Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 01: Gold City Royals v Roys FFC at The Golden Throne

[Uncle_Leo]

I can't believe the Roys are still a thing. I offered to save them once, they ignored me

They are irrelevant beyond belief

Meh if we did fade away into obscurity I'm sure someone would dig us up and play us again regardless.
Don't you think?

To be fair, everyone ignores Norf fans. Sorry

I haven't even got the grass out from between my teeth from last season

Hopefully you have got your teeth out of the grass and this thought makes me wonder about the older footy players and their dentures. I remember the Cood a beens naming a team of toothless players and Peter Dacios was the team mascot as he had only two teeth knocked out that week end.

Most would see players today put their mouth guards in the sock when shooting for goal. I wonder if players of yester year, put their dentures in the same spot. Lower dentures wobble around something terrible

 

[DERRINALPHIL]

And Hi team mates and Royals. A new season is like taking up with an old girl friend. You may be excited but you realise it will probably end up like last time.

 

[Crimson Azure]

Royals, I've got the key points for the team game plane lads.

1. If you've got the ball get it to me.
2. If I've got the ball, shepherd and block for me so I can run the ball and have a shot on goal.
3. If the opposition has the ball, get it and give it to me.
4. Kick outs. If I pass the ball back into play to you, shelter in position until I run by and give me the ball. The 1/2 give and get should also be applied in all stoppages. If for some reason you take possession of the ball at a stoppage, see game plan point 1.
5. If I decide not to contest the ruck, all taps are directed to me.
6. If I am called to the bench, the closest player to the bench will leave the ground in my behalf.

Any questions?

Prematurely.

I feel ya.

Full Forward for me Mobbsy. I plan to kick 100 this year

I think we believe we are irrelevant. You nearly got it right. Keep trying . You may get there.

How do we get the ball? Asking for a mate.

If I'm anywhere near it just shepherd and block for me, I'll do the rest.

UL do you live in North Melbourne? I used to when I was poor and, even though I am not poor any more, I often detour through North Melbourne on the way home to check out the old haunts.

I remember McIntosh getting a tooth knocked out in a State game . Smiled less brightly and kept on playing

Meanwhile a trainer kept looking for the tooth

To be fair, everyone ignores Norf fans. Sorry

Even the umpires if you believe some of the galoots after yesterday's game at Stan Lee Memorial Stadium

We are so a Thing! Come a little closer and say that we aren’t.

Hopefully it's not the same game plane that the Dee's caught to WA

Welcome back mate!

 

[Zevon]

Good afternoon Royals and Roys. It vexes me greatly to have to snap out of my languor and participate in a match thread so soon after last season ended but here I am

With such a well constructed game plan, I can't see us losing a game tbh.

You'll have to wait till next week before that run starts but good luck

 

[Zevon]

Not going to lie, hurts seeing Zevon in an team that's not the Rillas

Ah I knew a poster called Elmer once, pretty sure he was a team mate! But he didn’t go by the name Hauser so now I’m confused

Anyway if you’re half as good on the qooty field as the other one then you’re all right with me!

Brenton Davy this one has harder work ethics than you do.

I sense greatness in this one Cadsky
Magnificent recruiting by you… or by whoever you’re stealing the credit from
