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​

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

 

[Falconista]

Anywho, hello Ophidian.

I assume we're still on the security pat down list? If so, hope it's Braklet.

You'll get your standard tentacle rub-down, don't you worry.

What's cats_09 been up to in Gumbiland?

I actually noticed Footypie32 posting match threads, and planned to camp out seeking another coveted Post 2, but got distracted with a network problem...

, OOB's, Gumbies and whoever else pops in.

Oh the Thread originator as well, something original-Thankyou and well done.

 

[Falconista]

Are you suggesting Braklet was 'pussy-footing*' around?

*Unclear if this idiom translates to a US audience.

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

 

[kenneyswarriors]

And, ah, is it too soon to say Thankyou ?

If so, commiserations Falconista

Yeah, it's part of the US vernacular as well.

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.

 

[Dingster]

Welcome to Spotswood Gumbots. Are there any requests this week?
