I can play smoke on the water. Im also a musician

Exactly. I expect nothing lucid from you at this hour.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Tin a rag? Sin a mag?
Coming up blank

Maybe if I show you my premiership medal it'll help you work it out

 

[Ant Bear]

So, Roys and Swamprats.

We traditionally play for the Fatty Lumpkin Cup - is this still a thing or have the newish captains let this slide?

philreich TedDougChris ???

Yeah SarahSmiles - gross... I'd sooner leave the Rats before allowing a Gold Coaster in our team.

If I manage in a team with a Cats flog like Sparkle you can survive with a SUNS flog like Supersuns

Mobbs raised this the other day. Defs still a thing.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Ban the dab?

I've been trying, the legislation has a very vocal aardvark opposing it

 

[Supersuns]

Exactly. I expect nothing lucid from you at this hour.

I dont think you should expect it from me at any hour

Maybe if I show you my premiership medal it'll help you work it out

You have a physical medal?

 

[Sparkle]

I thought it was toothpaste. Eye sight is a bit poor these days

Oh really? I went to all that trouble finding a suitable anti-wrinkle cream and now it's being used as toothpaste.

Well, there's a plastic tube that says 'Colgate' on it somewhere in the basket. I've personally never used it for skincare but it does a pretty good job at cleaning teeth

 

[Dingster]

I'll bring mine and my Fred. One season at FF at the Swampies and one Fred. Hell you better watch out Mooch

 

[Sparkle]

If I manage in a team with a Cats flog like Sparkle you can survive with a SUNS flog like Supersuns

Is that what we've reverted to? Flog?

Well Nunez, I can tell you that from a Cats perspective it's been no treat hanging out with a Hawks flog like SarahSmiles

 

[Supersuns]

If it isn't it big bold block letters I ain't able to read it chief. My seeing eye dog is just as fat and lazy as me so he is no help

Did you not get mailed a physical jersey and shorts at the start of the season?!?!?!

This week is FattyLumpkin week, as begun by @Mobbs, @fitzroybowiedog, Millky95 and I in Season 22

Fellow Roys and Swamprats.
This week we play today in honour of the late, great Fatty Lumpkin. A pioneer of the SFA, Fatty played 182 games over 12 seasons with the Roys and was a member of the S4 premiership team. Fatty captained the Roys, led it's goalkicking and was an all round champion Roy. He swapped the Maroon and Gorilla for the Swampies where he also won All-SFA selection in S9. Fatty was a staple player for the Roys, prolific, humourous and easy to befriend. He swapped back to the Roys, and eventually retired in Season 16.
Most old players in the league will know the name, although he may be a mystery and an enigma to many of the newer arrivals.

The Captains of the Roys and the Swamprats remember Fatty as a true gentleman of the game, who embraced and sculptured the essence of the SFA. We ask all who play today to participate in the spirit of fun, friendship and fair play that is Fatty Lumpkin's legacy.

At the conclusion of the match, both Captains will name a player from the opposing team who embodied these qualities, and these two players will be joint winners of the Fatty Lumpkin Medal

Vale FattyLumpkin. Very friendly bloke both on and off the fantasy footy field. A champion Roy from the golden era, and a major building block of the Roys history. And A Swampie who burned bright in his short time for the Rats.​

Here it is.

 

[Mobbs]

Can we talk about the Roys' new logo? That sh*t is off the chain!

No idea what you're talking about.

Oh you want to go there?

 

[Supersuns]

Not going to lie i had a good giggle at your avatar

 

[philreich]

Yeah SarahSmiles - gross... I'd sooner leave the Rats before allowing a Gold Coaster in our team.

I'm surprised to even see one, let alone contemplate having one in our team!!! (I wonder where the other one is)

 

[Supersuns]

Ran out of fabric to make one big enough, we just paint mine on, with a industrial sized spray gun

I brought this up in our mouths only yesterday. It's a thing.

 

[Sparkle]

Anyway, I've got some good news. The awesome party bus that took us to wherever the Wonders play is available for the rest of the season, so I've booked it in for all our away trips (which includes this week!)

And Roys, I haven't left you out either. Inside the pantry (well, a cupboard that I've decided to turn into the pantry) was a very dusty but unopened box of All Bran. It's all yours. Enjoy!

Second time The Half Back has manipulated my avatar. It's a bit of a Stockholm Syndrome thing going on.

I like it that much I've incorporated it into a new av for myself. Go Roys!

 

[Sparkle]

How we think we look

How we actually look

And Sparkle , I haven't left you out, either!
