We'll wake you up if we need you at all.

We'll wake you up if we need you at all.

If you could wake me up Thursday night so I can post the team sheet that would be great.

Also before I go back to bed, its good to see you back here again. I hope your health is on the improve.

Once upon a time, in the wild and wondrous land of Las Vegas, there lived a family of Bears who loved their qooty and banter. After a week of hibernating during the bye, the Bears were finally waking up, shaking off the cobwebs, and getting ready to defend their turf.

But what’s this? A cheeky Hawk by the name of Goldilocks has wandered into Bear country! She’s got fewer wins, more losses, but somehow has a better percentage than us. Sounds like she's been nibbling at someone else’s porridge if you ask me!

Goldilocks thought she could make herself comfortable in our house, flying around like she owns the place. She tried Papa Bear’s game style – too rough. She tried Mama Bear’s banter – too soft. And then she tried Baby Bear’s playbook – just right... or so she thinks!

Well, Goldilocks, welcome to the real story. This week, we're back home in Vegas, where the lights are bright, the drinks are strong, and the Bears don't take kindly to intruders. We’re ready to show you how we play qooty in our den!

So, Bears, let’s wake up from our slumber, get into the match thread, and show Goldilocks and her Hawks what happens when you mess with the Bears’ porridge! Time to clip their wings and remind them why they don’t belong in our story. Let’s make it a tale worth telling!

Welcome to Las Vegas, Callums_Guns and the East Side Hawks.

Strap in, Hawks, because you've touched down in the wildest city in the Sweet. Here in Vegas, we don’t just play qooty, we put on a show that would make even Elvis blush. While you’re here, make sure to catch the one and only Cocaine Cher performing live on stage, it’s a show like no other! And don’t miss the special guest appearance by Test Tickle, who will be riding Cher’s cannon across the stage. Yes, you heard that right.



Feel free to wander around, soak up the neon lights, and maybe try your luck at the casino tables. Who knows, you might even bump into Fat Tony offering "friendly" bets, or find Electronic_Renaissance debating the finer points of cutlery etiquette over a slice of pizza. Just make sure you don’t end up on the wrong side of the Chipmunk mafia, they’re serious about their nuts.

And if you're feeling adventurous, swing by our ‘All-You-Can-Eat Buffet’ challenge. Only warning: it’s catered by our very own Chef " I Dont Care." Survive his cooking, and you might just earn yourself a spot on the Wall of Fame.



Enjoy your stay, Hawks, but don’t get too comfortable. The Bears are ready to rumble and give you a thrashing come Sunday. And remember, what happens in Vegas… gets posted in the match thread!

I still can’t believe you found our way to us via an errant Tony Lynn 15 tag

That tag changed my life, I went from sitting in my parents basement staring at my PC watching the Godfather trilogy every day



to this



I guess not much has actually changed.

 

[TY24]

tony in future can you be sure to tag Goldilocks so she doesn’t feel left out?

Tarks is a lock for another bag this week if JWS has the job this week, might be best to move MWPP there so she has enough time to claim ALL-SFA FB

Your suggestion is straight out of the S27 prelim leadup

But I’ll back our emergency FB in

My allergy to handballs this season doesn’t work well with our platypus formation

If you make the switch Round.17 it maybe enough time as well

As did I fwiw. I was (and still am) high on the good stuff from Art Vandelay_ and our medical team so using that as an excuse

I woke up thinking I was a train (not a train passenger or driver , an actual train). Not even kidding.

Thanks for the tags tony and Callums_Guns

You're welcome MWPP

You’re assuming I won’t be dropped by then. Being promoted to FB is unlikely at this point . I’m more likely to warm the bench with our specialist gun I Dont Care

 

[MWPP]

Ew, Monday match thread? Chippy, I expect better from you

You can ultimately thank our admin fwiw. The OP thread says all threads should be up by noon AEST

Love your work and thanks again Chipmunk for stepping up at such short notice. I felt bad handing them over but it was 100% the right call

Come on who doesn't love a Monday match thread.

are you suggesting we won't be able to carry it through?

The way we're travelling the Bears have another bye this week

Over my time in the SFA , Ive heard that a lot.

It usually ends up in us giving the team their only win of the season.

So no, we don't expect the bye.

RIP JEJ.

Well the admin is an idiot then. Or did we lose our minds and make ClarkeM admin?

Come on who doesn't love a Monday match thread.

People who are smart
