Official Match Thread Season 28 Grand Final - Dragons FFC vs Mount Buller Demons at SFA Park

[philreich]

Spot on. Ambrose frankly terrified me, even as a spectator. Sadly the days of the Windies producing demon fast bowlers is gone. Cricket is the poorer for it.

The lineage really began with Wes Hall who famously bowled the last over of the tied Test in Brisbane. Somewhere there will be a recording of Wes describing the over. It takes about ten minutes and is fekkin lolworthy. I met Wes and he was a wonderful bloke as is my cricketing hero Garry Sobers.

Apologies AceAndy and manangatang - got distracted by the cricket yesterday.

We are now almost on the eve of what could become a famous Grand Final. Both teams would be deserving winners. Each has stars on every line.

I have a real sense that the game will go to the wire. Will it take a snapped behind to determine the result?

My prediction is that Ace will, at the 19 minute mark of Q4, go on a Ray Gabelich type run (see 1964 GF in the minor VFL comp). Ace will remember to bounce just in time and roost a massive goal from the wing.

Scores will be levelled. Play then will go from end to end...

Until ultimate Deestroy Medallist Callums_Guns rips the ball from the confused and overwhelmed veteran DemonGym, takes a run and delivers a hospital handpass to star recruit moginie who snaps a behind just as the siren blows.

I've heard Wes Hall describe that last over - it's one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Particularly when his skipper says, "I'm watching you Winfield, and if you bowl a no ball, you will never land in Barbados again!!!"

Demons sign the original 240kg love muscle

Take a step back Tigerturbulance

I weigh in at 245kg l shall hold my ground

Aye. It is a cracking yarn and that line is really hilarious. At the end of that series, the Windies were so popular Melbourne put on a massive farewell parade to thank them.

Spot on coons - he'll be our number 3 for the next decade.

Hope he persists with his leggies. They are more than handy.

As long as he can catch off his own bowling - that dropped catch in Adelaide was embarrassing.

No doubt!

I reckon the Strigoi wins coz Shaun the Sheep is ******* awesome,

Darn tootin’!! Deceptively muscular and strong beneath all that fluffiness.

Yep... it was a soda.

 

[Strigoi]

Appropriate - I'm currently wearing my golfing socks: I've got a hole in one.

The best type of jokes. Thank you for making me laugh so hard in the morning.

Really?

Y'know, really?

Would you mind giving one or two factual examples instead of just repeating garbage like a Fox News political analyst?

Happy to assist here. Suggest you ask Mr 74% how the Demons have been favoured and point 2 listen to the podcast where your captain concedes the Demons have had a 'rich vein of form' over the last 3 seasons.

Worried you are Cruisin' for a bruisin' Ace.

Worried you are Cruisin' for a bruisin' Ace.

No doubt we will need to bring our A game on Sunday but i am confident the plucky Dragons will overcome.

I bought a Christmas card for a guy at work earlier this week. It read, "For Christmas, I wished upon a star. Your present should arrive in about 3 and a half light years."

I'm quite triggered by this.
A light-year is a measurement of distance... not time.

 

[DemonJim]

Another statistic, I have never lost a Grand Final.

A better statistic. I've played in 4 Grand Finals. I have never lost.

No. You give me one. Or two.

Don't dick around with "you should ask....". Actually provide examples.

And I've listened to the podcast, and apart from some lovely background noises from the local birdlife there is nothing in particular that backs up your assumption.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

A better statistic. I've played in 4 Grand Finals. I have never lost.

Of course that was until The Filth Wizard exposed your true name of DemonGym. While I have backed the Dees, I am concerned Feelthy's revelation will have an adverse impact on your game and your streak and potentially narrow the result.

Some thought has gone into it and pretty accurate with game play, some of your better worked B52 !!!

Enjoy your day !!

**** off
you didn't give me beez votes

 

[Strigoi]

Alright, Dragons, this is our last full team practice before the big game. If we all put in the hard yards we can be done in time for the start of the cricket game's day two. We can relax with a beverage (non-alcohol, of course), sit around the locker room and discuss strategies for our big game on Sunday, and watch our batters continue for another day (hopefully). Then get a good rest tonight. Stick to your personal training regime on Saturday morning - we have a tough task ahead of us. Then Sunday...GAME DAY! WoooHooo!
GO DEMONS!

 

[DemonJim]

Haha the Kissed On The Dick Demons. Funny coz it is true

You sound bitter.

You reckon the Dragons would easy that one easy hey?

You absolute buffoon. Can we get someone that speaks the language next time please?

The family will be themselves.
