Fuzzy Bunnys

Fuzzy Bunnys returned to winning ways today with a close fought 6-5 win against Pink Bits. Boris had a few new faces which proved quite a challenge. Shane stupidly agreed to play against the Bunnys so settled for the near 50 year old Tim. He seems to have got his confidence back in goal but as he kept out all shots bar the screamers. The Magallanes Jaiden and Jesse were on show again today however Jaiden had an unusually off game. Lindsay and Josh were on show doing most of the work today. Some good link up play from the Bunnys and some clever finishing got them through. Good to see some regulars back.

Red card - Michael (unfortunately our old regular mr reliable, seems to have lost interest in the Bunnys. It's a real shame and hopefully he can make a few appearances. However it would help when msged or ask to reply)

Man of the match - Tim ( yes once again he'll be celebrating.... Ok maybe not celebrating but he will be having his 50th bday on the 12th of March and the old man is still going strong. He's had a career to admire both on the outdoor and indoor scene and we wouldn't even have a Fuzzy Bunnys team or a place to play if it weren't for him copping massive losses financially just to give a bunch of people who show up when they please and rarely pay up some fun. So let's all thank him from time to time and start by giving him this shout out and player of the match award. Not the first and surely not the last!)

Goal of the week - Lindsay ( back in action after a few weeks out and got himself on the score sheet with some nice Bunnys build up play complemented with a very well placed finish into the side of the net)

Fuzzy Bunnys suffered their first defeat of the season in this game. Basically it was the young Bunnys again as Jaiden enlisted the help of all his mates.. Rick Bart Matt and younger brother Jesse all played.. However Shane was busy having his bday celebrations so the youngsters all had a go in goal. Rick was alright but the Bunnys just couldn't prevent the goals conceded. Brent and Jaiden got 2 each but the Bunnys fell from the top of the ladder with the 7-4 defeat to a Praying Mantis squad quite depleted themselves. However George needed to be tested for drugs today!. Bunnys losing momentum in the crunch end of the season. Even the best lose sometimes... Except the mighty gunners of 03/04... True Invincibles...

Red card - Fuzzy Bunnys ( the whole team as a squad gets the red card today. For the players who aren't showing up to the players responsible for the first loss. At the end of the day it's a team game and a team effort for this red card. And yes Dale that means technically you got another red card. Not Shane but... It was his birthday!)

Man of the match - Rick ( poor guy ended up playing most of his game in goal cause he was the only half decent one. Made some good saves and kept us alive but the strikers just couldn't capitalise)

Goal of the week - Jaiden ( only small positives for the day but another typical Jaiden goal. Got the ball showed some electrifying pace and slammed home with power)

Fuzzy Bunnys gave a second hiding to Quadtrix for the season today. Nice change from the close calls of late. Fuzzy Bunnys had a slightly more youthful set up with Jaiden bringing along two fill ins. Ricki and Bart made their Fuzzy Bunny debuts. What performances as well. Both filled in at the made and comfortably dealt with whatever Quads had to offer. Both read the game and plays really well. Ricki unlucky not to grab a goal too. Luke however on his return overshadowed the newcomers. Pumped up and ready to play again he dominated. Got 4 goals and providing goals for Brent and Jaiden too. Some of his goals were crackers and this could be Luke's year. Another good win guys. Thanks to Ben for filling in in goal under pressure.

Red card - Lindsay (was he in was he out. Couldn't make up his mind today. First he was out then said stuff it I'm in. Then last minute pulled the plug again. Lucky we had some youngsters on hand. Good thing he's only missing the easy games)

Man of the match - Luke (as mentioned before Luke came back with a bang. Had George diving all over the place helplessly. Grabbed 4 goals and some lovely assists. Great vision and accuracy today. Good to see him back playing in the bunny jersey!)

