How are you finding your new surrounds, BB? Any regrets?
Not at all. I came here for a purpose and Rome wasn't built in a day. BRAB has made some headway this season, the addition of haydo has pushed things along a little further and hopefully my addition adds something as well. The litmus test will be the offseason and who we can bring in, either rookies or players just looking for a change of scenery.

If the answer is no I'm calling shenanigans.
Wouldn't "yes" mean shenanigans?

I honestly think a name change would be the best thing for you guys. Maybe change all your names to end in Bran? So like, BRABBRAN , StFlyBran roo2maccaBran etc then you could be the All Brans?

I have cousins who are diehard Hawthorn fans (yes, it’s the non-qooty league, but stick with it). Went to a game in 2001 with them, Round 18, Hawks vs Freo at Docklands.

Freo had a pretty tough run in.

Rd 1 - LOST to Blues by 1
Rd 2 - LOST to Pies by 17
Rd 3 - LOST to Hawks by 23
Rd 4 - LOST to Eagles by 24
Rd 5 - LOST to Lions by 49
Rd 6 - LOST to Dees by 45
Rd 7 - LOST to Crows by 20
Rd 8 - LOST to Cats by 22
Rd 9 - LOST to Swans by 19
Rd 10 - LOST to Tigers by 38
Rd 11 - LOST to Roos by 86
Rd 12 - LOST to Saints by 10
Rd 13 - LOST to Bombers by 46
Rd 14 - LOST to Power by 92
Rd 15 - LOST to Dogs by 34
Rd 16 - LOST to Blues by 75
Rd 17 - LOST to Pies by 29

Hawks were top 4. Expectations from my cousins and almost everyone in the crowd was for a big Hawks win. Just to annoy them, I bought a Freo scarf. Might have been one of 30-40 people at the ground wearing one.

And Freo won. By a couple of goals. The theme song played. The crowd barely knew what it sounded like.

It was the most embarrassing theme song in sport. Full Freo heave ho. The shame of the Hawks fans was delicious.

That’s what it’s like when the Gumbies win. Every week. We inflict horror on our opponents because we are shameless and selfless.

The teams that lose to the Gumbies spend the next week with their tails between their legs.

That’s why we shouldn’t change our name imho

tl;dr

Watched a team lose to another team with an embarrassing theme song ergo #GoGumbies
