Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 9: Dragons FFC v West Coast Wonders at Ljp86's Lair

[Giant YoYo]

Wonders,

I was wondering how to announce this weeks team selection.

So, as Pugsley suggested, I put my helmet on and got my crayons out i have no creative bone in my body and used chatgpt

Enjoy a poem, I spent hours to create

West Coast wonders, hearts ablaze,
A team of stars in golden haze.
In every role, with pride they stand,
A mighty force across the land.

At the back, a trio strong:
Ressies SwampPig leads along.
NinjaSwan with swiftest flight,
Oisin_the_Goat, a fearless sight.

Half backs bring the solid wall—
SSwans2011, standing tall.
AnUltimateRessie, fierce and bold,
croweater 41, a grip of gold.

Centres power through the game,
DenieD ’s wild winds now claim.
Giant YoYo ’s endless spin,
BigChippa52 dives right in.

Half forwards shift to meet the call,
HARPSichord, with skill enthralls.
akkaps charges, fast and true,
Cubs2Lions roars anew.

Full forwards with their keen intent,
jezzajay, unstoppable, bent.
BFew ’s kicks fly like a blade,
BallaratBulldog in each raid.

Followers, the heart of the beat,
dogs105 moves with quickened feet.
Pamcake1 rises with the sun,
ClarkeM ’s power, second to none.

Interchange with eager fire:
Rubber Arm ’s force won't tire,
JT_the_Man, a secret plan—
Ready to rise, lead the clan.

Changes made, the shift begins:
DenieD to wing, for daring spins.
Cubs2Lions now half-forward fleet,
dogs105 in ruck complete.
HARPSichord joins the forward cast,
As wonders surge to stand steadfast.

West Coast’s finest, in their stride,
Their spirit strong, their heads held high.
Each selection, a tale of might—
Onward they march into the fight!​

Unnecessary waste of internet bandwidth.

Even though I'm on unlimited, I can't help think, it's such a waste.

Hopefully writing the poem took your mind off it a little bit.

 

[Pamcake1]

Great intro from Paul Hogan in one of his first ever programs when he broke out of just being a small part of ACA and got his own evening show.
He is not as polished as he then became with experience.
Classic Australia in a vid circa mid 70's.

Wonders probably haven't had a decent ruck since... oh I don't know, Bonz?

The Wonders were the greatest for rucks.

They had U2tigers the king of that position

 

[HARPSichord]

The Wonders were the greatest for rucks.

They had U2tigers the king of that position

But all reigns must end and Bono has come to his end days.

 

[U2tigers]

The Wonders were the greatest for rucks.

They had U2tigers the king of that position

Those were the days

 

[T2B_]

But all reigns must end and Bono has come to his end days.

Like the sim suddenly decided to have a ruck equalization policy

 

[HARPSichord]

Like the sim suddenly decided to have a ruck equalization policy

We need a Royal Commission.
