Official Team Thread Geelong Gumbies Season 14 Thread

[Claypigeon]

So in my expert opinion on the matter of all things absurd and superheroey...

Dangermouse being of course the "dododododo" theme songing variety.

Mighty Ted being a stuffed teddy bear that was brought to life by a spotted alien! Jolly good show lad!

Bravestarr, then one day a lawman appeared, with powers of hawk wolf puma and bear! I mean, woman copulate just looking at him.

Electra Woman & Dyna Girl were a 70's crime fighting duo much int he same vein as the live action batman only on a serial, psychadelic.

When there's trouble you call DW?

Flesh it out lads, the mainstream is a boring place when you revisit childhoods and embrace your inner nerdtron.

Good work streets. .. Super"now I'll say my secret word"Ted and Dee DoubleYa, I know and Bravestarr is vaguely familiar. ..

How about AstroBoy? (AstroBlue!) or even Optimus Prime & Omega Supreme they were more the 'super heroes' from my childhood

 

[StFly]

Believe it or not Transformers are mainstream, if you're going for a mech show go for Challenge of the Gobots or something like Macross / Robotech, even Guyver might be worth it.

Then there are the stories of the Galaxy Rangers, but yeah as much as I do love me my transformers (have series, sold figures to bloke who restores them, have friend who has Unicron figurine, is majorly badarse) I was merely swapping out the "iffies" as I saw them if you really want to face that team then by all mean just limit the Marvel / DC characters (as Transformers initial run was Marvel who did Gen 1& 2, I have a couple comics of them, rather tattered.) But then I also forgot one even though I was humming the theme last night.

It matches my data, same with the people who have yet to pick a number, although in the chickens case we could go with her previous number in the last season? (though I can't recall what that was...)

 

[TheDoctor11]

By my count 2,437,951,458.01942.

Have to feed the family as well, extended can go get $%#^ed, I don;t count no horses or things that blow.

Oh, is that all?

 

[StFly]

Yeah, better get baking there doc.

5 new zealand dollars on Stfly to get up slowly

I see your NZ dollars and raise you the Macau Pataca.

Also given that pete has until Wednesday it appears, anyone got specific possies they wish to play out, knowing full well that centre, FF, CHF, & the follower positions are filled?

Also Striker, if you want the other trolls in the team then I do suggest you try and get them to pop in, because I'll be leaving it up to pete to sort you guys out whilst I'll more than likely be prioritising Gumbies and whichever one of you guys are active and participating (like yourself).

So outside of Pete popping in;

B: --- | --- | ---
HB: --- | TheDoctor11* | ---
C: Bartel | Striker475 | Claypigeon
HF: safman | Ninty | ACTHAWK*
F: --- | winty | ---
Foll: StFly | Flawed Genius | peterss
Int: --- | ---

Might have to read up if they're using that injury / suspension thing, haven't exactly been paying attention to that part....

Also, thinking safman & doc could HFF it, Cub can HBF to try and match up his brother if he wants, since I boned the praccy last time and forgot they inverted to match up, Bartel seemed to go well enough on the HBF or wing, so that's all I got off the top of my head as possibilities.

 

[safman]

i'd be happy with HFF

 

[Bobby P]

I am happy to play anywhere. Keen as for a good season!
