Official Match Thread Season 38 Round 17: West Coast Wonders vs Gold City Royals @ The Colosseum

[Pamcake1]

It's been a big week of hatches (9lb baby great nephew) & dispatches (BF's mother in-law) for me this week.
The matches part of that saying, is in 2 weeks time (nephew).
And Xmas is now 40 days away.
Busy week with lot's of phone time apart from the usual responsibilities.
Looking forward to the weekend, wishing all a good one ahead.

I just ignore birthdays and Xmas and unless the funeral is held up the road from me - I wont go

I'm not a fan of Xmas or NYE as both are over rated on the expectations and marketing moments.
One year for Xmas I told everyone I was going somewhere else and stayed home quiet and did nothing. That was peaceful!
For kids though it is a big something.

god it must be tough to support a club that is terrible. I feel bad for the people in this video.

It's actually quite great because you aren't losing by 80 in grand finals, you're losing by 80 in the regular season and no one gives a s*** about it in 3 weeks.

 

[Roonescape]

Really makes you appreciate every win like it's your last.

Do you want to hear about how tough it is going for Geelong?

Not particularly.

At least your team gives you a semblance of hope…

Would you come to my funeral?

 

[grumbleguts]

Being a Freo fan I hate all things West Coast, as such I've been working on my marking this week, which, for a teacher, is surprisingly shoddy. So kick it on the ground and I may deliver another sterling 3 touches, 2 goals 1 behind effort. Go Royals!

You're marking wrong if you are working on your marking. Stand at the top of the stairs and throw the work forwards. Mark according to the step they land on. The A's will make it all the way to the bottom.

 

[GreyCrow]

Would you come to my funeral?

Did I get points?

 

[Pamcake1]

Good morning all.
Happy Saturday, looking forward to kicking the stuffing out of you all tomorrow.

When you find my Wikipedia page, I’ll give you double points

Quiet thread. Must be a Royals match

Even the Dragons match wasn't this quiet.
Snails pace hey.

I don't even remember when that was. Was that last week?

 

[Pamcake1]

I don't even remember when that was. Was that last week?

It was round 5 or 6 (at a guess).
This qualifies for the quietest match thread of our season so far.
I know it's difficult with the 'silly season' upon our door step but any real 'engagement' is sorely lacking...there is no WW game on atm so I don't know why it is so.

Well done Royals our job is done

Pat yourselves on the back

What, you want to be known as the most boring team in the comp?

More the fact we dont care

There is a difference in engaging and spamming

 

[Pamcake1]

Hmm lunchtime.
Cheese, bacon and chutney toasted sandwiches are looking very likely.

The engagement so far has been minimal.
I say good morning everyday and only once has that been acknowledged.
There's been some in-house Royal chat that very obviously and purposely excluding.
There hasn't been any spamming of any note.
If you don't care then why exist.
You have a lively Rookie who's obviously tried but I don't see that they or anyone else are encouraged to participate.
Maybe you've grown stale but shutting people down is not the way to grow the SFA but it is sure as eggs is a recipe to put it on life support.

Here's a tune that might be appropriate to the Royals current ennui.
