Official Match Thread Season 34 Second Semi-Final: Gumbies FFC vs Ophidian Old Boys @ The House of Gumby

[DenieD]

I thought Barrybran was supposed to be your match winning FF?

Why forfiet the match now.

Every one of our forward 6 can kick a bag on their good day. Old Boys will have to be accountable for every single player in our forward line this week.

 

[GWS Goose]

If we don't win, we are all getting delisted.

I'm afraid funding is being cut from the Gumbies board members and we will have to pack up shop if we lose.

This is a story we made up in case we need someone else to pretend to captain, don't worry, it's all good.

Cute

You actually think you're a chance

 

[GWS Goose]

Gift is for GWS Goose first.

Unless he wants to be a bad boy and reject the gift?

I'm not ready for all that entails

Under KP's new rules, we would advance under the home ground policy. You may just have solved our losing form in finals.

If we manage to break every Old Boys legs in the first quarter we just might

Annoys me it has to happen to us, but I love an underhanded strategy.

 

[Pugsley]

Does it include Pina colada's ??

Or getting caught in the rain?

 

[Mobbs]

We already have a pub.

I SAID WE ALREADY HAVE A PUB

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I like all the changes.
All I’m reading is panic from these campaigners.

That was your team sheet.

 

[Dory_77]

I thought Barrybran was supposed to be your match winning FF?

Why forfiet the match now.

Because I'm five times the FF of Barrybran

For a place called Sweet-FA, it is very on-brand for there to be f* all in the suburb of Sweet.

Well Sweet itself is the CBD. There's mostly only commercial properties there. The two residents are ex-admins living in the ex-admin apartment building.

Had a beer there not long ago.

Had a beer there not long ago.

Where is it? Looks a little like the Waterside. But from memory of the show, maybe more like the Riversdale maybe? I have no clue where it is. Oh or is it the Rising Sun in Richmond?

More homes along Visro Pde, this time in the Timmian precinct which is between Spotswood Oval and the Nandrolone estate (also between Spotswood Oval and Heisenberg estate turnoff).

Allotment 12, Visro Pde, Spotswood. Might be a bit noisy, there's a llama farm nextdoor:


Allotment 13, Visro Pde, Spotswood. Sorry that only the last screeny includes the more fancy roof but it was an afterthought.


Allotment 14, Visro Pde, Spotswood. Yes there's a qooty ground out the back window, but that's not Spotswood Oval. That's Western Reserve, a very fancy ground with astrocarpet. It's used by lower tier footy team and also ex-school club Old Timmians. You might remember them as Team Timmy way back in Season 1. They are shit now. This is a correct statement. They were shit then, but they are still shit now, too. (The house is nice but less of a talking point):


To further indicate where this precinct is, the following image includes all three of the above properties in the foreground. It shows the Western Reserve in the foreground, and Spotswood Oval just sneaking slightly into view in the background (just to the right of Visro Pde as it climbs the hill).

Thats great news DenieD - change everyone!!!
Every single Gumby will be so lost as they don't know where they are this week from last week.

so what your saying is after all the changes the gumbys made they are still no different to usual
