Official Match Thread Season 31: Round 2 - Gumbies FFC vs Gold City Royals @ The House of Gumby

[haydo]

Round 2 - Match Preview​

Our last contest for round 2 and we travel to the House of Gumby to witness the Gumbies and last season premiers, The Royals do battle in what's shaping to be a very interesting battle. The Gumbies in round 1 knocked off the Demons by 5 points away from home while the reigning premiers, the Royals started their S31 campaign with a L in a low scoring affair. This shapes up to be another contest where it could be early lights out if the Royals lose as you never want to start a season 0-2 while for the Gumbies 2-0 would be a great start to the season after a few failed seasons in the past.

LAST TIME THEY MET
Gold City Royals: 19.14. (128)
Gumbies FFC: 15.12. (102)

GOALS
Royals: CakeEater - 4, Ulahoopski - 4, Kapow!!! -3, Paddles_ -2, brahj, Easty, NTRabbit, BRAB, nahnah

DISPOSALS

Gumbies: StFly - 25, omgfridge - 21, Jivlain - 19, Riviat - 17, GWS Goose - 14

PREDICITION
I honestly think the reigning premiers will struggle to start the season and Barrybran will lead his men to victory on Sunday to give the Gumbies a 2-0 record to start S31

CAPTAINS PLEASE HAVE TEAM SHEETS DUE 11:59 PM AEDT Thursday

Revenge is a dish best served cold and oh boy have I been chilling since the end of last season.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Big game this week Royals, not only a necessary win to avoid a 0-2 kicking but also we have a massive milestone, one of the biggest.

It's happy 250th to THE GOLD CITY ROYALS!!!

Thats what she said.

I'll give you the hot tip that last week's result won't happen again this time.

We got this.

We got this.

Well yes, I’m tipping you 100% won’t lose to the Swamprats this week - instead you’ll be losing to the Gumbies.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Well yes, I’m tipping you 100% won’t lose to the Swamprats this week - instead you’ll be losing to the Gumbies.

I'm glad you've found a second wind Ned after you were delisted. Hate seeing people lost to the league.

 

[Riviat]

It's time for payback Gumbinos. #stackedsix are like moths to a flame with Rodders.

Why thank you, it’s good to be back. And after my sabbatical at the Stephen Dank Wellness Spa, I’ve never felt better!

As a Gumbies legend I always enjoy the heroes welcome that I receive here.

They don't scream 'we are a legitimate threat on field' do they?



I'd add the players names to the photo, but they gumby's so who really cares?

 

[GWS Goose]

Welcome Royals, I look forward to spending the week with you lot before watching Rodney Dangerfield single handedly dominate the "stacked 6" (no Genghis Tron you can't be part of the stacked 6)
We won't be stupid enough to take him off this time

 

[Noobz0r]

I'm assuming we won't see Rodney Dangerfield until tomorrow given he's usually asleep at 6pm. I'm just glad it's not at Gold City, we only have a finite amount of Werthers Originals.



















Rodders is so old.

 

[Marlowe]

Gumbies? More like... gonna-lose...bies.

Careful. This sort of comment can get us engaged into stories about marathons.

This is no way to greet a former captain and club legend.

 

[Brick Loosener]

You'll survive.

 

[Noobz0r]

You'll survive.

I definitely won't, I'm fragile and need constant reassurance.
