Official Match Thread Season 38, Round 01: Gumbies FFC v Baghdad Bombers at The House of Gumby

[Gralin]

Welcome to a new season of qooty. The Sweet FA is back with the first round of the thirty eighth season!

Before we get into it lets quickly recap Season 37

When the siren sounded to end the Grand Final the Ophidian Old Boys won their second flag in just their fourth season in the league. OOBs rookie and EKA winner myblueroan also took home the Deestroy medal to go along with an All-SFA selection to cap off a fantastic first season.

pantskyle the all time league leader in MM votes won a second Mobbenfuhrer Medal with a mammoth 22 votes but was strangely overlooked for All-SFA selection

Brenton Davy won their first Fred Medal and got their first All-SFA finishing the season with 84 goals

Falconista went back to back in the Frankston Rover award, an amazing achievement, but wasn't done there also winning the Beez with 1510 votes

JoshWoodenSpoon won the TFLUA-Tiger award

The spoon was "won" by the Bombers despite both the Furies and Hawks receiving penalty points.

But now its Season 38 and the slate is wiped clean, every team starts with an equal chance of victory and every player with an equal shot at accolades

Matchup​

The Season 36 Premiers couldn't go back to back, they limped into the finals losing their last 3 H&A matches and the elimination final. Baghdad, meanwhile had a season they'd rather forget finishing last on the ladder with only 4 wins.

The two clubs have played each other 63 times, the Gumbies getting the better of the Bombers 36-26 with one draw.

Will the Gumbies extend their lead to 11 games or will the Bombers get some redemption?

Captains please note Team Sheets are due by 11:59pm AWST Thursday

Hi.

We go again.

Is season 38 going to be run with integrity this year? Or is it compromised from the beginning?

Thanks

Falconista has them running well. Even without vanillabran, sadly his ways have been ingrained.
