Wagga Wagga Wombats 1295 d Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1267
The showcase match turned out to be (arguably) the match of the round, with Scotland, Curnow and Saad playing hard late in the game to try and steal a comeback win for the Lefties. Unfortunately the Wombats' lead was too great with the Lefties falling short by 28 points. Carrazzo's late withdrawal, had the Lefties coach fuming with no emergency named. Bad luck can only be blamed for so much at the Lagoon, and the author feels that poor team/emerg selection cost the Lefties on this occasion.
Some stellar performances from Reilly (120), Prestia (124) and Schulz (126) set a solid platform for the Wombats, despite the loss of Clarke and Hunt (emerg) mid game. Workman-like Wombats have officially emerged from underground as they continue to monster their way up the ladder.
Birdsville Battlers 1126 d Gundagai Grasshoppers 577
In what can only be described as the worst case of bad luck in keeper league history, the Grasshppers have been crippled beyond belief by injury. With only 7 fit players showing up for the bounce, more salt was poured into the wound with Jono Griffin going down with an ACL. Rocky (153) and Dwyer (99) battled gainfully up forward but the supply from a depleted mid was limited.
Unbackable favourite to win this match, Birdsville were led strongly by Fisher (109) and Houli (104) in Def and McEvoy (140) in Ruck. All did not sparkle for the Battlers though, with their midfield noticeably down and finishing with a score 200 points shy of their average in the lead up to this game.
NB: would the owner of the Grasshopper voodoo doll please remove the pins, I think sNoZ gets the idea.
Gariwerd Cockies 1294 d Cradle Mountain Devils 1128
With the Cockies running into some nice form, this mid table clash was set to be a tight tussle. A monster performance from Deledio (163) got Gariwerd off to a flier, with young Zac Smith (140) playing the game...

Welcome again to the Best Buys. The past week of SuperCoach has seen a variety of new injuries, big games and poor efforts from popular players, and is now looking to be a trend this season causing many coaches a whole lot of headaches. We also saw some events taking place that are starting to look all too familiar; such as Buddy playing another &lsquo;Travis Cloke 2012'-like performance, Nick Riewoldt once again turning back the clock to put in a big game, Heater getting suspended for stupidity, a bunch of guys doing their knee's, and Matt Priddis dropping considerably in price due to an early injury game.
Which brings me nicely to this week's Best Buy, Matt Priddis. Priddis is a consistent workhorse who is generally reliable, except for his habit of getting injured early in the season allowing everyone to bring him in cheaply, and has been a solid fantasy performer for years. Don't let the 91 average fool you, when he doesn't get injured during the game he's usually good for a 110.

Marble Bar 1044 d Nunawading 961
Marble Bar records its first win for the year over an injury-hit Nunawading team. A solid defensive effort by Marble Bar is rounded out by a starring performance from Jezza Cameron up forward. Meanwhile Ryan Lester played his best ever game for the Nuffers, gaining 5 votes in the Les W, while JPK, O'Meara and Mohr also scored well.
Lovely Banks 1015 d Gundagai 908
The lads from Lovely Banks notch up their first ever win in ORFFA play with a 107-point victory over a gallant Gundagai, who were 4 players short and still almost got over the line. Lovely Banks, unexpectedly hit by injury also this week, were led by Swan (5 Les W votes), Thompson and the mighty Canadian Myke Pike. For Gundagai, Jono Griffin again led the way, with support from ROK and Rockliff. Hardingham's effort might see him receive more playing time in the future.
Powlett Plains 1383 d Cradle Mountain 1321
The Packers bright start to the year continues, with a great win over the Devils. Old stagers Hodge and Nick Reiwoldt led 8 players in triple figures for the Packers, while Pendles' 161 was enough for 5 Les W votes, but not enough to lead the Devils over the line. Dale Thomas' 150 bodes well for future scoring for Cradle Mountain.
Charlie's Opening 1409 d Whitsundays 1031
The Spelunkers enjoyed a massive win over the Warriors, with 7 100+ scores led by Andrew Swallow in the middle. Petrie's return to form will also delight the Spelunkers' fans. For the Warriors, a number of players with down weeks - only Boak and Warnock reaching the ton.
Iron Knob 1482 d Gariwerd 1278
Iron Knob again went 'whack' with its scoring stick to comfortably defeat a game Gariwerd team by 204 points. Shuey, Harbrow and Ablett led the Codpieces with 130+. Christensen's 177 earned him 5 Les W votes in a stellar performance for the Cockies, while improved depth and performances from 'lesser lights' would be heartening for...
