[Bartel]

C'mon Gumbies!

Lets show these puppies how to play footy!

Lets do it for the good old Easter Bunny!

 

[rfctigerarmy]

Go the Furies. MOTR = big stage... and we're up to it.

Should be a fantastic match.

 

[TheCuzEffect]

looking forward to this match! my first motr.. Getting pumped!

 

[Grockadoc]

Furies to win this by MORE than we did last week. Cmon guys, its time to go 7-7 and claw our way to the top of the table.

 

[Marklar_33]

Furies 4th? Didnt realise the competition was so weak this year...although I generally dont bother looking that low

 

[hougie]

Finals is our game lads, stay in the top four and we'll wreak unholy havoc.

 

[Equus]

The sleeping giant has awoken and it's time that we shake up the top 4.

Carn Furies.

Why bother looking that low, theres no competition...

 

[peterss]

Looking forward to this one.


Furies started slowly but are starting to hit their straps and had a big win last week and now find themselves in the 4.

We will need to be at our best in this one to get the points.....But it is MOTR and we have a good record in them and after getting our season back on track last week and a chance to regain top spot with a win here (If results go our way) then theres certainly alot to paly for as Furies will be looking to cement their spot in the 4 aswell.

Perth Swans should be naming the Gumbies side this week - He was due to do it last week under the Ninty reign as captain but i named it as i wanted to do the captain thing and arrest our drop in form and also get a first W as official captain of the side....Obviously ill have my say towards how th team for this one will look but Perth Swans will get the final say this week.....He will be the match day captain....Ill be taking a back seat role in this one but obviously still leading the club as official captain....(This is of course if PS replies to the PM i sent him earlier)

GO GUMBIES!!!
GG10!!!

How can the competition be weak if last years Grand final winner is 4th.. You make no sence... Back to your hole flog.

We are a strong team we just started slow... You flog's thought we were a pushover.. Guess what.. Furies are back!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PHX]

Fire up Furies! The run has begun!

Umm...who makes no sense? Flog

I think you make no sense...floggety flog flog

Come on lads, doesn't matter if the Furies are s**t or not, still a big game! We all want that top spot back and winning this comfortably will help us get that.

Winty is back is stellar form! Expect him to kick another bag. Furies know they have no shot this year so they keep talking about last years premiership instead of focusing on going back to back this year.

Gumbies to destroy the Furies by 57pts and Furies to drop back out of the four.

CARN THE GUMBIES!!!
GG10!!!

 

[BILC]

Time to even the ledger Furies

I like that bit

Carn the gumbies

 

[HBK619]

Keep the winning going Furies. 3 in a row would be a sweet, sweet victory.

Fight hard, win the hard ball and never give up.

Looking to continue my hot form with another 20+ disposal game and a goal would be good too.

CARN' THE FURIES!

This to make us 7-7 and a great springboard for finals footy. The reigning premiers are stalking their prey.


B: Khan - Torohombre – kainokaino
HB:Tigersman - PHX (c) – tucker777
C: Bend_it_like_Cotchin (vc) – HBK619 – TheCuzEffect
HF: the ranger - Grockadoc – Ruthless Tiger
FF: tony_montana – rfctigerarmy – one_eyedtiger
R: Equus (vc) - hougie – Cleishy
Int: emperor - IDGAF

Unchanged.

But note a few positional changes that will suit us to kill those Gumbies.

Positional Changes: None


Yes thats right for the first time in a while ive decided not to make any positional changed to reward everyone for playing well and winning last week.....That was one of the reasons for our dip on form aswell IMO was the positional changes we were making every week.....So hopefully this gives us some consistency back and a win on the board against the Furies.....Bartel back into the side after some good posting this week....Using him as an impact player off the bench hopefully.

 

[RangaInTeal]

COME ON YOU GUMBELTRONS!

Gumbies by 20 goals...

Gumbelites will walk away with this one, full court press, frontal pressure, stright line defence, Dominant big men, Physical presance!

 

[mellowyellow]

I see the FF still have the same old hacks running around,and its clear that many should have been pensioned off years ago

Go Gumbies

 

[Equus]

Epic s**t post.