Goal of the week - Luke (from an acute angle hit an absolute rocket into the top right hand corner. Some decent build up play with Jaiden and nearly took the net off with this effort)

The Bunnys had another insanely close scare to their undefeated streak.. This time against Little Visitors. The Bunnys were ahead for a lengthy period of the game due to goals from Brent and Lindsay. Jaiden was too busy having boot issues to score this week. Then George deputising in goal due to all other 4 Bunny keepers being out let in a few and we went behind. Down 4-3 in the final minute the Bunnys threw everything they could into in with the record on the line and Brent scored an equaliser with about 20 seconds left. Then from the kick off his father Tim who was also filling in wound back the clock and smacked an absolute belter in for the win. Probably far from deserved but the team stayed strong and had enough heart and determination to pull out the win. Great job guys.

Red card - Jaiden (Xmas has come and gone and the superstar is in need of some boots. They were destroyed before Xmas and unfortunately Santa didn't help because this week they literally split in half. The poor guy couldn't kick the ball. He has to play with one boot one shoe for most of the game and it had a negative effect as he failed to score unusually. GET SOME BOOTS!!)

Man of the match - Lindsay (controlled the game and made some crucial plays. Some great defensive work and interventions, crucial goal and kept calm throughout when all seemed lost. Plenty of experience and leadership shown)

Goal of the week - Tim (Yes the old man finally decided to shoot rather than muck around and what a result. Grabbed the winner in the dying seconds in spectacular fashion. Nice to see a reminder of what he can be capable of when he wants to)

Fuzzy Bunnys used a get out of jail free card today as they escaped to beat Headhunters 6-5. Bunnys definitely got more than they bargained for as their undefeated streak for this season seemed over. Just a lethargic performance considering Bunnys had a near full strength lineup. Goals from Jaiden and Josh however saved the day and own things for the Bunnys. Close call but 3 points!.

Red card - Dale (Adding to his long lost of red card awards, Dale is moving away. Rather unfortunate circumstances however still Dale would be reluctant to show up if he lived across the road. Now he's out at Belfield?.. Or something a million miles away and he's unwilling to train and bus it.. Don't feel we'll be seeing much of the big guy anymore. Shame)

Man of the match - Jaiden (another committed performance with some crucial goals. When the Bunnys seemed out the young and fit member of the squad was there to keep us firing.)

Goal of the week - Josh (can't quite remember as I'm a few weeks behind however the league gave him best goal so we'll trust that. Copying Alexis Sanchez for his own reasons I guess he must have scored a decent goal. If not he needs something so he can have it.)

You know you've made it big when you have Subbuteo characters made after your team..

Fuzzy Bunnys played a very intense rivalry game against Eggdix, the team that knocked them out of the finals last season.. The Bunnys had to borrow a Ducks player and technically we still count Shane as part of the Bunnys squad. Extreme down pour of rain from start to finish and a lot of niggly fouls from both teams.. Lindsay playing without boots did fantastically well in a defensive effort which almost saw The Bunnys come through.. Josh who unbelievably returned for the game in the rain put the Bunnys ahead with a low drive early on and the Bunnys went FIFA 15 tactics and tried parking the bus the whole game.. Control and shots were poor all throughout but the Bunnys held strong and Shane had an absolute blinder!!.. To keep like that in those conditions deserved a clean sheet which unfortunately didn't eventuate due to a great impossible angle goal from the rivals.. Brent and Jaiden had late chances and almost scored had it not been for the post.. However a draw was a fair result in an overall fun competitive game.. Unlucky guys..

Red card - Jaiden (the captain went home and feared he'd lost his shirt last week only to found out the young maestro had pinched it.. I'm sure the captain appreciates having a fan but Jaiden your jersey is probably already more valuable anyways.. Haha)

Man of the match - Shane (no doubt whatsoever about this one.. Don't think there has been a better keeping performance all season if not ever at that place.. Horrible conditions and single handedly kept the Bunnys undefeated.. Appreciate the help buddy! :) )

Goal of the week - Josh (kind of by default since there was only one, however a very precisely driven effort which had far too much power for any keeper to prevent.. So had there been another goal this one probably would've held up)

Fuzzy Bunnys won a tight affair against Praying Mantis.. The game stayed close all the way through until the Bunnys pulled away at the end.. It finished 5-2 and perhaps has Stelios been in for the opposition it would've been harder but the Bunnys took the points to remain in the top places on the ladder.. Dale was back in for today's game and showed a good account.. Only embarrassing moment was Bass' own goal.. Bass made up for it however with a fine display and scoring a goal in the right net as well.. Jaiden again on point and Brent grabbing a hattrick.. Michael couldn't score again this week but who knows.. Maybe within the next 100 games..

