Last time they met
For the First Preliminary Final of S36 on a Warm day at the House of Gumby, the Bombers were caught napping as the Gumbies kicked the first 7 goals of the match. The Bombers found another gear in the second quarter and managed 4 unanswered goals of their own to trim the margin back to 9 points, but it wasn't their day as they still faced a 28 point deficit at the main change and this extended to a 49 point one at the final change. With both teams looking ahead to the week after for GF and Mad Monday Celebrations respectively, the final margin was comfortable 49 point victory to the in-form Gumbies. The Gumbies played like a champion team with a spread of contributors but cats_09 (90 DT, 5 tackles) and nobbyiscool (89 DT, 2 goals, 7 tackles) both lead from the front.

Last Week
The Bombers narrowly lead for most of the first quarter and took a narrow 3 point lead before being ambushed in the second quarter. They trailed by as much as 16 points before fighting back to remain just 1 point behind at the main change. They found another gear thereafter and never looked in trouble en route to a memorable 30 point win. The controversial @saintseptember (103 DT, 29 disposals) was best on ground and combined well with the reliable Grav (102 DT, 2 goals). The Gumbies were in party mode as the reigning premiers started strongly and lead at every change before embarrassing the Demons later in the game en route to a 72 point smashing. Brick Loosener (114 DT, 31 disposals), beez (105 DT, 31 disposals) and GWS Goose ( 102 DT, 3 goals, 8 tackles) all dominated as Chat Pile (7 goals) capitalised.

Prediction
Bombers by 12

[Falconista]

Theoretically

It’s okay, I’ll work to keep the economy going

A bit disappointing when it’s too *ing hot.

In my younger days I would have killed for a long weekend with this hot weather, these days it kills me just to see the forecast.

Mate, you do realise it’s actually very difficult to work if you’re paralysed?

 

[cats_09]

What do you have in your Quorotty case?

Depends who’s asking - if it’s for the bosses, then it’s the team guernseys…




If it’s teammates asking, then it’s the post match supplies

[Supercheapgiants]

Evening everyone, I think this is my first time in Baghdad but not the first time winning on the road. Uppa Gumbies!

I’m a casual worker - had a shift today & picked up a shift yesterday, so i’m quite happy with the public holiday or at least my bank account will appreciate it

Yeah I bought a book “Understanding BLUEALLTHRU for dummies, but I even struggled with that!

 

[MayTheNorthBeWithU]

Community Participation. Taking clients out into the community.

Community Participation. Taking clients out into the community.

Ahhhh bloody south of the border language!!! My company refers to it as ‘community access’.

And yeah community access mostly, while also helping some clients around the house and with some study etc.
