Official Match Thread S31 Round 7 - Gumbies FFC vs Dragons FFC at The House of Gumby

[GWS Goose]

A question for omgfridge and anyone else with the appropriate expertise.
I have just purchased some tinnies, a 4 pack of both Bent Spoke pale and the Balta XPA to quench my thirst after running 32km this afternoon (the last part is not relevant to the question at hand but also compulsory to mention), what order would you drink them.
I'm undecided, advice appreciated.

 

[GWS Goose]

Whoa...how about those Crows! WooHoo! Go Adelaide!
Isaac Smith looks terrible in blue and white.

A bit of schadenfreude happening right now for me

 

[Bradesmaen]

Not so great. Bradesmaen what are your thoughts on JLo?

Didn't watch the game given it started at 2:30am. But seems like the forward game plan is as good as last year. Scoring less than a Ross Lyon side

XPA into Pale. XPA has more flavour and generally go lighter into darker beers. Wouldn't get the most of the XPAs after 4 pales.

Make sure you’re getting some food along the way - Balter XPA pack a punch! They used to be on the cheap Friday pints list at my local and a few pints could hit you quick if you were downing them fast (which is pretty much my default drinking method).

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Every player looks terrible in blue and white.

FIFY

I've gone in that direction..

The way Sydney is looking I was half expecting you to attempt a triathlon today

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Going to be dead unlucky here the crows they’ve been awesome.

Paging BLUEALLTHRU.

Does that mean I have to prepare some snacks?

GWS Goose Balter then onto Bent Spoke. The Balter will quench the thirst and then you can settle into a ripper drop in Bent Spoke.

Wait the pales into XPA?? GOOSE YA GOOSE

Huge let off with Rohan missing that set shot.

I can't ebelieve Tex Walker has kicked 5 goals, where has this been for 5 years?

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Huge let off with Rohan missing that set shot.

So he’s playing this game like it’s a grand final then.

Pre game power stance?

Went XPA first.
Relax

Interestingly if I was having a dark beer ( I only have one) I d have that first

 

[GWS Goose]

Really enjoyed seeing Geelong lose.
Until this year, I've always liked them.
Buying sprees never endear you to opposition clubs.

 

[GWS Goose]

These Sydney kids are going well. The Giants trial form all of a sudden looks pretty good.

I know I’m very biased on this front but I don’t get how even neutrals can like Geelong. A sookier, whinier team you’ll never find. The way they over-react for free kicks, take dives, Selwood with his ducking and Dangerfield with his figjam ways (look how many set shots from outside his distance he takes while burning teammates in better positions) - they are a team of punchable campaigners.

Mrs fridge and I had a fight today. She's a mad Geelong supporter. Took a lot of strength not to send her a text about the game to start world war 3.

Errol Gulden looks like a gun.

Oof. That 1 point Hawthorn win hurts my tips.

selection in Fantasy doesn't feel so bad.

 

[HawkAussie]

A sigh of relief for my team winning by one point.

 

[Strigoi]

What a crazy Hawthorn vs. Bombers game!
We won! Excellent! A bit too nerve-wracking game, though.

WooHoo!
