Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 01: Dragons FFC v Las Vegas Bears at Ljp86's Lair

[Gralin]

Welcome to a new season of qooty. The Sweet FA is back with the first round of the thirty eighth season!

Before we get into it lets quickly recap Season 37

When the siren sounded to end the Grand Final the Ophidian Old Boys won their second flag in just their fourth season in the league. OOBs rookie and EKA winner myblueroan also took home the Deestroy medal to go along with an All-SFA selection to cap off a fantastic first season.

pantskyle the all time league leader in MM votes won a second Mobbenfuhrer Medal with a mammoth 22 votes but was strangely overlooked for All-SFA selection

Brenton Davy won their first Fred Medal and got their first All-SFA finishing the season with 84 goals

Falconista went back to back in the Frankston Rover award, an amazing achievement, but wasn't done there also winning the Beez with 1510 votes

JoshWoodenSpoon won the TFLUA-Tiger award

The spoon was "won" by the Bombers despite both the Furies and Hawks receiving penalty points.

But now its Season 38 and the slate is wiped clean, every team starts with an equal chance of victory and every player with an equal shot at accolades

Matchup​

Both clubs played finals in Season 37 and both got a win in the finals but couldn't get past the second week. The Dragons have had a tumultuous off season and questions remain about whether all the problems are behind them or not.

The two clubs have played 33 times and the Bears hold a large 8 game lead in the series 20-12 with one game drawn.

Can the Bears make it 5 in a row or will the Dragons get their first win since Season 35?

Captains please note Team Sheets are due by 11:59pm AWST Thursday

And why so early? was looking forward to the Sweetlympics. FootyGuy13 gets no respect.

 

[DragoDelph]

Hey Bears. Love you guys.

Hi Dragons

Duck right off with Monday match threads.

Haha one year I did the R1 threads and released them on Tuesday afternoon (not evening) and people still complained

I think it’s impossible to please everyone

Love your work Gralin

I’m actually looking forward to these even more than the non-Aussie timezone friendly namesake

One last chance to combine with Dingster

It’s also an opportunity to see the Vampires in action .

 

[Millky95]

I love the smell of a new season. Who do I hit with my newest pan first?

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

I haven't looked at the record, and I don't plan to.

But the Bears have been dominating the hilly - Pie 4 Life Cup lately.

 

[Cap]

We are back, better than ever.

Bears FTW

Hi Dragons! Happy match day thread

 

[Bonz]

So I have always identified as a bear.

Not a Las Vegas bear, I don't have enough $$$ in my contract to live in Vegas.

But a Bear in my leathers, and this season "I'll be back" as the SFA's leading full forward.



You have all been warned.

I for one, love a good Monday match thread <3

What better way to start off the work week than slacking off and posting here.

 

[Bonz]

Bears FTW

Hi Dragons! Happy match day thread

You can start winning from round 2 my friend.

We have a reservation for a round 1 victory party after Sunday's game that's very important for us to attend (You're all invited btw).

Because of this we are going all out.

We will certainly come to a victory after party! Make sure the then theme is right and I'll bring the match day ball.....I'll be keeping after the match too.

Not sure why you would want the match ball after a loss, but each to their own.

The only match ball the Dragons had was the one after I won the flag with them, but I think Greenery pawned it off for Subway cookie money.

Come back when you've been banned for Bear-adjacent proclivities.

Probably just a matter of time

I don't expect you'll see the match ball much anyway.

maybe wear gloves on Sunday, don't want you to catch leather poisoning off me

No you won't, babe

Feels like you've spent more timing getting pretty for your after party than getting ready for qooty

But don't worry, us Bears love pretty

 

[JoshWoodenSpoon]

Time and effort, Bonzy. Time and effort.

 

[T2B_]

Monday match threads?

But if we're gonna see anyone first up I'm glad it's the Bears. How y'all doing?

 

[Pickitt]

Bears.
