What's going on in the Poloverse

Probably still trying to figure out how to use them... #justsayin

They've been doing that in Brisbane since 2011...

Thanks for remind me, we still have Spoon's powerball.

I have a powerball I pick up once a month or so.

Close one for Wolfgang who had to win two finals to be Swiss Champ after losing in the WB final against Johan Mario and Pat

I haven't played that long, so who are Johan Mario and Pat?

Johan is former Iron Ponies player, Mario former L`Equipe and Pat i do not know.

What about Lucas? Did he not play?

Pat is from the Moteur fuckers line up who played in gva 2010 and Berlin 2010.

We won, tough games against Sophie who woke up after beating Moteur fuckers (piks sammy Micky ). 4-3 I think.
Then we won 5-4 and 5-3 the two finals, but at the end of the second one Johan stopped playing ( just standing in nets without trying to block shots) because we score two goals (one in each final)in can opener way, pretending it is lame and against the rules.

Anyway they were solids and the finals were50-50 chances. Mario made a huge come back from baby retreat, scoring every back hands into piles of players.

Moteur were tired and bit too stones for a 10 games day.

Cool tourney.

we score two goals (one in each final)in can opener way, pretending it is lame and against the rules.

Well, it is lame ;)

Yep, hopefully less than fucking your teammates final.

A quick and coordinated can opener can be a pleasure to watch.

What do people mean by 'can opener'?

Yep, hopefully less than fucking your teammates final.

Oh for sure, it's within the rules, deal with it.

from the polo dictionary:

Can opener -

     *adjective*

**1. ** When and offensive player puts their bike in a position such that a no defensive player can assume the goalie position. Thus opening a portion of goal that is not defendable (DC). Also referred to as a “barn door” as in, you can’t miss the opening, it’s a barn door!

Shit is mad 2011.

Wolves gonna eat.

The can opener reminds me how immature our rule set is.

Yeah. But a team well coordinated in defense can avoid easily these goals, especially when they have a two goalies position.
When I get scored this way in tourney, I'm more pissed against myself and my teamsters than against the lack of rules.
Regardless the fact that a guy who missed it or get knocked by the goalkeeper can have an high cost for a team, nose in nets you gonna take lot of time to go back play if the phase miss.

But I kind of agree that a ruleset (not just a rule) who can avoid clusterfuck play is 10x worth it to try.

Can-opener, easily counteracted by the steamroller™.

Or a Thumper?

maybe the tombstoner? or completely avoided with the snapshot™.

Ball tickler sorts that straight out.

Good ol' fashioned ghost hack?

Can openers are ugly and should only be used when the opponents are 'double-d'ing.

Also, can opener is a noun.

ball tickling fixes everything

Other team double goalieing? Get the first goal, then stick to 2-out holding possession in midfield until the other team starts panicking about being a goal down with no strategy.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

that reminds me, what was the new move at the worlds? i saw nothing innovative from you. I'm gonna invent some new shit tomorrow.
