Media This Sunday, it's milestone madness!

[Falconista]

Not one, but TWO big milestones this weekend in Gumbania.

Let's start with the disclaimer, people may not like milestone threads for a game milestone without '00' at the end, but life membership of any Sweet FA club is no ordinary milestone. When a couple of tens reach 150 games for Gumbies FFC and thus life membership, unapologetically a big deal will be made of it.

On Sunday versus Coney Island, beez will become the twelfth and GWS Goose the thirteenth players to 150 games for Gumbies FFC. Both debuted for the 'cines in season 29 against the Roys however their journeys to the club were vastly different.

Goose came to the Gumbies following a Sweet FA board tour to the GWS board. From a rugby union and league background, Goose took to qooty with ease to become an Aussie sporting triple threat.

Meanwhile, the Gumbies are beez's third marriage club after having a short stint at the Wonders before being turfed and a long stint at [redacted] for whom beez turfed. A career of significance, beez's legacy will be an award struck in their name that people go out of their way to scrounge votes in.


beez very much enjoyed winning the players association award (now known as the beez Trophy) in season 15. For anyone younger than about 28, that thing beez is holding is a landline telephone. How retro!

Normally this is the part of a milestone thread where stats are listed but instead, here are the links to Hate's phenomenal resource if you care to be wowed by the qooty brilliance of beez (SweetFA+) and GWS Goose (SweetFA+).

And the reason for glossing over the stats? No, not envy, it's because for as good as these two are according to the sim, off field they are vastly superior. If you've read a Gumbies matchthread in the past 3.5 years you would have seen both these guys posting as they turn up every week. They've stuck around as the club has consolidated and built over the past several seasons. Best of all and to paraphrase Barrybran, both are bloody good value in match threads.

However, it is leadership where both beez and Goose shine brightest. Both have been wonderful members of the Gumbies leadership group for a long time to each of Barrybran, DenieD and myself as the skipper. Speaking for myself, one could not ask for better lieutenants. They provide sage advice when needed in the LG and are wonderful at engaging with all members of the team in public and in the PM.

Congratulations on becoming Gumbies FFC life members.



So please post below your marathon anecdotes/celeb name drop/tradie rants/all-sfa snub stories/well wishes or simply call me the floggiest flog who ever flogged. I have no doubt that beez and Goose will get a kick out of it.​

Dear Elton Johns Wig and the HOF selectors,

I write regarding teammate GWS Goose who reaches 150 games this weekend. In Goose's mind, this is the minimum cut-off for Hall of Fame consideration. As such, Gumbies FFC are excited to nominate GWS Goose for the Hall of Fame and were in no way coerced to this position.

Goose can provide their CV on request (and possibly will even if not requested).

Yours,

Bet Goose made you make this by gunpoint.

 

[Braklet]

Congrats GWS Goose and beez on your big old things!

Enjoy your Gumbo life memberships, maybe you'll get to walk into some extra thick books now, not sure what the rules are in that particular fantasy land.

 

[Aucklander]

Congrats GWS Goose and beez look forward to your father/mother sons or daughters joining the team in a few years.

Fun fact - beez is the only player in Sweet FA history to win back to back wooden spoons at different clubs.

 

[Barrybran]

Congratulations beez and GWS Goose on this incredible milestone. Outsiders may not care too much about this however the Gumbies were in disarray for a long time but during your time at the club we have seen many players play 100 and 150 games for the club.

Two of my favourite posters during my time in Sweet FA.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Mazel tov GWS Goose & beez for [INSERT ACHIEVEMENT] at [INSERT CLUB NAME]. May two (2) of your wildest dreams come true, unless said dream is a victory this week and/or knowledge of the vintage of certain opponents because if you wish for those you can garn

 

[Mrs Turbo]
