Mount Buller Demons v Gumbies FFC at The Snow Dome [MOTR]



Last Time They Met​

=====================================
SIREN SOUNDS FOR THE END OF QUARTER 4
Gumbies FFC : 15.11.101
Mount Buller Demons : 13.12.90
=====================================

The Gumbies took on the high flying demons at home where a tight tussle ensued all afternoon. Despite a three quarter deficit, the Gumbies found a way, dominating with 24 inside 50's, along with GWS Goose and beez combining for 10 goals to stay on the winning path.

Keys to Success
​

1) Ruck Battle: Self-proclaimed All-SFA Ruckman cats2rise currently boasts a league leading 213 hitouts on the season, amassing a huge (1) hitout more than the next fellow (but 31 more or 1.93 per game than his counterpart Falconista in this matchup). However, last time they played, the Gumby got the chocolates, outplaying the cat/demon. Adv: Even

2) Disposals: The Demons took out 3 of the top 10 ball users to the Gumbies 0 in this category, with rookie p4p1 having an incredible debut season and leading this statistic by 12. Adv: Demons

3) Goals: Ah, this is where the Gumbies...wait no the Demons are ahead in this stat too. sausageroll and GWS Goose kicked 65 and 62 goals respectively to date in S38. Which player will get a bag this week? Adv: Even

Will the club with a list full of veterans such as Headless cooney Gralin cats2rise and co, that have played a million games between them be able to continue their regular season dominance, forgetting the hiccup of last week and forge their way through to premiership glory? Or will the plucky Gumbies fresh off a huge emotional victory at home against the reigning premierships the MIGHTY OOB be able to withstand the pressure coming from them at all sides and end yet another hopeful Mount Buller campaign?

Early markets have the Demons winning by 10 points.

[Falconista]

Do you have a tea recommendation for this week, Headless?

 

[philreich]

It is my considered opinion that the premiership hopes of this week's loser will be severely dented.

 

[Headless]

Do you have a tea recommendation for this week, Headless?

An honest recommendation?

 

[cats2rise]

It was the wider rucking fraternity who have already crowned me All-SFA ruck, thewizardmelon.

I humbly accepted, of course.

 

[Falconista]

An honest recommendation?

You've never struck me as a dishonest person, nor indeed (thankfully) have you ever struck me.

Nice work, thewizardmelon

One day, one day, I long to be free from the treacherous perils of this place.

One day...

I can safely say that Gladiator II follows the maxim of; if you are going to be inaccurate at least be wildly inaccurate (a la Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy).

The sharks and the monkeys are the funniest.
