    TTH - we would love to have the Swamp in Gundagai. We just got back last night - decided to stay the weekend at TiB's and enjoy the ocean, we don't have too many expanses of water where we are, just tucker boxes.

    Jan Juc huh? I grew up in Anglesea, so I used to know the swell, I mean area, very well. Maybe after practice on Thursday over a few bevvies & the sausage sizzle I can share some tips.

    By the way, its a slab per player for entry onto our hallowed turf. As most of the Hoppers are underage, we cant purchase it ourselves.

    No worries mate - we look forward to it. We will most likely travel with only the fit and healthy players so expect 20-21 slabs dropped off at the ground once we hit town. Any tips on how to shoot down the mighty Jan Juc Ducks on their home turf (without resorting to nukes) would be warmly received.

    I smell a trade discussion looming. You need defenders I need a legitimate playing forward. Ignore the fact that we just beat you. Snoz commiseration round is over, let's talk turkey.

    List Update - Our meteoric rise from deplorable to mediocrity has hit somewhat of a hurdle. As the only US based Manager, we feel the correlation between Trump's rise to the Republican Presidential candidate & our injuries/form are directly related. We take solace in the fact that if (god forbid) he wins, all other ORFFA coaches will be cowering in fear of The Donald being in charge of the BIG RED BUTTON.

    DEFENSE:
    JKolo - spud now broken
    Aish - spud
    Weitering - broken
    Marsh - broken
    Whitecross - who?
    Scharenberg - dead
    Mullett - spud

    MIDDLE:
    Rockliff - great, spud, broken (repeat)
    Adams - great, broken, great (repeat)
    JOR - who ?
    Freeman - dead
    Dumont - who?

    FORWARDS:
    Boekhorst - broken
    Cockatoo - broken
    Brayshaw - broken

    Uneventful MSD period at the Hoppers - cos ya know, we are that good :)

    DELIST: WhiteX & Mullett

    DRAFTED: Two lads under the guidance (read: pain inducing) of Ross Lyon:

    1. Ethan Hughes DEF - 21 yr old 2014 Rookie Draft pick #14. Only played four games to date but ave 70 & shows promise.
    2. Samuel Collins DEF - 22 yr old 2015 National Draft pick #55. Five games to date, ave 77. Ex Hawks VFL standout

    Needed Defenders, went and got two I really like......cos ya know, I have such a great eye for talent :)
