While we still have the RMT Forum these days, last weeks RMT thread was well and truely smashed.
Considering the majority of our teams are still potentially up in the air, it only seems right to crack the thread open for a do-over.
So if you’re interested in getting your team a once over from many others (or yanno, you’re just interested in a sneaky peek at some decent teams), jump in and have a looksee.
Woah, forgot to post the discussion thread
Double woah – pendles and Swan injured!!! Looks like the SC gods are back with avengence.
Well here we are at the start of another round. Some teams looking for redemption after less than satisfactory performances, some looking to build on first up wins.
One thing for sure is that coaches should by now have entered their teams via the team page and be able to enter their teams here http://tooserious.net/ORFFA.php each week.
Some big matches coming up this week which we will explore over the break…….
They say in the AFL that from round 7 onwards the Top 8 stays pretty much the same. If you’re in, you’re in, and if you’re out, you’re out. No idea if the same holds true for the ORFFL (we’re all pioneers here), but I dare say I hope not. How utterly depressing. With 4 teams just a game off 6th spot, there is certainly solid ground to suggest it will be otherwise. Regardless, round 8 will prove to be another season defining round for the ORFFL as we edge closer to the mid-season break. Join us over the break as we preview the matches of the weekend.
NOW WITH HAMEDAY UPDATES
The ORFFA played its inaugural round last week with some big crowds turning out to cheer on their boys. Big results for Darraweit, Venus and Foul Bay, while Powlett Plains got up due in part to Nic Nat’s absence. Results and ladder after rnd 1 beyond the break……..
Round 7 recap: Well Ablett responded to the “will he, won’t he??” and returned with a solid but slightly disappointing (by Ablett standards) 125 SC points from 33 disposals. Despite all the talk about him playing in the forward line, he only managed one behind. I was a lot more happy with my smoky pick of Franklin who continued his fine form against Melbourne with a great 140 (which would have been much higher had he kicked better than 3 goals and 7 behinds).
Round 7 regrets: Whilst Swan did well with 141, Pendlebury disappointed with only 107. Cox had an underwhelming average against Essendon (91), whilst Watson and Stanton did not fare much better against the Eagles with 100 and 73 respectively. All three, however, smashed it over the weekend: Cox with 141, Watson with 149 and Stanton with 164.
The question this week seems to be whether Ablett has reclaimed his perma-captain title – or is he playing on one leg hence his relatively low 125 last round?
Woah, GWS Mayhem!! Let’s hope they don’t pull that business over the byes. Play your best 22 then please Kev.
INS: Thomas, Bartel, Stephenson, Wingard, Darley, Stevens
OUTS: Christensen, Smedts, McIntosh, Bugg, Shiel, Smith, Kennedy
Extended Bench: Zorko, Adams, Robinson, Stevens

Welcome once again to the Best Buys
This week sees a fair few rookie options on the bubble, and for those who resisted the double-downgrade last week, some decent opportunites to get in some fresh meat. Defense in particular has a few guys worth looking at, which with some of the defensive cash-cows already getting close to their peak it is perfectly timed. For those that did opt for the double-downgrade this week sees the ideal time to bring a couple of heavy-hitters to replenish the premium stocks and hopefully get that nice points boost that we’re all looking for.
My tip for the week is Stevie J, who is looking to have regained some form and fitness and is currently bargain priced. The Cats run from here does still have some pretty challenging sections but they usually have an easy game or two in between the tougher ones. With Tomahawk drawing more attention up froward Stevie J should get loose a bit more and also spend more time through the midfield. He is definitely a gamble, but one that on prior form has paid off many times over the years.
I know the “I was a bit rushed this week” line must be getting a bit old now but hopefully this week I have at least a reasonably good excuse, so as always feel free to let me know of any mistakes I have made or issues I have missed. It’s always great to hear your thoughts.
So grab a coffee (or lunch now as the case may be) and join me over the break for the full Best Buys and some comments and thumbs action.
The donors did pretty well this week, with a score of 2347, which placed us 20,857 for the round. This brings us to a total score of 14,801 giving us an overall rank of 25,803. Onto our leagues, and we’re 12th in Ucantbetooserio after a loss, 2nd in Ucantbe TS after a win, 2nd in TS Igotatheroy after a win, 4th in TS Pine Warmers after a win, and 16th in the TS WA League after a loss.
