Each week in Season 28, we here at TiFmedia will be keeping a keen eye across the competition, as we look to highlight some of the more underrated shining lights and hidden gems of the Sweet F.A, in a segment we call...
Sweet F.A Surprise Packet of the Week.
ROUND 1
Callums_Guns
Mount Buller Demons
This week, we will be taking a closer look at second year Mount Buller Demons midfielder Callums_Guns.
After an equal 6th place finish in the EKA for Season 27, CG has certainly started off S28 with a bang, featuring heavily in the highly anticipated People’s Grand Final pre-season clash against the Warriors, as well as noticeably raising his media profile across the competition during the off season. He has just this week taken on the responsibility of the SFA tipping competition from his new skipper at the Dees, manangatang, and he has already been a major factor in the Dees clash with the Furies this week as he looks to build on what promises to be a breakout season for the young up and coming second year Demon.
We caught up with Callums_Guns over the weekend for a chat as we looked to delve deeper into what motivates him, and what has been the inspiration behind his ascent early in S28.
TiF: Congratulations Callums_Guns, you’re the first Sweet F.A Surprise Packet of the Week!
First things first, what’s your favourite flavour potato chip?
CG: Red Rock Sweet Chilli & Sour Cream, cooney's dog can't eat them so i feed him anyway, always gives him a interesting drive home after training.
TiF: You’ve made a great start to your second season in the competition Guns, you were busy in the 'People's Grand Final' pre-season match against us, you’ve taken over the Sweet FA Qooty tipping competition, and you’ve been a presence around the media to kick off Season 28. You look set for a breakout. What’s changed for you this season?
CG: 1st half of the season didn't know what was going on and once I did Yakker crumbled with winning, gave me the off/pre-season to work on my game with Jim, Tarks and manga.
TiF: So you debuted last season with your current club the Demons. What brought you to the Sweet F.A?
CG: Yakker signed me up.
Ex Demons skipper Yakker
TiF: Besides Yakk, who has been your biggest influence since joining the comp?
CG: A blend of DemonJim, AceAndy & TJASTA. Jim & Andy top of their game in DT scores and TJ is just a straight shooter.
TiF: You seem to have a fascination with our beloved ruck darling of the Warriors, comewhatmay, talk us through that, what are you playing at? Is there a story behind it?
CG: There was a few things that needed to be sorted for positions at the Dee's in the pre-season with my frame i wasn't sure if i was ruck, in the guts or key forward, in the end I was put in the guts. Because of that bonding session between the 2 clubs i got paired up on the boat and the rest is history.
TiF: Spell your skipper’s name.
CG: I just call him Tacko or manga, wouldn't even try spell it.
TiF: Have you been fishing with Yakker yet?
CG: He tends to take the LG only i don't know why after what happened on their end of season trip together with manga giving him the nudge.
(Editor's note: dramatic re-enactment of the Demons succession plan.)
TiF: When you went through _Cayz_ ’s drive thru, what did you order?
CG: The Lot.
TiF: Who was the toughest nut to crack at your club, and why was it DemonJim?
CG: Gets a rough go in the votes so has become quite bitter, but does take responsibility to help others within the club. Has hit the bottle and
TiF: If you were picking your own side from scratch, who would be the first player you would pick, and why?
CG: It would have to be Tarkyn_24 he always delivers, well except for 1 game.
TiF: Who’s going to win the spoon?
CG: Hawks, needed to pick up another player or 2 to cover The Half Back.
TiF: There’s been a big focus on names this off season, with some unique cats joining the league as rookies, not to mention some very high profile name changes by established stars of the game. Who's running the weirdest name going in the comp right now?
CG: Maybe the The Filth Wizard, too have a weird/odd name and to back it up on the park - hats off to him - will be watching him during the season.
TiF: Well thanks Callums_Guns, you've made a ripping start to Season 28 and we here at TiFmedia are looking forward to following your career mate. Thank you for your time and congratulations on being the inaugural selection for TiFmedia's Surprise Packet of the Week.
