Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 4: Dragons FFC v East Side Hawks @ Ljp86's Lair

[DragoDelph]

Well you're getting closer by the moment to both your 18th birthday and eventual death

The question remains, which will arrive first?

 

[DragoDelph]

Wait. that sounded like a threat.

 

[Pickitt]

Well you're getting closer by the moment to both your 18th birthday and eventual death

oh ):

 

[Bonz]

oh ):

#sorrynotsorry

But everyone's death comes closer by the second.

Except mine of course, but I'm immortal.

 

[Bonz]

The question remains, which will arrive first?

I have always imagined Pickitt would fall off his perch on his first major night out.

Probably will accidentally pick a fight with a ballet dancer or something.

 

[Pickitt]

orry

But everyone's death comes closer by the second.

No ):

Can't be many of your 9 lives left though

 

[Bonz]

Can't be many of your 9 lives left though

Actually I got told I could multiply them online.

All I have to do is send a few hundred each month to a some prince in Nigeria!

Absolute bargain

 

[Callums_Guns]

Actually I got told I could multiply them online.

All I have to do is send a few hundred each month to a some price in Nigeria!

Absolute bargain

The same price from Nigeria told her she could win GOLD for a few hundred as well

 

[SM]

Hoping for a Hull relegation this season

Quite likely.

 

[T2B_]

Absolute bargain

I told my online lover Jennifer Aniston about this and she just laughed and said "what a sucker!"

Round 4
Dragons FFC v East Side Hawks

Fresh off the bye, the Dragons will be looking to find some consistent form, hoping to avoid the week off being book-ended by two losses, and what better time and place than at home on Dragon Isle against a Hawks unit that is struggling for consistent form themselves.

The East Side Hawks will be looking to make a statement away from home after falling just short of a late comeback against the Wonders at home and will need all of their sizeable number of veterans to help lead them to victory in the more hostile conditions away at Ljp's lair.

The Season so Far

A tumultuous off-season awaited the Dragons after Season 37 with multiple exits from the club and the perma-banning of heavy lifter BigDav, and a relatively quiet recruiting period resulting in the pick-up of former fury Pickitt however the posting presence of the club is still strong with names like DragoDelph, Bonz and T2B_ alongside Greenery and who can forget the club icon the ground is named after in Ljp86 .

Season 38 started out strongly but a loss to the Demons, followed by the Bye, has halted the progress of the Green and Black, however they are given an excellent opportunity to regain momentum this week.


Players to Watch

- T2B_

The Dragons Centre Half Back has been consistent in his two games and a force in match threads. A strong performance against the Bye.
TOTW Selections: 1
DT Points this Season: 114 (Club 7th)

- Ljp86

The man the Dragons home ground is named after, The Dragons ruckman knows this oval better than anyone and could be the deciding factor on Sunday.
Hit-outs this season: 16
Tackles this season: 7 (Club 2nd)
Frees For this Season: 6 (Club 1st)


Prediction

The Dragons by this <-------------> much

The Season so Far

It's been an up and down season so far for the East Side Hawks, despite a successful off-season that saw SM , PhenomenalV1 and RU_ join the club, 3 well seasoned league veterans, but also a wealth of experience in returning players haydo , eth-dog and Riviat as well. Despite this and the Hawks icons in Biggie Itsmyshow and larrikin , it has been up to Callums_Guns and ruck sensation Strigoi to carry most of the weight.

The Hawks are no stranger to experience with some massive names from Sweet F.A history in the ranks, but will need a boost from these legends both off the field and on the field to return to the winners list this week and hopefully put together a strong season.


Players to Watch

- Strigoi

One of the best Rucks in the Comp this season, a top performer in match threads, the Hawks will need a big game from Strigoi to get over the line this week.
TOTW Selections: 1
Hit-outs this Season: 40 (5th)
Tackles this Season: 9 (Club 4th)

View attachment 2077736- Tarkyn_24

The Fred Medal leader with 21 goals, Tarks has been hungry this season, one of the other players you'd expect a big game to be necessary for, but the good news for East Side fans is his shown he's certainly up for it this season.
Goals this Season: 21 (1st)
DT Points this Season: 276 (3rd)

The Hawks by this <-------------> much

The same price from Nigeria told her she could win GOLD for a few hundred as well

From what I could understand she had pretty much accepted her fate as soon as she turned up on stage so gambled

Look she can always say she is an Olympian so I think she should be proud.

 

[Bonz]

I told my online lover Jennifer Aniston about this and she just laughed and said "what a sucker!"

Jennifer Aniston?

I thought you were hooking up with Miranda Kerr?

 

[Bonz]

Quite likely.

Wait legitimately? I know your form wasn't brilliant at the end of the last season, but you should still be mid table?

 

[SM]

More just in terms of the number of players we've lost and the issue with implementing the new style. Think we should ultimately be ok though.

I would still be surprised if you went down.

Think you should have enough depth.

Haha nah we've lost about 15-20 players and have only brought in 6. Our bench on the weekend was mainly u21s. Depth is one thing we don't have. Our first XI is ok though.

I need to review your puts, didn't think it was quite that drastic...

I need to review your puts, didn't think it was quite that drastic...

Morton Delap carvalho Ohio zaroury Philogene Greaves Tufan sharp Christie Traore Docherty Allsop Ingram Connolly all played significant minutes last season or were significant senior players, throw in that they scored 65 of our 68 goals between them.