Red card - Slade (where was mr. Man of the match for today's game??.. Slade will unfortunately be out of action for an extended period of time and is running out of games for guest star appearances.. The Bunnys team however would like to wish you well on your travels and hope it's a safe and happy journey ahead)

Man of the match - Lindsay (on point throughout the game tonight and provided plenty of key passes and a few assists.. Defensively outstanding as well to push the Bunnys towards another win for the season)

Goal of the week - Brent (great Bunnys team move which started from the back before a couple of tricky cut backs from Jaiden onto Bass then to Brent for an easy tap in past his Dad.. Who of course can't admit he got a hattrick scored against him by his son :p)

Fuzzy Bunnys received a forfeit win today as on the 8 balls failed to show. But the Bunnys played a game against a few randoms and won 9-5. Stats weren't going to count but Dale finally appeared for once and Michael scored so had to count them. Luke didn't make it, Jackson went awol, and Josh showed up late so wasn't needed. Luckily Slade was on hand again and everywhere as usual. A 3 minute cameo turned into a full game (haha). Jaiden also back in scoring form realising it's probably best having shots a bit outside the circle to avoid going in. Dale made a shocker on one occasion and managed to get another own goal down on his career achievements. Can always look to Dale for unbelievable entertaining moments. Lindz a lot calmer today as well and played well too.

Red card - Dale (adding yet another red card to his name, this time Dale gets it for letting the ball crash off the side net, then the back net, before letting it hit him to concede the own goal. Better awareness to avoid those situations Dale. Good seeing you there though, wasted all his focus playing with the footy earlier)

Man of the match - Slade (continues his 100% record of being man of the match whenever he plays. Again was the only player trying. All over the place, few assists and would've scored had the half time whistle not put him off, then got pushed to concede a penalty. More 3 minute cameos please!)

Goal of the week - Michael (hasn't scored since opening day last season, yet Michael rocketed one home to break the drought. Then with the goal scoring confidence grabbed the goal of the week when played through to use the time he had, not panic and cooly touch home. Brilliant un-Michael like finish. 2 goals well deserved buddy)

Fuzzy Bunnys continues their rivalry with the Ducks with another hotly contested draw.. Again the sides couldn't be split and momentum swung numerous times.. Bunnys got off to another quick start with goals from Brent.. Then frustration kicked in at the back and heads dropped as they came back and took the lead.. Michael on fire in goals however and Jackson again providing much needed size and of course those genius one liners.. Very physical game but perhaps players going down a bit easy.. All throughout the came Jaiden scoring but losing balance which could've provided the difference.. Another bizarre own goal and a hit from Josh levelled the match again.. Both sides rattled every post about twice each and the final whistle blew. Another great game with the Ducks.. Shane perhaps going a bit easy with a tiny allegiance to the Bunnys..

Red card - Jaiden (dangerous all throughout the game and has played long enough to keep himself out of the circle!.. Robbed himself of a hattrick tonight by losing his balance and falling in to have every goal cancelled out.. Even more depressing when those goals could've given us the win)

Man of the match - Michael (again having to step in for Dale who apparently only plays golf these days.. Michael was copping hits point blank and keeping us alive when momentum was against us.. Not an easy position to play but got us a positive result in the end)

Goal of the week - Brent (tempting to give it to the own goal again this week as it was another funny one but we'll go the one which levelled things up and just snuck in at Shane's near post.. Got enough on it from the left footed shot to trickle through the defence and spin away from the keepers dive..)
