The Bunyips continue to struggle to fill a full side.... If Mrs Pendles spits out a baby this weekend, there is a chance Mayne gets a run. DEF: Laird, Marchbank, SD Thompson, Geary (Atley) MID: Pendles, R Gray, Ziebell, S Mitchell (Langford) RUC: Jacobs FWD: Cameron, Silvagni, Lambert, Mayne (D Pearce OOP) INT: Naismith, Kelly
Gisborne team at home against @JPK's Prospectors D: Grundy, Wilson, Talia, Hombsch (Harwood) M: Neale, Fiorini, Masten, Billings R: Witts F: Steele, Douglas, Casboult, Gresham I: Powell-Pepper, Hamling
Pakenhams lineup B: Simpson, Brown, Short, Hughes. (Gilbert) M: Ablett, Sidebum, Watson, Gaff. (Newnes) R: Vardy. (Tippett) F: Roo, Bud, Carlisle, Hipwood. (Schache) I: BJ, Blicavs In, Hughes, Hipwood Out, Hogan, Lang
Round 8 Team - Groote Eylandt Barracudas Def: Shaun Burgoyne, Jake Lloyd, Cameron Sutcliffe, James Frawley (Jacob Weitering) Mid: Daniel Hannebery, Dayne Zorko, Marcus Bontempelli, Patrick Cripps (Jarrod Berry) Ruck: Rhys Stanley Fwd: Tom Hawkins, Lin Jong, Tom Phillips, Cameron Guthrie (oop) Int: Trent Cotchin, Jordan Lewis (Matt Dea) Out: Jonathan Giles, Jarrad Waite, Robert Murphy In: Cameron Sutcliffe, James Frawley, Jarrod Berry Some major outs this week with Waite's suspension, Giles terrible performance in round 7 and Murphy needing a rest already, he's already had last year off. With Stanley taking up the Big Tap duties it's left a pretty sizeable hole up forward, the club is hoping for Cam Guthrie to show what he's made of.
No King Island team @Tylo ? Looks like a few changes made on tsleagues this week but still looking at 3 donuts...
Looks like you only missed Bell's 64 - still would've copped 2 donuts. The Blowflys turned up to play this week @Tylo so it wouldn't have made any difference I'll post a match report tonight if I get the time otherwise later in the week
Banchang's team for the Round 9 trip to Coolgardie. DEF: M.Suckling, M.Adams, N.Newman, Z.Tuohy MID: T.Adams, E.Langdon RUC: C.Sinclair FWD: S.Higgins I/C: G.Ibbotson OUT: Gray Impey Amon Lyons Hall Wright Sexton (bye) IN: Newman
Your Southern Cross Sandgropers for the Round 9 visit of our bogey team @Batfink's Hughenden Prairie Dogs IN: M.Wallis, J.Harmes, D.Prestia, Jor.Roughead OUT: C.Rioli (knee), M.Paparone (omitted), D.Sheed (omitted), P.Ryder (rested) DEF: M.Hurley, M.Hibberd, J.Harmes, J.McGovern (M.Paparone) MID: M.Duncan, N.Fyfe, B.Cunnington, B.Crouch RUC: J.Roughead (D.Sheed - OOP) FWD: D.Smith, W.Hoskin-Elliott, J.Darling, M.Wallis (W.Milera) INT: L.Whitfield, D.Prestia (H.Taylor) Changes: Harmes gets a run on the extended bench after a BOG in the ressies last week with 41 possessions. Wallis makes his first appearance of the year in a very different looking forward line to 2016 after showing some form in the 2's since coming back from a bad leg break. Roughead is named as emergency and should he not suit up Sheed has raised his hand as a makeshift ruck in light of Ryder's desire to take a rest. Prestia is straight back in after two weeks off with a minor hammy and will be looking to make up for lost time. In somewhat bemusing circumstances for the selection committee some tough decisions have needed to be made this week due to a large number of the squad being available. So much so that the side has been able to name 4 emergencies and still have a couple running around in the ressies! The committee believe they have chosen the best available 15 and are firmly of the belief that this is a side that can finally break the drought against the P-Dogs. A win for SCS would see our record improve to 6&3 and firmly placing us in our best position ever with only one more match until the byes. The locals are excited, the players are pumped...Go Gropers!
