Official Match Thread Season 29 Grand Final - Sin City Swamprats vs. Mt. Buller Demons at SFA Park

Not that you’d be there for the next two if you had the choice...

I'm the Buddy Franklin figure. Win a flag a few seasons into my tenure at the Rats. Win another one in my final year, depart and the Rats win another 2 in a row

The ol' jump off a sinking ship trick, eh?

You could be the Gary Ablett figure. Win two flags at the Rats, and while you depart for an expansion side the seemingly depleted Rats go on and win arguably the best of their three premierships

It's what we're taught to do on our first day of training here. Sinking ship fleeing is a key skill for any Rat

Explains a lot about the status and outlook of your (preferably ex, apparently) club.

I was talking more in a Qooty sense. Emerging from a pack like a Rat fleeing from a sinking ship. No matter what happens, the Rat always gets out.
Also don't you worry about our club. 3 rookies received rising star nominations this season, the most of any club. Already got a few more lined up for next season and soon to be premiers. Never write the Rats off!

I've got the paint thinners ready to go.

Wow, you got me. No doubt the Rats will continue to dominate in all aspects of the qooty landscape.

You'll see said domination up close when we flog you on Sunday!
Also sarcasm looks about as good on you as Tom Lynch did in front of goal tonight

Got me again.

The old ‘footy’ banter. Got him on the ropes here ‘less.

Sit down. Be humble.

So, you're about to become a shadow of the player you were at the Rats...

 

[Sparkle]

No more seasons of hurt, no more need for dreaming

Wow. That's an incredibly good post



So, how does sarcasm look on me? Any better?

Only just, my hamstrings turn to cheese but I get a big pay check so you know yin and yang

Got me again.

Good one, got me on the ropes here. One blow and you can end my illustrious yet irrelevant Sweet F.A. career

Wow. That's an incredibly good post



So, how does sarcasm look on me? Any better?

Yeah, have you been working out?

Sit down. Be humble.

Practising the opening line of your speech after losing the grand final? It's a little harsh to the winning team. Maybe try "full credit to the boys, we tried but just weren't good enough. Well played Rats"

No.

So will the SFA hierarchy bow to the pressure from broadcasters and play the match on Sunday night, or will the traditional Sunday twilight fixture prevail?

 

[Sparkle]

Sit down. Be humble.

We haven't got this far being humble. We're showing spirit and fight, that's who we are at the Rats. No taking a backseat here

We're humble when it's appropriate, but we're up and about. It's Grand Final week. We've got a match to win

I was thinking 3am Monday would be a good timeslot. Really appeal to our international audiences y'know

I'm extremely humble, and proud of it.

I wish you absolutely nothing but the best. I hope you win.

It's okay, us Rats will be humble in victory. We'll make sure to acknowledge the opposition in our post match speech. It was a good effort by the Wonders Demons to make the GF.

Appreciate the support. We're doing it #SwampratStyle
