ROUND 16
To put it simply, this match only matters to one team. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Gumbies never looked like a chance of making finals this season. The Furies on the other hand are desperate to come out with a win to hold onto their narrow grip on 4th place. A loss could be disastrous for the Furies, and leave them waiting on other results. A win would keep their destiny in their own hands.
SNAPSHOT:
4th - Fighting Furies, 30 points, 108.86%
4th - Fighting Furies, 30 points, 108.86%
8th - Geelong Gumbies, 16 points, 81.18%
Last Week:
The Furies had a massive win in terms of importance against the Demons last week. The 8 point margin was enough to hand them 4th spot and the chance of making finals. The team celebrated after the match, but attention quickly turned to their hapless opponents for this week. The Gumbies lot in one of their most competitive performances for the year. They lost by just 6 points against the now top of the table Wonders away from home.

Filthy Sanchez and rfctigerarmy had great games for the Furies in their narrow win. Eagleoz was strangely subdued.
The Gumbies were well served by marker and watdoiput, with MR Gor and A Bit High offering some great support in such a tight loss.
This Week:
Is all about the Furies. It means little to the Gumbies, although they can help shape the final 4. The Furies will be under a heap of pressure to get the job done against a team they should beat. Rumours of the Gumbies moving the game from the House of Gumby to the Haus of GaGa were found to be untrue.
The Gumbies need to get a bit more from their captaincy tag team of peterss and StFly. Both were quiet last week but could lead their team to a shock win if they find more of the footy.
The Furies will look to best and fairest favourite Eagleoz83 to deliver another stellar performance this week. The Furies have relied on Eagleoz in the past, and he has pulled Ablett liked numbers. Eagleoz, rumoured to have played through illness last week, had limited impact. If he can get back to his seasons best, the Furies should win.

Fighting Furies: $1.14
