Yep, after 48 turns and over 3 hours the game was still locked at 0-0. In overtime the ball was kicked short and the lack of re-rolls and pouring rain meant that neither team could get it to move too far. Definately one of the best games i've played, Dwarves vs Orcs is a really good match-up. |

<b>Southern Waste League: Season 3 Preview</b>
<u>Premier Division</u>
Well all eyes this season will be on <b>Carlton United</b> and their quest to repeat the effort of last years championship glory. Carlton deserve early season favouritism and I must admit this division looks decidedly weak. The biggest challenge will rise from the <b>Zen Adepts</b> and the <b>Corporate Fraud Chain Gang</b> but they will be hard to top Carlton for the title.
The <b>Slumbering Skinks</b> surprised everyone by earning promotion from Division 1 but I think this year may see them quickly relegated. On their day, the <b>Southern Scumbags</b> and <b>Manic Mammalians</b> will have their moments, but they should be looking forward to relegation playoffs.
<u>1st Division</u>
The “Black & Blue” Division… this is a tough one. Dwarves, Khemri, Undead, Orcs and the Norse will beat each other senseless. Unfortunately I can’t see the loveable <b>Infectious Groove</b> surviving in this division without an apothecary and will be early favourites for the spoon.
On paper, the <b>Blue Mountain Dragons</b> look the goods with the strongest squad, but that depth will be truly tested against the experienced <b>Adelaide Anvils</b> and <b>MadBoyz of Mork</b>. Also, throw in the destructive power of the <b>Archfiends of Atrocity</b> and the resilience of <b>Creepers</b> and this division is too close to call!
<u>2nd Division</u>
If 1st division is Black & Blue, then the 2nd Division is Lavender and Tangerine… this is where the high flying, long bombing glamour boys (and girls) of the league reside. I think early favouritism is with the <b>Warlizards</b>, but the <b>Bring It On Zons</b> will have a lot to say about that.
The <b>Prince Regeants</b> return from self-imposed exile and will do well as the season progresses whilst the newly qualified <b>Chaosium Ad Nauseau</b>, <b>I-House</b> and <b>Leftover Bit’z</b> will struggle against these quicker teams.
<u>Division 3</u>
A very even division in which every team will have its moments and the telling factor could be a serious injury here or a pitch invasion there… A good mix of playing styles as well will see the best challengers for promotion come from <b>Kano’s Black Tide</b> and <b>Gumbeast United</b>. The lightly armoured Amazons of the <b>Bright Lights</b> and the High Elf <b>Lords of War</b> will also be lighting up on offence, but there is doubt their defences will survive the grind.
<u>Qualifying Pool</u>
This years Qpool provides once again the eclectic mix of novice and rookie teams against seasoned veterans. Looking for promotion, the <b>Southside Stone Smashers</b> look the goods as do the <b>Tweakers</b>.
Of course all will be entertained by <b>Mr Whippy’s Donut Boys</b> and there is a particularly nasty and surly team put together by the Australian Liberal Party… whoever they are…
<b>GOOD LUCK TO ALL TEAMS!!</b> |

The head coach and owner of Infectious Groove, Sir Seeping, was heard bragging about his teams chances in a seedy sewer front tavern..
S.S: Sure they got more players, skills, points, whatever, but have they got what really counts?
Drunken slob: Whassat?
S.S: Heart you fool! My team has plenty of heart. (Brief interlude so Sir Seeping could hack phlem) And liver too! You should see Groove Family Cyco, he has heaps and heaps of every organ. Sure we may be a little weak, but... (Another slight pause, this time caused by S.S's, leperous hand falling under the table) If we stick together, and with this many open wounds, sticking together is really easy, how can we lose?
D.S, Quietly: You can lose by having your slow weak team killed ya fat idiot.
S.S: What's that?! Look, Over there, Naked cherleaders! (S.S. was then seen spitting something into his companion's drink)
At this junction the smell got to even this brave reporter and he was forced to leave the room. |

I must say that Clay's wrap of the Premier League seems extremely insightful and accurate to me. Especially the "Carlton deserve early season favouritism", the "this division looks decidedly weak", and the "will be hard to top Carlton for the title" bits. Pure genius!
Anyway,I hear that "all eyes this season will be on Carlton United" and ask that all eyes turn to tonight's international friendly against the current and newly crowned Svenska Ligan champion Necrophilia United! Carlton will be fighting for the pride of our wonderful league tonight. The Undead have an impressive Coach and an equally impressive record, but I think we can come out of this one with the Glory! We've got a few tricks up our sleeves for those Swedish Zombies.
So, come on down to the ground and cheer for your country. Don't none of you be listening to neverborns mutinous grumblings, he's just jealous...  |

We only started this round last Wednesday, so the number of matches played isn't too bad (except for Div 2, what's with you guys eh?).
Deadline is 3/3 though, so don't nobody get cocky!
The International Friendly didn't go ahead no, as Marley the Swede had ISP problems on the day. I think we'll just claim victory by default and move on! |

Hello mates,
Mordachai of Svenska Ligan here. Heard about the ISP problems Marley had that day and am sorry that the game couldn't be played as scheduled. If the game can't be played due to this delay I guess you are right claiming WO... ;(
Oh, btw... could you PM me the decision about the game so I know what to do... thanks! |
