Historic Swedish Bronze in the European Championships in Australian Football

The mighty Swedish Elks have upset the highly-fancied Great British Bulldogs in an epic battle for 3rd place in the European Championships in Australian Football.

Featuring a very healthy dose of Maulers players, the Swedes put on a gritty performance in front of a sold out Limhamn Stadium home crowd to take out a much deserved bronze medal.

In a good sign for Aussie Rules in Europe, Sweden’s main TV channel, SVT, was there cover the event. Check out the boys action:

In front of a capacity crowd at Limhamn Stadium (there were even spectators sitting on the other boundary!) the Swedish Elks battled bravely against the lads from Ireland (plus a certain someone from Malmö…).

With the game blowing out in the final quarter and the crowd becoming unsettled, Mr. Croatia took it upon himself to stir things up with a glorious streaking run (pics included below, NSWF).

After getting off to a slow start, the Elks found their form in the second half to runaway with the game and secure a top 4 finish. Sweden 8.14.62 def. Germany 4.2.26.

Dreamteam Update – Rounds 7-9

The Taffmeister Flex — Fri, 28 May 2010 20:14:37 +0000

Judging by the levels of web activity and the number of questions at training, Dreamteam Updates have not been missed in the slightest in the last 3 weeks. Nonetheless, like an American army, I’ll continue with my plan regardless of what my peers think. There’s a lot to catch up on so I’ll keep it as short as possible. Check out the ladder here.

Round 7 – All games went pretty much as expected this week. Jamie and Parker scored well with MacBride edging out Leigh Matthews in a ripper. Chocko smashed Pepe to take him to the top of the ladder with Luke Darcy who stuffed Jim Campion. These two would meet in Round 8 in what was no doubt the game of the season thus far. More about that below. Adam Goodes saw off Taff easily enough to stay unbeaten. Mooses Hack gave Big Barry a serious pasting with a solid 1939. Dave Oz continued his patchy form losing to the Roosters of Jonathan Brown. After round 7 the Normals trailed the Celebs 10-8

Round 8 – So, on to the big one. Two unbeaten sides. First versus second. Darcy the favourite averaging over 2000. Alas, Chockos Tops saved their best for the big occasion. In a fantastic contest both teams scored highly with the Chocolate One finally edging Darcy out 2034-2030. A mere four points. Supreme excitement! Parker continued his march with with a whopping score of 2166. The Celebs stretched out their lead to 12-9. Devastating.

Round 9 – The Sons of Sweden sit alone at the top of the ladder, the only team with a 100% winning record intact after Chockos Tops fell at the hands of Big Bird. The feathered ones are up to third in the ladder. A surprise dip in form saw Nunga Magic fall prey to Lethals Lions, costing him his winning streak and dropping him to fifth. Another form dive saw MacWarriors lose out to the resurgent Taffmeisterflexers. Darcy Delights maintained their form to hold off a much-improved Bustler outfit who may cause a few upsets after looking like easy-beats thus far. Swanbourne Mavs kept themselves in the hunt with a routine victory over Pepe’s toothless Alligators. The Dukes of Royale remain winless following a defeat against the Roosters. A certain Dreamteam updater hopes they remain that way for another week. Luke and his Hacks comfortably saw off Campions boys. Looks like Jim will be struggling to make the 8. This does not bode well for the normals who fill 4 of the bottom 5 spots on the ladder.

The “Norms” have slumped to a five point deficit. Oh dear! 14-9!

And……. we’re back up to date. Thanks for your patience, dear readers. Au revoir!

Tipping Update – Rounds 8 & 9

The Taffmeister Flex — Fri, 28 May 2010 17:42:19 +0000

Right… short and sweet so we can get back on track with these updates after a few weeks of slacking on part of the TMF. Being that the AFL Tipping website won’t let me see round 8′s results we can just say that some lost, some drew and some won. I was one of the latter. On to Round 9…A mixed bag indeed for the Maulers this week. No players excelled with three competitors top-scoring with 6′s. These were front-runners Verngren (1st) and Simmo (2nd), together with Parker whose victory over Prezzy bounced him up 5 spots to 5th on the ladder. Thoroughly underserved, I hear you cry. Alas, that is the nature of the tipping beast. The aforementioned table-toppers saw off Danny (whose form is resembling that of Brisbane Lions) and Damo respectively. Both find themselves on lower rungs of the ladder.

This week also witnessed the joint worst score of the season with a, quite frankly, pathetic 2 from McClaer. Obviously, he was soundly beaten by Jimmy. Chocs is bottom of the ladder with just two draws to his name. His season looks over. Jimmy, despite his win, remains three games behind the leader and needs a run of victories to keep his season alive.

The Ginger versus Quasi-Ginger affair ended in a tie. Dave Oz and Adam both lie in the bottom half with Adam looking like he has too much to do.

3rd and 4th on the ladder are Calle and Jamie. They scored victories over Will and the Duke who lie in 15th and 6th respectively. Will looks like a goner but Denis is still in with a shout. To round up, Taff beat Boyd despite not entering his tips correctly. Result! In all fairness, had the skinny one remembered that you must click ‘submit tips’ he would have got 6 so justice was done… maybe.

Round 10 is already upon us… Anyone tip the Bombers? Nah, me neither. Balls!

Tipping Update – Round 7

The Taffmeister Flex — Thu, 13 May 2010 09:04:11 +0000

Almost a quarter of the season has already passed and the ladder is taking shape nicely. With another week containing upsets and close games galore, the ever-elusive 8 seems a long way off for the Port Malmö crowd. Nonetheless, it isn’t about the perfect score, it comes down to beating the man opposite you and, once again, Verngren has done the business and has opened a healthy 4 point cushion at the top. The Duke was STD’s victim this week…The comps cumulative top-scorer, MacBride, occupies second spot after a 6-5 defeat of Chocko, who in turn is languishing in 14th place. Danny Johncock holds third after getting back to winning ways in the battle of the Aussie veterans against Adam.

No-one managed skanky draws with 4′s this week as Boyd, Jimmy, Morten and Parker (finally) all tasted bitter defeat at the hands of Simmo, Kalle, Oz and Taff respectively. Those wins for captain, coach and, er, Kalle lifted them all in to a large chasing pack on 10 pts.

The only draw of the round saw Wilbur finally break his duck after a 5-5 result against Damo. The two points aren’t enough to lift him from the foot of the table, however. Damo jumps 3 places to 11th.

So, that’s it for this week. Best of luck to all in the next round… except for Dave Verngren, of course.

Hooroo!
