Precis of our History:
Season 4 saw the Gumbies enter the league under the name ‘Geelong Gumbies’, founded and captained by Catman, with a blue and white colour scheme similar to their AFL namesake. Finals followed in season 5, and a grand final in season 11, as the team made a solid entry to the league. It would not be until season 16 that the Gumbies experienced the ultimate, taking out the premiership by a solitary point.

Alas, the premiership did not bring sustained success as the club was wracked shortly thereafter by an extended period of instability, retirements, apathy, and identity issues (including five seasons known as the ‘Geelong Wolves’). Change came in the late season twenties as the Gumbies, now settled on the name Gumbies FFC, embarked on off-field growth combined with very good on field showings, punctuated by a 54-point win in the season 36 grand final.

Three things have remained constant at the Gumbies throughout their history- the blue colour scheme, finals struggles and never being too far from a headline.

Club Song (to the tune of Blue is the Colour):

We are the Gumbies
And qootball is the game
We're all together
There’s banter to proclaim
So cheer us on
Through the device, in your domain
'Cause Gumbies, Gumbies is our name!

Blue are the colours, qootball is the game
We're all together and winning is our aim
So cheer us on through the good and pain
From Geelong, Gumbies is our name.

[grumbleguts]

In your thread title, you probably need quotes around the word "roars". The bombers share the league with the rest of us.

 

[cats_09]

Let's go Gumbies

Needs a separate post for legends who've won other trophies throughout the competition history.

Hard to believe those who've performed like Dusty Martin in finals aren't more revered.

Any chance of a name change for your home ground? Seems a little ... well, lame to be fair.

What are its defining features?
Where is it located?

There has to be something we can find to use

Yeah you can use the door.

 

[Jabba73]

Yeah you can use the door.

No solid doors at Abdu Prison, this is indeed a step up.

Anything else?

Nah but we're working on getting some walls put in.

 

[Jabba73]

Nah but we're working on getting some walls put in.

To keep something in or keep something out?

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

To keep something in or keep something out?

To keep the stink from wafting in. Furies are just south of us and the wind blows north frequently.

It'll also help lock in any qootballers that wander in. Standard recruitment isn't working.

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

Speaking of,

Welcome to the Gumbies Jabba.

If you could just stay still until construction has finished that'd be great.
