The crochet is more holes than yarn Bandito, and the yarn is very thin. Not ideal on a bleak day; very like this week's Cows' side. D - J McGovern, J McVeigh, H Taylor, J Dunkley* (oop) M - D Hannebery, T Mitchell, B Crouch, N Graham R - S Jacobs F - A Hall, D Menzel, B Griffiths, T Papley* I - M Robinson, TBA, (C Sinclair) The pre-game speech will focus on what a great opportunity this is for the guys who are not regular members of the Cows (yes, you five in the corner). Then on to the Bulls Hit Tavern for a few pre-game drinks lamely entitled "The President's Lunch." Not sure if Lenny is legally allowed to drink at home but that will not present a problem in the wilds of the western Hawkes Bay.
In a move that will have a direct impact on one of the spouse battles this weekend - bad news for the Misfits: Not only is Rory Laird out, but Paul Seedsman of the Packers comes in as his replacement. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-07-15/gun-crow-rory-laird-withdrawn-expie-paul-seedsman-rushed-in
We are all hanging on both versions of what you bet Len. The mind boggles, the tummy rumbles, the dishes beckon ... But what was the bet?
To counter Iron Knob having two specialist midfielders on the bench – Jackson Macrae and Luke Hodge, Cradle Mountain have made a late change to their bench with midfielder Jack Redden going from Mid emerg to Int 2 in a direct swap with Sam Gilbert. Harrison Himmelberg replaces Drew Petrie as the forward line emerg. The updated team is below. Cradle Mountain’s final Round 14 (ORFFA) team In: D Zaharakis, S Grigg, J Redden Out: L Shiels (hamstring), D Petrie (omitted), S Gilbert (omitted) Def: N Vlastuin, L Spurr, J Lever, Z Jones (D McStay) Mid: S Pendlebury, D Zaharakis, J Gresham, B Kennedy (S Gilbert) Ruc: J Roughead Fwd: D Zorko, S Johnson, T Membrey, J Steele (H Himmelberg) Inter: S Grigg, J Redden (N Smith)

It was fantastic to meet you last night Anthony - it only took me the bet part of five seasons to finally meet a fellow ORFFA coach. With the Cockatoos remaining very close to the middle of the ladder whilst Cradle Mountain have dropped down into the bottom third in 2016 I think the Cockatoos might have done enough to earn the title of most middle of the road ORFFA team for the first five seasons.
Meanwhile - if I put a team in this thread, and the team in the TS Leagues is different, which gets precedence? The team in this thread was the one I wished to field - particularly as Cooney had been dropped. But TS Leagues hasn't saved it - or at least not updated the changes I made.
