Hello,

An update following Round 20. Flogstar ahead of Triggered Tiger and AvantGardner tied in second. Third has become a two flog race between FOTY FITW and FOTY DVB.

Collingwood taking out the "constructors championship" so to speak, so far.



Current Standings:

1. Saveloy Rockstar:

  1. FISTO’s Premiership hangovers vs zackah’s Don't screw this ups ft. STuP18 melting as they slide out of the 8 for the 2nd year running - Geelong win and pointedly do not go out of the 8
  2. Happy GeeLOL go out of the 8 month everyone! ft. STPer18 melting :) - STPer18 doesn't melt, nor do Geelong go out of the 8
  3. Which AFL team are the biggest chokers of the 21st century - spoiler alert - it's Collingwood
  4. Can GeeLOL or 13thmond win at least 10 games this season? I say NO - Geelong have won 10 games as of this post with 5 or so easy games in the run home.
2. Triggering Tiger

  1. Post here if you think Carlton will fail next season - they'll at least make finals (unfortunately)
  2. Geelonks march down south of the ladder in 2024 - currently Top 4. Would need a miracle to miss finals and/or finish below the reigning premiers (lol) and can't finish below Richmond.
  3. Our tall timber will dominate the comp in 2024 - currently 18th behind Norf :$
3. AvantGardener

  1. Pictures of people and things that can outcoach Ken Hinkley - AvantGardner - Turns out Ken can outcoach Crazy Vossy
  2. Post here if you have been on over 50 points at quarter time in 2024 - AvantGardner - bonus point for GWS's comeback. This thread is also the one that inspired the David King medal. So perhaps it should count for two entries, such was the extreme nature of the backfire.
3. Footy Is The Win

  1. Naicos is gonna have a sore neck next week - Footy is the Win - the thread was posted (and backfired) before the 2023 Grand Final but the backfire was confirmed after the final siren when the Norm Smith was awarded to Bobby Hill :$
  2. NAI50S: Reigning Owen3 Premiers Collingwood Flagpies V St.Spoon - Footy Is The Win - lol beaten by Ross The Boss
3. Elmer_Hauser
  1. Vossy's Fantastic 4 (Charlie, Walsh, Cripps, Weiters) Blue Flaggers vs Ken Hinkley and The Superfriends from Marvel Stadium !
  2. Bye Bye Steggles - Who will Tyson Stengle play for in 2025 after he tells Geelong to GAGF ? - Elmer_Judd - Stengle signs on practically for life. Then almost ends his life by drinking vodka out of the premiership cup at a Geelong nightclub after beating Norf.
4. STPer18, Dinsdale (subject to results), zackah, sth_melbdimmies etc
  1. Legendary Coach Chris Scott allows maggot umpires to meet with him in Geelong. - STPer18 - Not sure why this was backfired, investigation pending
  2. The Mighty Hawks end the Collywobble season, again - Dinsdale - The Hawks didn't end the Wobblers season then and there, but have the opportunity to do so in a few weeks. Investigation pending.
  3. Post here if you concede less than 85 points per game (the not shithouse defence lounge fred) and zackah - zackah - Er, Essington turned up
  4. Footscray and Bravery™ - sth_melbdimmies
  5. the #top2 bound proletariat edge vs. the bourgeoise demons - mcgrath_truther - because a certain goat mod changed the fred title to :mad:
i'll happily accept my backfire.
 
There are a lot of Elmo freds to get through so let's start with this one:


Aside from the title, the OP is classic Tanker hubris:



Reality:

  • Tankers were not flag favourites and haven't been for at least 25 years
  • They lost by 12 points, a lazy 98 point deficit from the prediction
  • Briggs and Hogan BOG, Cripps might get 1 sympathy vote if he's lukcy
  • 'King' (lol) Chuckles booted 1.2, not even averaging 3 a game

Diagnosis: BACKFIRE

Running score: 2
No backfire tag, no backfire

Doesn't need to be, he still holds a winning hand. You were on one if your usual hiatuses so you're excused for not knowing







That is a lay down misère right there


How do you expect to backfire a post about an award?

Easy. It will be a backfire when the poster you specifically created the award for, and said has an unassailable lead, doesn't win it :shrug:
 
Not that he'll need them but Elmo also has a couple of jokers...


Doubt the Bummers will make finals but a Bloos-Dongers EF would be delicious


Both a chance if they finish top 4

QED
 
Hey OP, I've heard that the David King Medal is a lot like the Brownlow or the Rising Star, in that those who get suspended during the year are no longer eligible for this fine award.
Can you confirm?

I would think a suspension is almost a prerequisite for this most prestigious of awards.
 
Don’t forget to add this one to the tally OP :)
