Official Match Thread Season 26 Round 1: Gumbies FFC vs Mount Buller Demons at House of Gumby

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Seriously though, I just start to feel like I’m getting the hang of things SFA-wise and know that people like snagroll and Blergh or whatevs are Demons, so deserving of at least a courtesy like at the very least. Then some stupid trade period moves everything around. And WTF RodneyDangerfield has moved or something?

Nobody plays for the jumper these days

I was never actually ever given a jumper and it’s what tipped me over the line in the end.

You used to be cool

He wasn’t you know

 

[JackNah_8]

He wasn’t you know

So he lied to me.

It's like Collingwood if they won 1977, but it actually happened.

I like it a lot!

Can I say... "Year of the Clay?"

Season of the soil.

Sorry for my absence, I’ve been busy dealing with vampires, underworld figures, flogs and the most unlikely of lovers.

I do hope this doesn’t affect my rating for the week mystery Tarkymetrics voter.

Angles.

Oh, have you not been in here?

 

[Proper Gander]

I love the old school. 2010 was awesome, but 2002 was my team.

2002 doesn’t qualify as fair dinkum old school. Old school is 1964. In fact I haven’t really recognised any premiership after that time. Which is tricky to do as an unborn person, but I still found a way.

 

[manangatang]

I have no idea who plays for whom, so my strategy is general aggression in an outward direction.

Team players are soft

That attitude reminds me of my days at the Furies. Your biggest threat wasn't the opposition, it was the ever-present danger of your team mate kicking your head in.

Good days.

Soft.

I never had a jumper in my first year. I kicked bags wearing ugg boots, neon leg warmers and a winning smile.

You kids need to learn to really earn your jumper.

Is old school your way of saying retirement home?

Not exactly. But it probably is my way of outlining middle-aged delusion.

And now you're playing on the wing. There's basically nothing left to play for.

I figure you win at qooty then you win at life.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I figure you win at qooty then you win at life.

My experience in life unfortunately indicates the direct opposite

Direct correlation. As linear as it gets.

You must have had a ripper life, then!

Would love a Pies v Dees GF. Make it so, 2018!

Season of the soil.

I think we have our slogan!

#SeasonOfTheSoil

(You can say it without hashtags, but I want the attention!)

Sod it.

I was decent at Tetris in my day. I should have focussed in on that skill.

Please don’t encourage him.

BTW - we're teammates.

Okay everyone, hold onto your hats. I have a confession to make:

I think I like CC’s more than Doritos now.

Great choice!

Woo! Man of high taste, right here!

 

[Proper Gander]

Okay. I’m going to impose a spot of structure on my own life now and try to sus out who actually is playing for my team other than Headless and Yakker, and who is opposition.

I’m looking it up right away. So if I suddenly become friendly and supportive towards you then I really want you to know it’s because I’ve recognised our team spirit and shared goals (and it’s not because your posting has improved)

Do you buy a salsa? If so, which of the popular supermarket salsas is better?
