GWS Goose (GUM) 48 tackles (9th in the league), 721 DT (5th in the league)


A top of the ladder clash to show if each team really has what it takes to make it deep into finals at season's end. This game will be won or lost in defence with Gumbies being the most restrictive team in the competition so far. Phoenix will have to find a way around this defence if their FRED medal hopeful wants to keep kicking goals. East Side have one of the best duo midfielders in the league with a high disposal count and consistent inside/outside game. I think Gumbies might be just too strong in defence.

Gumbies by 16 points


And now a brief message from our sponsor...

Do you want an admin that will never respond to your PMs because his is filled with bangers? Do you want an admin that will step away from the league once every couple of games? Do you want an admin that has previously done a worse job than NaturalDisaster ?
If you answered no to all of these then vote 1 for Barrybran

You know it's the right thing to do.

Thanks for the OP DenieD and we welcome to visit to the house of gummy’s.

Our elite midfield is hitting their straps this year though. I envision us as the Lions and you guys more like Carlton who will inevitably fall away when it matters.

You’ve also missed one key point. Chipmunk moving me down back where I can’t ruin the passages of play has led to a huge uptick in success for us. That’s the real “player to watch”

Phoenix by 8 in a thriller!

Midfield doesn't matter if you can't get through our defending. And our back 6 this season is elite.

Remember when we were both basement dwellers? How the times have changed.

It feels good to be on top.

Eh, you can keep your back 6 as tight as a nuns youknowwhat, we’ll just score through porps and chippers over the top from the arc

From my experience, nuns are actually very loose.

Pro tip: Tell them you are the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and if you don't sleep with someone in the next hour you will be banished back to the afterlife.

Oof - that sounds like a BLUEALLTHRU tactic to me!

Given that’s a ‘Pro Tip’, do tell: Success rate?

Success rate is 100% effective.

Nuns are horny for gods love.

Dust off and regroup backline, we have a pretender to quash

That's all I remember the Gumbies as.

 

[Riviat]

I apologise in advance on behalf of the Gumbies for destroying you guys so bad that the only option is to replace the Phoenix with the OOB. Benefit is that we wont have any byes. We will accept porps, Chippys and Melons resumes in advance.

Thankyou for your time.

Hi beez

On the other hand, I think we haven't been top long enough and should remain there for the rest of the season.

You're going to have to take top spot from our cold dead hands.


Oh, you wouldn't be playing, the application is for our newly opened janitorial position.

 

[eth-dog]

Actually, we were, look at the round 1 ladder. We just leant it to you for a bit. Now we're taking it back

Whatever floats your boat.
