Heroes go all out on Bugs

Heroes V Buggers

The past few games between the two teams have made for some great action both on and off the field. In a relatively calm night (considering the windy day we had) aL Don was quoted to say
"Their game was easily the most interesting of all three in tonight's BPL"

Well if the Don says so it must be true.

In reality both teams played pretty well, but dare I say, Heroes looking the better on O seemingly scoring in fast paced attack and the Bugs having to work for every point. The two teams traded until 6 all when Heroes managed to get up and take a break of the buggers and very quickly take half at 8-6. At half time the circle was certainly a more relaxed one than compared to previous seasons and after half we managed to continue the fast paced O and break away on some sloppy offense from the men in white.
In a post match interview Jangles was interviewed and said,
"We showed some maturity tonight to really run away with the game at the end. Our offense was sweet and the defense was stronger but still need to be ramped up. We have really come a long way from the group of BUML player looking to break into the big leagues to a solid team that can roll anyone on the day"
And for you, who was the MVP tonight?
"Well the browntown pairing of Seb and Chris really shown through, but I think the better brown won it tonight"
"Also Myall played superbly on Stu and really shut him down early on in the game which really helped us get up"

Again Jangles went for the crappy circle of love cheer whilst the begrudging remaining players(cheerers) went with it and walked away muttering amongst themselves about how lame it is....

Also Rolo Lover will be pleased to hear the old boy played well and I think got more than one score in the endzone

So the final score Heroes 15  d  Buggers 11

"A Walk In The Park" - with MBB

Tonight we had our final game in our debut season in the BPL. It's been a season of ups, downs and frustrations, but at the end of it I feel as though we can be happy with our endeavours, all things considered.

Seeing George, Myall and Paul off with a win would have been ideal. Buggers scored the first point on O, and we responded, and back and forth and back and forth. They moved the disc too easily at times. Some of our D was great and we looked threatening on O but hesitated a little early on near our end zone. Bevan had a red hot start, getting numerous D's and 3 or 4 points early. It was pretty much a points trade off all match, with one team occasionally breaking the other on D, but break backs occuring. James started playing like a 6'4 person and I burnt it under a number of times, although once turning away as the disc was thrown.. whoops. The lead for Buggers only blew out to 3 points, unfortunately at 12-9. We managed to get the last couple points in a row to pull it back to 14-13, avoiding the time cap for a change (with SlamTown looking on). I'm glad that the score ended close, as this is an accurate reflection of the game and means Stephan can't rubbish us on his blog (or can he?). We didn't really play in patches but played hard all night

Low lights of the season include letting the Lovers steal the game from us first time round, the big loss against Cobras and also Lovers when Jangles was out, and not talking to each other. Also all the tripping on the lines and playing so bad that Matt had to swear at us and that incident leading to Dusty and Chris arguing about the point.

Highlights obviously include the early win against Cobras, the first half against Lovers, all the sweet grabs Myall, Bev and Gav took against unsuspecting opponents, Gavin's 32fun call, all of Mike's praise, beers with JDR and co (actually I felt quite sad that we were at the pub so early), probably tonight's match as a solid performance and other passages of play against Bugs and Passion, namely.

Well I'm stuffed. Goodnight. Big thanks to Matt, again.. not enough words to say how appreciative we are.

BPL - A view from beneath

Well the first half of the season is down, and the Heroes have had a taste of each team. As this team is unknown to the BPL community, we see things a little differently. The following rankings are based on our experiences and other reports and results will be considered sparingly.

1. (2) Dojo - The rupturing of our metaphorical hymen was always going to be a messy, unforgettable and potentially traumatic experience. The Dojo were relentless, but had a "business-as-usual" approach. No hype was necessary. They executed their game-plan with indifference. While we will have a truck-load more confidence next time around, this welcome is hard to forget.

2. (5) SFC - Slamtown flattened our balls with a steam-roller. In contrast to the Dojo, they were all hype and high spirits. Their speed and athleticism was most impressive - the whirlwind oftentimes leaving us bewildered. To see them slip down so far on the ladder is surprising. Perhaps it shows that enthusiasm only gets you so far.

3. (6) Lovers - This is where things get ambiguous and confusing. The Lovers had no passion at all in the first half of our match. They had the countenance of a cancer patient begging to be put out of his misery. Out of nowhere, fearless leader Al Don created an ambush, and we were left helpless. They take #3 purely by the potential that was displayed.

4. (3) MBB - In reality, these guys will finish higher than SFC and Lovers. They play predictable, text-book ultimate, and they challenge you to beat them at it. Very patient and machine-like, with the ability to win most contested disc.

5. (1) Passion - This is most controversial. I was absent from our brawl, and it has been reported that Passion started poorly and then switched on the fist of fury to take the victory. This is not how we see it. Heroes claim that they stuck it to Passion before letting them back into the game. It was probably a mixture of both.

6. (4) Cobras - Early in the season, the Cobra's seemed like a group of athletic young men with bad attitudes. Their strats did not come off and they lacked discipline. They licked more than their wounds for over a week after losing to the Smackable Heroes.

7. (7) Heroes - Our performance? We are really pleased with how we are coming together as a team. Predicted as 15-3 easy-beats week in week out, we forced our critics to take us seriously with a win in game 2. We showed the UQ boys that they couldn't adopt their usual attitude toward us if they wanted to win and we fought hard against the Buggers. Low-lights include the SlamTown loss and the loss to Lovers after being up 8-2.

There you have it. Heroes - feel free to make corrections. Others - enjoy, comment, fight!

Bugger of a game

In leu of anyone actually from the Heroes BPL side deciding to comment on the game on thursday, I thought it best to let the lovely readers in on what happened.
As mentioned in a recent comment the side went down 15-9

If you still want more information you can get a strange and un-passionate review from here where Heroes are never mentioned as the team they beat.

Heroes showed good fight to claw the score back from being down 14-4 to 15-9 to end the game.
