Not an obligation by any stretch, mate. These challenges are a light-hearted way for each rookie to express themselves however they best post - whatever style that may be. Some of the efforts so far are extremely different but awesome.Sorry Matty, but this type of posting is not really my style .....don't mean anything negative by that
Would love to see you have a crack, but don't stress if you're not keen. Can't say I'm not disappointed though.

Could we have a big shock and NO get submissions from a few key players?
Big opportunity it to stamp your claim at EKA/Rising Star I'd have thought OR smash the contenders.
After all, this is the ultimate test of creativity, wit and humour. Could even roll it out to the wider Sweet Community in time.

Scenario: Your side is in the grand final and you’ve had a pretty good day. It’s deep in the fourth quarter and you’re 5 points behind with time running out. You get the ball from the clearance and are streaming along the wing towards F50 when your FF calls for it 30 out. You have the chance to go for glory and win the game for your team or play it safe and deliver it to your teammate.
Part I. What’s going through your head at that moment?
Part II. Call the final moments of the Qooty Commentary and the direct aftermath of the result.
Bruce MaQavaney: Falcon wins the tap, gets it down with a clever looking hit to TIF. Now TIF, along the wing, still TIF, BigJoeD_ coming out hard, TIF's got a lovely long leg, will he caress it to Big Joey? Still TIF....
Takes another bounce, still with TIF, *Bruce dials up the macho* he might do what he did at the VCP! he couldn't could he? doesn't get the right bounce, could he do it? He's 50, 48 out, still looking for a 'loose man' inside 50, no he goes for it, he has... done it! Dennis!! where are you?! I need you RIGHT now! *muffled giggles in the box*
Ooooohhhh!! that is.... ooooohhhhhhh! That's what it is!
*SIREN SOUNDS*
Bruce MaQavaney: They've done it! *Gets really gruff again* Oh gee, Big Joey's filthy at TIF isn't he? I mean, you just get the feeling he REALLY wanted TIF to ram it down his throat at the end there, didn't he?! Oooohhhh! Lingy? Duqk? What do you reckon eh?
Qameron Ling: *Shouting in monotone* I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT BRUCE, BUT IT REMINDS ME OF JIMMY BARTEL AND ALL THOSE CHAMPIONS IN THOSE GREAT GEELONG TEAMS, I REMEMBER MAX ROOKE....

"This will go down as one of the all-time classic Grand Finals, Bears trailing by 5 and they have one last roll of the dice at this stoppage..."
"Have you ever looked for a hotel online?"
"Umpire with a perfect bounce, gym4life rises and wins the tap straight down... they've locked it in and they'll go again."
"Have you noticed there are so many different prices out there for the exact same room?"
"Umpire throws it up again, neither ruckman can get a clean look at it, bounces away here to Argas Tuft but he's wrapped up straight away and we'll have a third stoppage... can't be much more than 20 seconds on the clock here."
"Well Trivago does the work for you, and instantly compares the prices of over 600,000 hotels from over 200 different websites."
"gym4life gets a big fist to this one and it's going to fall into the path of kdavva74, he's got a bit of time and space and he's off and running..."
"So instead of searching for hours or spending too much, Trivago makes it easy for you to find the ideal hotel, for the best price."
"kdavva74 still moving, he takes one bounce, coming up on 50, and there's Its Manbearpig on a great lead, can he lower the eyes?"
"Just go to Trivago; type in where you want to go; and with 2 clicks, select your check-in and check-out dates, and search. It's that simple."
"HE IGNORES HIM, HE'S GONNA UNLOAD FROM 55, TO WIN THE FLAG, HAS HE DONE IT?"
"Hotel?"
"IT'S THERE, IT'S THERE! YOU COULDN'T SCRIPT THIS, YOU COULDN'T DREAM THIS, KDAVVA HAS KICKED THE WINNER, THE BEARS ARE PREMIERS!"
"Trivago."

The Gumbies are down by five points, and the clock is ticking down. Jivlain marks! roo2macca is calling for it even though he's a ruckman and is physically incapable of catching the ball. What will Jivlain do?
Well, over the last 2500 years, Sweet philosophers have formed three main theories on what a qootballer should do in this specific situation. Now, first off there's virtue qootball. Aristotle believed that there are certain virtues of mind and character, like the courage to take the shot or the generosity to provide an assist, and you should try to develop yourself in accordance with these virtues. Next, there's qonsequentialism. The basis for judgement about whether you should take the shot or give a pass stems from the consequences of that action. Is the goal kicked, and the game won, versus the game lost due to a shot badly missed. And finally there's deonqology, the school of thought that your coach has set a specific gameplan that everyone must adhere to in a functioning team. Being a good qootball player is simply identifying what Pokey told you to do in a given circumstance and following that plan.
But here's the thing, my little chili babies, all three of those theories are hot, stinky cat dookie. The true qootballing qilosophy, the actual gameplan that you should all follow is nihilism. The stands are empty. There's no point to anything, and you're just going to end up playing away fixtures at the Underground Stadium. So do whatever!
Jivlain's kick slams into the right goal post. Match over! Despite losing their elimination final by a record margin, the Swampbrabs have won it all.

Round 1 DONE & DUSTED
The first round of the first ever Rookie Hunger Games exceeded our expectations, seeing a wide array of approaches to the same scenario – many of which were fantastic. The creativity, wit and humour of our rookie class was on full display – impressing our Judging Panel.
But there were 8 who came out ahead, including some with razor sharp commentary and eerily accurate impressions. We had media, gifs and some interesting situations. But above all, we saw an excellent interpretation of Qootball and the Sweet FA. So without further ado, the eight souls who’ve made it through to the next round (in no particular order) are:
Blue__Balls (Bombers), Beutbrute (Wonders), Sab22 (Wonders), grumbleguts (Royals), FinBar19 (Demons), TheInjuryFactory (Warriors), Kdavva74 (Bears) and Jivlain (Gumbies).

Round 2 will see posters tested further, putting their skills to the test in a bid to make the Top 3 and Final Round. The details of the second challenge will be released in a new thread shortly, where those taking part may/may not be tagged appropriately in what may be the first part of the challenge.
It's exciting to also see that the 8 chosen to go through are representing 7 different clubs, so good to see the talent spread evenly acros the league.
Well done and thanks to those who participated but weren't successful in moving to the next round.

Take it as a complement! Imagine what you could do if you put in some effort?? (Which you definitely need to if you want top 3).
