[Catman]

Another easy win for the Gumbies as they completely outplayed the Las Vegas Bears to win by 47pts. If it wasn't for some poor kicking for goal the margin could have been greater.

Top players were d0nk with 4 goals, JUBJUB with 15 touches, Bobby Giovanni with 11 touches and two goals, NakedDeadGuy who racked up plenty of possessions across half back and Unwritten_Law, who dominated the ruck.

An unfortunate loss last week sees the gap between us and the pack diminish.

Hoping for a morale boosting victory against the bombers who are firmly entrenched at the bottom of the ladder.

 

[Catman]

After our second consecutive loss the Gumbies are looking to bounce back with a win over the Titans in the Round 19 clash at Titan Park.

[jim boy]

With two rounds to go, we're still a game and percentage clear of second spot. One more win from the last two matches should see us finish minor premiers, but that counts for nothing during the December finals action!

 

[Sammy D]

Great form heading into the finals...

 

[D0nk]

We need a... few losses before the finals :S

 

[Catman]

The H&A season has come to an end with Gumbies losing their last 6 matches and therefore losing top spot on the ladder...

[Catman]

The Gumbies have turned around their terrible form with a 47pt drubbing of the Fremantle Dockers at The House of Gumby.

Led by rizzo who booted 6 and Unwritten_Law who kicked 5, Bobby Giovanni who took 11 marks and the all-round dominance of the midfield, inspired by Sammy D, the Gumbies were never in danger after blowing the Dockers away in the first term with 7 goals.

They now get the week off and will meet either the Titans who were defeated by the other prelim finalist - BigFooty Dragons or the Seventh Wonders or the Alberton Swamprats who meet in today's Elimination Final.

ahh the glorious AusKick days.. i remember i met the funniest but wierdest kid at AusKick. To 'intimidate' the rest of the players he ate grass and sung 'You are so beautiful to me'

Then a good hald a dozen years later years later at the start of the Year 7 singing opera to a girl in year 8 he had a crush on. Became good mates with him, one of the funniest people i have ever met!
