Official Match Thread Season 37, First Preliminary Final - Roys FFC vs Sin City Swamprats at Brunswick Junction Oval

[SpecialBruce]

Finished for the season but with no end to the efforts, with SpecialBruce Mooch and DERRINALPHIL notching goals, everyone fighting it out to the final bell!

Great effort Roys! Wonderful season after the reboot.

Not bad Swampies. Keep that up and you might win the big one next week <3

Now that I have had a season back after a 20 year hiatus, and have been a revelation in the midfield, we will be premiers next year. We will get stronger as a team.

Feels pretty good considering our achievements for the season.

Not sure the suggestion of a merger carries much weight for two teams that performed so well.

 

[Pure Grunt]

Oh the pain.
Feels like the season went…

Thanks all

GO YOU MIGHTY RATS!!!

 

[jackster83]

And I had my two year old asleep on me for nearly two hours so missed the game.

R U OK?

I am always here for you

 

[jackster83]

What a monster game from GotTheGoodes with 37 touches and 2.0.

18 tackles philreich ?? Is that even legal? Must be a world record too - Hate ?

Well Roys what a ride it has been. We looked good early and I thought it was going to be our day. It's not often royboy2 gets a 3 minute hat-trick so that should have been the omen that spurred us on. But alas despite some amazing individual Roy performances, as a team we were overran in the second half. The score could have been much worse if the Swampies could kick straight. We can hold our heads up high for a good season which just ran out of juice a week early.

Rats ....... all I can say is congrats on getting to the big one. You certainly earned it today, despite okeydoke7's inaccuracy I can honestly say you guys are my second favourite team in the Sweet FA so if we can't get a crack at the trophy, I'll be cheering you guys on to lift it next week.

Oh ... what did you mean?

 

[damicky]

Oh ... what did you mean?

 

[jackster83]

I want to thank the Roys for a fine week. Always enjoy playing against you lot. Cheers.

 

[AnUltimateRessie]

Oh ... what did you mean?

I was trying to be impartial by saying go both teams in a fun and quirky way !

I reckon DemonJim had 18 tackles in the S29 grand final against us - it won him the Deestroy Medal, but we won by a point.

He didn’t play.

Just an impartial spectator.

I'll get 20 in a game next season.

Congratulations Swamprats!

You did it the hard way but you’ve made the Granny.

This has gotta sell some memberships and give your supporters something to celebrate.

Hope you can do them proud on the weekend.
