Jimcumbilly Jackrabbits 1182 lost to Humpty Doo Hammerheads 1245
Agadoo was pumping on the stereo on the return trip to Humpty Doo after a battling win by the Hammerheads. With a real glut of teams on 5/4 and 4/5 this was a must win. Led from the midfield by Neale 148 and Gray 120, and up forward by Gunston 119, the support cast did enough. Pretty Boy Joe was thrown into defence and managed a 29*. For the losers Matt Dea 128 took the 4 brownlow votes, however with Gibson 59 Martin 48 and Petrie 39 all well below average the ‘rabbits went down at home.
Mallacoota Magicians 1286 lost to Mt Buggery Disappointments 1327
The big question going in to this game, which still remains unanswered, is do we still have a coach of the Magicians. A stretched black limo with full security glass arrived at the usual time and place however a haze of disco smoke surrounded the Magicians bench for the whole game. When it cleared after the siren there was nobody to be seen. Was it all just an illusion or was it…..magic??
Certainly on the ground the Magicians put in a fighting performance scoring a solid 1286 which would have won most other games, however in this case it wasn’t enough to top the MIGHTY MIGHTY Disappointments.
After a strong start to the season the Magicians are being drawn back to the pack, however a strong points for is keeping them at the head of the cluttered middle rungs of the table.
Woy Woy Wizards 1070 lost to Purnululu Bungle Rangers 1219
Woy Woy slip to second bottom after going down to the PBR by 149. Heath Shaws 203 certainly helped and Walker 119 finally scored some decent points but Nathan Vardy in the ruck, FFS Tino he won’t be a late call up every week man, give Cooney a run, at least on the bench. Seriously, if Jack Watts can do it, anyone can. PBR stay in touch but it goes without saying that they will need to keep winning. For Woy Woy they must surely be looking at the trade table and loading up for the...

Round 9 – Once in a Blue Moon Round
Round 9 of ORFFA action has come and gone, with a number of players (and teams) taking the round’s theme to heart.
And while one undefeated team continues to roll along atop the ladder, the race for positions in the lower part of the top eight heats up. And at the tail-end of the ladder, the game is most certainly afoot (to paraphrase a certain deerstalker clad detective).
Onwards!
Gundgai 1241 d Cradle Mountain 1183
Clearly not satisfied with an ascent into mediocrity, Gundagai has pulled out all stops to aim 1.35 steps higher, winning its second in a row 1241-1183 over the Devils.
Lead by the little big man Lachie Neale (148), as well as the match’s “Blue Moon score winner” Heath Grundy (118) and Charlie Cameron (114), the Hoppers have reached the dizzying heights of 10th on the ladder and sit half a game outside the top eight.
For the Devils, Pendles’ 140 led the way, with the magical Zorko (120) and hardworking Grigg (116) doing their best. But despite good late scoring from Hopper, Zaha and Johnson, the Hoppers’ lead proved too big to bridge.
Birdsville 1192 d Iron Knob 1091
In a true eight-point game, Birdsville scored an important win over fellow finals’ aspirants Iron Knob 1192-1091.
The low-scoring saw perhaps the ultimate Blue Moon performance from the Battlers’ basketballer-turned-Tiger-turned-Bomber Matty Dea, who somehow managed to score 126 and gain five votes in the Les W.
Treloar’s 115 was next best, with Birdsville enjoying consistent efforts from defenders Enright, McDonalds x 2 and midfielders Hunter, Murphy and Ebert.
For the Codpieces, the long-hoped for appearance of a genuine ruckman turned back into an apparition, with Will Minson again sitting out. He was last seen swearing under his breath in German and plotting an inadvertent injury to Tom Campbell. In his absence, Jack Darling’s OOP 22 was not enough.
Robbie Gray’s return (120) was welcome, and a consistent...

So, Gawn. Playing sore or something right? Talk about up and down!
Reckon we're gunna see some big scores this week though, particularly with Capt. Goldie knocking out a big 176.
What are you looking at this week?

This round is setting up to be like:
No late changes in Friday match. Late Mail talk is Barlow could be coming in with the wet weather tomorrow in the West and Ruggles straight back in with Lonergan potentially a late out.
So how are you doing avoiding the donuts?

Last year it was with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Phil Walsh, so this round we raised a glass and remembered him... in the round that Adelaide played Geelong, the two teams whose game was cancelled last year.
It was a cracking round of ORFFA games. Read on for the reviews:
Iron Knob Codpieces 1125 vs Gundagai Grasshoppers 1169
Lets start with the upset of the round, where perennial wooden spooner Gundagai managed to beat the team with the coach who has seemed to take the most delight in Snoz's collection of timberware, jimbowan, even with just 14 fit players. The Grasshoppers played one short in defence but both teams' defences were poor, with the game obviously played in the middle where Grundy (114) was able to smash the out of position Jack Darling (27) in the ruck, giving great service to his Grasshopper teammates, Curnow (129), Neale (123), Cripps (115) and Adams (111). Iron Knob found only 3 centurions all up, to the 7 of Gundagai - including big Mason Cox (102) who is looking like a great addition to Snoz's team.
Cradle Mountain Devils 1169 vs Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1388
Last year's premiers, Larrikin Lagoon turned it on in this one, with one of the highest team scores of the round. It was a great all round performance by the Lefties, with winners all of the ground, from Baguley (120) down back, to Priddis (123), Lewis (122) and Goddard (109) in the middle, Goldstein (105) in the ruck, and Montagna (110) up forward, they were hard to beat. Pendlebury (157) gave it his best for the Devils, and Jacob Hopper put in a fine performance in their magoos after being named as an emergency.
Birdsville Battlers 1344 vs Venus Bay Vultures 1190
Birdsville snapped a 4 game losing streak with an impressive performance over one of the favourites for the flag this season. The Battlers have had a fairly difficult FIXture for the start of the season, but they would have hoped for a win last week against the otherwise winless...

Man oh man, looks like those outs are taking their toll!
Seeing a bunch of puss scores all over the place!
Bound to be some big scores though if you dodged the bullets and hit those unique(ish) guys that hit though!

Dd you know Dangerfield is playing against his old club, Adelaide, in Adelaide? You'd think the media would mention it once or twice...
So Supercoach! Trade season in full swing. Did you double-down, one-up one-down this week. What's your plan?
For the 30k coaches that have him, Houli is a late out for Richmond. Which makes an even bigger headache if you're already trying to cover donuts in the forward line! Good luck.
