Official Match Thread Season 34, Round 2 - Gumbies FFC vs Coney Island Warriors at House of Gumby

Gumbies FFC vs Coney Island Warriors
at House of Gumby
​

The Gumbies will be looking to show up to this one early as they host the Coney Island Warriors at the House of Gumby. Both teams are outside the eight looking for their first wins and with three fewer games to play in season 34, two losses to start the season could be devastating.


Last Week

Gumbies

The Gumbies started their season a little later than everyone else, conceding ten goals to the Ophidian Old Boys at Spotswood Oval before registering their first major for season 34. The Gumbies kicked six of the next seven goals to close the gap to 28 points but the Old Boys kicked away again, stretching the lead to 75 points early in the fourth quarter before another Gumbies run saw them go down in the end by 43 points. DenieD (27 disposals and 10 tackles) and CatToTheFuture (23 disposals, 14 hitouts and 4 goals) were the standouts but were comfortably beaten by their opponents.


Warriors

The Warriors travelled to Abdu Prison last week to take on the Baghdad Bombers and were comprehensively outplayed as the Bombers dominated possession throughout and rode two five-goal quarters to a 30-point win. The Warriors also lost the tackle tackle count, rubbing extra salt into their wounds. SBYM was excellent on debut, recording 30 disposals, ten marks and two goals in what was largely a lone hand for the Warriors.

We are a much more reasonable bunch. A nice chill match thread is just what we all need (will give me time to make another couple media threads too which will be nice).

You're in for a chill week where the only post counts above 50 are going to be Tonga Bob and DenieD. Given DenieD is already here though, you might have to settle for three pages by lunchtime.

I personally wouldn't be recommending anything the Bombers do.
