So, enjoy the last week of your season.

And we need another bear pelt for the hunting lodge.

 

[DemonJim]

**** you blacky

 

[Wacky Tiger]

You really expect me to read through that drivel? Your ineptitude is jaw-dropping, everyone to have read that preview is now stupider for having read it.

Why were you here again? We dont play the Bombers yet

 

[akkaps]

Let's do this.

 

[AngryRanga]

And we need another bear pelt for the hunting lodge.

All the turncoat bears (brahj, Doctor Collossus, MKMatty, OES) are already hollow, no blood, no guts, no heart. Probably an easier job for your lodge.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I didn't sign up for finals but I'm born to play in them.

Furies by plenty.

 

[Damp Squarie]

Let's do this.

Let's do that.

 

[Helen Wheels]

If (when) the end of match report says I won the match up I would like #impunity to troll after we beat the Tiges this season.
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone and welcome to this Preliminary Final between

V

Congratulations to both teams on making it to the pointy end, and especially to The Furies for setting up the semi final clash between the Rats and the Bombers which was a rousing success.

This is sure to be a colossal bout between with one team looking for back to back premierships and another looking for a record sixth flag.

The Furies - Season 23

Fighting Furies 17 12 5 -1812 1483 122.18 48

The Furies' regular season 12 wins were good enough for the minor premiership, two games and percentage clear on top. It was an outstanding season on the field and the Furies backed it up prolifically off the field too with another strong set of posting numbers - including Grockadoc racking up 1000 posts in Round 1, and NaturalDisaster averaging 95 posts a game.

The Furies also welcomed back Mobbs Medalist and resident Sim dick kissee Wacky Tiger who has unsurprisingly again had a dominant season finishing 3rd in tackles and averaging 18 touches a game.

Captain and perennial Qooty numpty _Cayz_ defied all odds to turn out an outstanding season in the ruck, finishing 1st in kicks, 5th in hitouts and 7th in disposals.

Rookie HumanMeatball had a decent rookie season and we look forward to more ShitTruck of the Week™ in season 24 and beyond.

The Bears - Season 24

Las Vegas Bears 17 10 7 - 1832 1643 111.50 36

There was no premiership hangover for the reigning champs. The loss of stalwart and spiritual leader brahj was offset by the loss of DemonJim and the Bears responded with 10 wins - good enough for 4th position on the ladder.

Skippers Matera92 and Dingster did the damage on the field and steadied the ship in the absence of the previous leadership. Dingster finished top 15 in tackles and was rewarded by finishing 6th in frees for. The more flashy of the duo, Matera92, finished top 10 in disposals and kicks.

SpaceClef backed up a strong rookie season finishing 10th in kicks and 14th in disposals.

Doctor Gero was the highest goal
scorer in the Fred of posters who dont share their name with the medal, kicking 63 goals. He was also the hero last round, sinking the boot into the Hawks

Avatarp had an underrated rookie season and we can look forward to more quality in the seasons to come.

Key Match Ups

kane249 v _Cayz_

Kane is coming off a poor game in the Ruck where he had 20 disposals and 10 hit outs against Elton Johns Wig who was probably best on ground in a losing side. He will need to bring his A game against _Cayz_ (the self proclaimed All SFA ruckman)

JackNah_8 v Matera92

JackNah_8 will be full of confidence after an easy day out against spookism and the rest of the straight sets Swamprats. It is sure to be a different story against Matera92 and the Bears this round.

Sterge v Doctor Gero

Fury v Bear. Full back v full forward. Salt water v spring water.

quality v quantity

Blacky's Tip
Bears win by 24 only for it to be realised that Millky95 ****** up the sim. Furies win by 1 in the resim.

Good luck to both teams

Exacory. Let us try the experiment on Doctor Gero. (Can provide remote castle, laboratory and thunderstorm.)

 

[kane249]

Mate you got your ass handed to you on a plate last week by a rookie. Just lucky you had team mates that picked up the slack.

You are no chance.

And intimidating? You were as intimidating as a packet of Tim Tams.

don't bring everything. We still have next week. Hence why the scrubbing brush and can opener are staying at home.
