Howdy Catters! How fares you this fine winter?
I am Fryer Tuck, an ambassador and club captain of the Geelong Gumbies... well, as things stand, just the Gumbies.
The club was founded by Geelong fans (Catman to be precise), for Geelong fans. Over the seasons, there have been many Geelong fans that have donned the famous colours. Players like krisholio14 , winty , and Willo_ have all enjoyed successful careers at the club.
However, in recent seasons, there has been a lack of Geelong fans, and the club has suffered as a result. Can't be the Geelong Gumbies without the Geelong, after all. As the Captain, I feel it's high time we get some exciting new talent to banter, stir, and have fun on their way to Premiership glory!
Oh, but you must be wondering, what the blooming heck is the SFA?
Ever wanted to be a footy player, but found yourself lacking for whatever reason to become one? At the Sweet FA, why not live out that fantasy, all from your comfortable chair or phone? Take screamers! Kick epic goals! Suffer from leather poisoning! Even win badges to show off on your profile! All here at the Sweet FA!
It's fun, it's free, it's a good way to mingle with like-minded posters from other boards that you wouldn't otherwise see. Create your persona and banter with both rivals and teammates, stir the pot by making media and cause absolute chaos, or why not enjoy a casual chat about anything you darn well please?
The SFA is just as social as it is about the game.
We're about to start our 26th Season, and I and my fellow Gumbies would love it if you can join us for some good fun! We plan to give you the full SFA experience
Here are more details here:

If you're interested, make your way to this theread and say that you want to join the Gumbies! https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/gumbies-ffc-season-26-pre-season-playdoh.1198748/
Let's being back the Geelong to the Sweet FA!
If you have any questions, go ahead and ask! I'll do my darnedest to answer!
