To be fair, that's the glare I give most Collingwood supporters.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Great performance Dragons! A perfect platform to start the season. PhenomenalV1 and Greenery were dominant up forward, whilst Strigoi, prpl_jss and big_icky had great games in the middle.

Thanks for the enjoyable week, Royals - a much better vibe between us than last season. Hopefully we'll meet again in the finals.

And kudos to philreich for posting another Dragons win!

 

[Strigoi]

I got more possessions than pie?? I spent most of that match polishing the pine

I will check it later and see how good of a job you did.
We have standards to keep.

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Great team effort today guys and girls. It’s days like this you really feel everyone contributed and there’s really no need to get too stuck into the statistics or anything like that. Woo Round 1 win!

 

[Pie 4 Life]

I got more possessions than pie?? I spent most of that match polishing the pine

I was just polishing my pine enjoying the spectacle… wait what?

 

[Pie 4 Life]

Looks like I chose the right team

To honour your arrival I decided to have an identical statline to you in this match

 

[serial_thrilla]

Also, according to Headless our very own T2B_ was the second best full back in the league this week. Great game skipper to keep nahnah to two goals.

 

[Cadsky]

Well that's a shame. A good close game. Well done Dragons.and thank you for a good week. It started a little slow but we got the vibe going eventually. Good luck for the rest of the season.

bad luck today Royals. I'll probably have to work on my 1v1 defensive game if I want to hold my spot at FB.

Match Over!

Bugger!!

Congratulations Dragons and thanks philreich fir posting. I shudder to think what training horrors Cadsky has in stone for us…

 

[grumbleguts]

I got more possessions than pie?? I spent most of that match polishing the pine

This is a euphemism Pinocchio uses a lot.

 

[grumbleguts]

We can always visit your next game thread…

I'd like that very much.

 

[Cadsky]

I'd like that very much.

Strigs is one of the good ones

 

[grumbleguts]

Strigs is one of the good ones

I know. We share the Hawthorn board. But you guys have to learn how this orange font works somehow.

 

[Strigoi]

Strigs is one of the good ones

 

[DJ75]

Too close that one

 

[T2B_]

Also, according to Headless our very own T2B_ was the second best full back in the league this week. Great game skipper to keep nahnah to two goals.

Well, I was the 2x running All-SFA CHB, so just translating things to my new stopper role I guess

Also one of the goals was from a soft free

 

[T2B_]

Anyway thanks for the week Royals, and thanks as always for philreich for posting.

Great win Dragons, and a great way to kick off the season. Hope our rookies King Tenz , Drizzy and big_icky enjoyed it and got a good taste of Qooty

 

[Smartys Power]
