Official Match Thread Season 38 Round 6 - Ophidian Old Boys v Gumbies FFC @ Spotswood Oval

[GWS Goose]

My inner monologue, every offseason when recruiting (or attempting to).

it's my inner monologue for about 75% of the things I do each day.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Irish BlueBagger did you see what Voss did this morning?

Yeah i heard about it mate. The moral of the story here is don't commit a crime on Vossys watch.

 

[Robertio]

What are you doing with this bunch of degenerates?

I thought you were better than that.

No he's not.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

It's weird. Like clearly you've been the better team this year. And clearly you finished ahead of us. And all that.

But, given we've had the wood over you for ages now, and caused you myriad heartbreak, if roles were reversed, I would never, ever, talk to a Carlton supporter again. It is almost unfathomable what Collingwood has done to Carlton in the last six/seven matches. Sorry

Nonetheless I'm looking forward to sitting back and doing very little as the AI peeps try to outdo each other.

We're just delighted to accept our miraculous golden ticket into the finals!

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

It's a 4x2

Yeah well come near me with it and you will have problems, i can guarantee you that.

SEASON 38 ROUND 6 - OPHIDIAN OLD BOYS V GUMBIES FFC @ SPOTSWOOD OVAL​

Oh my god! I'm doing the Match Threads for this week. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Why did I agree to this? It certainly doesn't feel like something I would do. Really, I should be banned from doing stuff like this. Chief should really install a pop-up that asks "Are you sure, bruv?" whenever I volunteer to do any extracurricular duties. It would be much safer that way. We really don't want important stuff like this falling into my hands. What kind of ridiculous league are you running here The Filth Wizard??

I don't know anything about these teams.

The Old Boys v the Gumbies? What is this, some kind of geriatric disease? Awareness this, and screening for that. Back in my day, we just had gout and trouble pissing. How much Omega 3 do I have to pump into my stomach to avoid this horrific ailment?

But if I check the ladder (Falconista, yay!) , it appears the OOBs (1-2-1) are sitting just outside the eight, after a frustrating draw against the Furies.

The Gumbies(3-2) on the other hand, are sitting in 3rd place, despite a loss to the Bears last week. Useful, factual information! See, now we're rolling.


PLAYERS TO WATCH

For the OOBs, BRAB had a day out last week, kicking 8.3, for 101DT points. He'll be hoping for another bag this week to crack into the top 3 of the Fred leader board.

Dingster was also good with 19 disposals and 10 marks, for 84DT points.

For the Gumbies, GWS Goose kicked a handy 4.3 and currently sits 6th on the Fred leader board.

cats_09 had a very well rounded game, with 22 disposals, 6 tackles, kicking 2.2, for 99DT points.



I'm never doing this ever again.

Team Sheets are due by 11:59pm AWST Thursday​

Nice effort there but a word of advice to you here, don't give up the day job just yet!

 

[Robertio]

Ah, ah, ah, ah
Stayin alive

He's not mate he went to theWarriors.

 

[Irish BlueBagger]

Hi Ding. Can we please request that when beez requests Backstreet Boys to be played through the speakers, you ignore or make excuses why it's not possible.

Co-signed, non-beez Gumbies.

Oh i'd be more of an A1 and Savage Garden man myself.

[GWS Goose]

I'm OK with the Oz language expressed in Wake In Fright, Mad Max, and TV series like Sea Patrol and Wentworth.

The Adventures Of Barry McKenzie and Bogan Hunters is a wee bit... advanced over my head.

And when you start on the cricket talk, I'm totally lost.

Did sea patrol make American television. That is a little embarrassing.
I'm always baffled by the fact our junk TV (Neighbours, Home and away and now Sea patrol) is what is exported overseas.
They must think we are a bunch of idiots.
At least Wentworth is high quality.

 

[U2tigers]

Wentworth was a great show. Especially the first 3 seasons. The Freak storyline got a bit tiring after a while.

 

[GWS Goose]

It's a 4x2

Is this another parmi v Parma thing where some states say it wrong or is there something I m missing here.
It's always been 2x4 as far as I know.

The world is confusing

 

[GWS Goose]

Gumbies as Bronze Access members you will be subject to a full security screening before being allowed access to Spotswood Oval for Qooty purposes only. On entry to Spotswood Campus all Gumbie players will be screened by metal detectors for the possession of guns, weapons and dangerous objects. On exit of Spotswood Campus all Gumbie players will be screened by metal detectors and OOB Security will inspect the contents of any brief case, knapsack, purse or parcel that may contain stolen goods. Gumbies will be escorted and removed immediately at the completion of the game.

If the Gumbies aspire to reaching a higher access level and receiving access to premium match day offerings at every Spotswood’s game including attendance at the Chancellors after game celebration function, invite and premier seating at the Old Boys Best and Fairest function with full catering and bar as well as enjoying exclusive off-field opportunities and inner sanctum experiences from the club throughout the season you will need to be engaging this week and show you are up to our high standard of game banter and interaction.

The Gumbies are basically a collection of Guns and Weapons.
We are awesome.

 

[GWS Goose]

FreoGirl dont forget to fluff the towels girl!

Check the Gumbies access first… I would take a guess and say it’s bronze

I've been trying to talk Mrs Goose into fluffing the towels all week. Limited success unfortunately.

 

[GWS Goose]

Nope! Mrs Turbo gave me a promotion to head chef….. I gave away my fluffing days!!

I would have thought fluffing was quite lucrative

 

[GWS Goose]

Wentworth was a great show. Especially the first 3 seasons. The Freak storyline got a bit tiring after a while.

Agree entirely

What's cats_09 been up to in Gumbiland?

Sleeping




Otherwise, I'm sitting back sipping a latte

 

[cats_09]

Braklet is well versed in Aussie Vernacular by now, I would think so anyway.

And no of course not, hmmm mind you the evidence does point in that direction.

You would think he would be a bit more dedicated when going for a 3-peat

I concur on that point

They give as good as they get when talking shit on random discussions on the Geelong board