Grenades have suffered mildly in comparison to Banchang, losing only 4 starting players but having replacements for 3 of them for the home match against @HOLKY's Eden. Big Wittsy remains second on the Big Tap leaderboard but may lose positions at no fault of his own D: Grundy, Wilson, Talia, Harwood M: Neale, Billings, Stevens, Masten R: Ambrose (OOP) F: Steele, Douglas, Gresham, Casboult I: Hamling, Lloyd

@choppers I feel for you bloke with 9 players that would have a bye regardless if they were in or not
Round 9 - Korumburra Blowflys vs Serengeti Buffalos It's the longest "road" trip in the league this week for the Blowflys (9th) travelling across the Indian Ocean to take on the rampaging Buffalos (1st). Despite Serengeti being perched nicely on top of the ORFFU ladder and Korumburra sitting just outsde the top 8, the difference in scoring between the 2 teams is only around 70 points per game each week (or around 4.5 points per player). These numbers coupled with rumours of a mild case of Ebola sweeping through the Serengeti team, have KBFC bullish about their chances. After pulling off an upset against the Monarchs last week to get back on the winners list, the Blowflys are feeling quietly confident of backing up and doing it again this week. Three changes this week with Hunt, Barlow and Cockatoo out. We welcome back excitement machine AMT to add another spark to the forward line. He's joined by hard nut Matt Kennedy and explosive youngster Jordan Gallucci in for his first game for the mighty Blowflys! Gallucci wil be the 4th of KB's recent draftees to get an early game, following on from Ainsworth, Florent and Fisher. Get games into these kids! IN : A. McDonald-Tipungwuti, M. Kennedy, J. Gallucci OUT : J. Hunt (concussion) M. Barlow (rested) Cockatoo (rested) NEW : J. Gallucci D - S. Docherty, J. Johannisen, L. Hodge, A. McDonald-Tipungwuti (EMG J Hunt) M - R. Sloane, S. Menegola, L. Picken, B. Hartung (EMG Z. Fisher) R - T. Goldstein F - M. Walters, S. Johnson, P. Puopolo, J. Gallucci (EMG O. Florent) IC - J. Redden, M. Kennedy (EMG N. Cockatoo)
The Hughenden Prairie Dogs team for round 9 is as follows:- Def: Bradley Sheppard, Lee Spurr, Callum Mills, Ricky Henderson (Griffin Logue) Mid: Callan Ward, Dylan Shiel, Clayton Oliver, Levi Greenwood (Ben Howlett) Ruc: Aaron Sandilands Fwd: Elliott Yeo, Luke Breust, Tim Membrey, Josh Green Int: Liam Shiels, Nick Graham
Bunyips line up for this weekend. DEF: Laird, Marchbank, SD Thompson, Geary (Atley) MID: Pendles, D Pearce, Ziebell, S Mitchell (Langford) RUC: Jacobs FWD: Cameron, Silvagni, Lambert, Dickson INT: Sheridan, Kelly One can only hope my opponent has a team stacked with GC and PA players
The not-quite-as-decimated Coolgardie side, hosting the CarBrawlers this weekend: Def: J Macmillan, T Barrass, C Hooker, J Smith Mid: JP Kennedy, R Clarke, D Petrie (OOP), J Ramsay (OOP) - A Aliir (OOP) Ruc: S Mumford Fwd: J Redpath, M Wright, O Fantasia, J Watts - C Brown Int: S Martin, M Baguley Surely the AFL learns from this BS, and doesn't schedule a silly overseas game weeks out from the regular (and equally as silly) bye rounds, completely ruining fantasy footy for all the fans of the game!
