Official Match Thread Season 36 Round 1: Mount Buller Demons v Sin City Swamprats @ Snow Dome (MOTR)

[Tarkyn_24]

The idea that I’ve played every game at full forward is flawed.

I started my career in defense and spent much of my career in and out of love with the league, being relegated to pockets and flanks when my posting warranted the demotion.

Posting well enough to warrant my preferred position, full forward, shouldn’t be a criticism. It is weird and flawed to devalue the 1000 goals because I’ve played in the full forward position a fair bit - of course I have! That’s the bloody achievement!

Though I’ve had more seasons at FF than Tarks has, he’s also played 161 more games than me. I respect how good he has been across multiple positions and I love the rivalry. I’ve always been a Tarks fan.

Tarks is rightfully on top of the goal kicking despite not being a FF because he’s had longevity and has done it without trying - worth celebrating.

I’m the best pure full forward. I’ve only played 378 games because when I was inactive I retired (a few times) and spent lots of time off rather than compiling meaningless stats.

Both Tarks and I have had very different career paths and strengths to get there, but in a few hours we will be the only 1000 goal kickers in the league. Let’s celebrate that.

That's not very nice. I did my best. Here's the PM to jog your memory:

okey,

Come to the Demons to kick your 1,000th goal. We're currently renovating The Snow Dome, so it should be in brilliant condition by the time you get to the milestone in Season 39.

Did you post this thread before or after you got a response?

The Demons have had one of the greatest off-seasons of all time

Details to come, but boy oh boy wowee! Can't see us winning only two games and having statistically the worst season of all time. And I don't make these threads lightly. Thanks, everybody - please post your well-wishers and jealous taunts here. Get ready for those details! :thumbsupv1:

I call WA home and play for WA but this league and a certain other one operates on Vic Bias time so I leave it at that

You mean that time that the majority of Australians oprate at? And everyone has been aware of in the first 34 SFA seasons?

 

[sante]

Did my normal routine the night before a game and got totally ****ed up at a 21st so I’m raring to go

 

[sausageroll]

Well, surely they still go on the tally, right? How else would okeydoke7 get this far in his career?

Credit where credit's due. okeydoke7 truly deserved to kick his 1000th goal in Season 35.

Oh wait....

 

[DERO]

So is this the place to talk about the elephant in the room?

Yeah, I've got some stuff to catch up on this afternoon but I'll keep checking in.

Probably just to check that Headless has done it again and has prevailed.

I prepared by shit posting, drinking and watching TV.

I've been warming up with some light housework today, gets the blood flowing and puts me in a bad mood

F*ck the schedule, post the game now.

F*ck the schedule, post the game now.

The sooner we get this game done, the closer you are to your 1,000th goal.

We're all changing our busy schedules for you, okey. Hope it's worth it.

 

[okeydoke7]

Watching the Saints beat Carlton AND my 1000th unfolding all at the same time will be quite something.

Never heard of those teams. Where do they fit in Kennedy Parker's YouTube tier list of Sweet-based competitions?

So I have enough time to go and do a thesis between it starting and finishing?

What would you write about, DERO?

 

[DERO]

Hi Headless

 

[Headless]

What would you write about, DERO?

Hi Headless

Interesting area. Don't mind it. Probably a fair gap in the literature.

 

[DERO]

What would you write about, DERO?

I just did a google search to make sure but apparently “chickens prefer beautiful people” has already been done.

I am open to suggestion, Less.
