Geelong Gumbies vice-captain Peterss has today faced the media at his first official press-conference of the off-season.

Peterss has said that the Gumbies squad for the new season is slowly and surely starting to take shape.

"Its taken us a while indeed but we now have 16 players signed up for the season ahead and one positive is that alot of last season's squad members have re-committed for another season which shows that their is a belief aroun d the club that we can put last season behind us and get back into the finals for the coming season"

"We are continuing to contact some of last season's squad members who we would like to stick around this season and we are hoping to hear back from them soon"

"We also have three new players so far who werent with us last season which is also a good sign....Always good having fresh faces around the club"

When asked what he thought the three current new additions would add to the side Peterss had this to say.

"I personally think they will be good value for money....And with Marklar_33 joining us we have a quality poster who is respected around the big footy community by many and we expect him to be a big part of our revival this season....As for ShaunDuggan and CarnTheTiges well they are both still only very young in terms of the game itself and being part of the big footy community but we've signed them up as we believe they have alot of potential and hopefully we will see some of that this season"

In other news there are rumours circulating around that an announcment on the Gumbies leadership group for the coming season is to be announced soon and alot of people believe that this will see Peterss become co-captain with current captain of the side in Ninty.​

You still flogging that dead horse? You're the only one that gives a **** Okey. Let it go.
No, I was asking that seriously. I was actually interested in whether or not they would consider it. And I am sure the majority of the league are on my side with my opinions of the Gumbies name.

Ninty and Peterrs celebrate the co-captaincy with a publicity shot.

This from the Okey scriptures:
"And thus, when the eagle and the cat shall land as one, thou green mascot shall fall."

I've never really said anything about it before but f*** Gumbies is a shocking name.
If a new player is deciding between Gumbies and any other team your name could sway them towards the other team.

Don't embarras yourself Boncer, you don't want to go down this path.
No matter what people think about my whinging about the name, there is no doubt that the majority of the league agree with the fact the gumbies is a shit name. I would hazard a guess that you agree too.

Sure, I've always though Gumbies is a crappy name but I don't go out of my way to give them shit about it.
I was just pointing out that it may cost them the odd player ;)

I know that, and I know that people think I crap on too much about it which is fair enough. But Bonce can't try and tell me that the majority of the league doesn't agree that it is a crappy name.

I agree with boncer now.. ****, it's getting quite annoying how you constantly bag the shit out of our name when your club is in crisis and coming off a last-placed finish..

Anyway, Gumbies for the premiership. :)

So you are going to take a swipe at everyone else then? All I did was ask a serious question, whether or not there was any chance the name would change. It was an honest question. I know for fact you don't like the name. Amos told all the bombers to come and bag it, he posted the first picture and I got into the mood. I am not to blame for this one. But there is a solution.
