    Sadly, due to a lack of interest the Misfits will not be playing a real ruck this week, the rest of our team will be plucked from a hat tomorrow evening after final squads (victims) are known.
    When you know your team is about to be hit by a bus, anyone too tall or slow to avoid flatlining is surplus, chooks by 382

    My mob:

    DEF: Savage, Rance, Astbury, May (EVM)
    MID: Lyons, Cogs, Newnes, Pretzels
    RUCK: Smith (yeah right) (Byrne-Jones OOP)
    FWD: Gunston, Walters, Shed, Brown (Jack)
    I/C: Hoskin-Elliott, Lewis

    No ruck as Zac Smith remains on Heard Island talking to a volleyball (I could argue Geelong coach Chris Scott is doing the same by leaving Smith out ...).

    Fill-in ruck Brad Hill injured practicing ruckwork at The Paddock during the week. Darcy Byrne-Jones come on down to play OOP.

    Brown comes in for his first game for the year in place of Caddy, who has been given a one-week club ban for tricking Smith into travelling to Heard Island last weekend by mistake.

    Depth being tested with a few starters out. Let's see what happens.

    When final teams for tonight’s game were announced on the AFL site, they listed Cam O’Shea on the interchange so I quickly went and added him to my ORFFA defence. I figured I must’ve missed some news about him being added to the squad, cause there weren’t any late changes.

    Then I was having another look at the teams just before and noticed he wasn’t listed on the team page, so I tried to change him out of my ORFFA team, I tried to put Chris Masten as def emergency and Lyndon Dunn onfield. I thought I pressed save at 7:49, but I must’ve just missed lockout :(

    Then I checked the final teams news on the AFL website and they’d fixed their error!

    Giving me an absolute bath Len. Daniel might outscore Goldy and I’m going to need about 300 points from Paddy and Joel to even make this contest interesting.

    I haven't had a chance to check anything this weekend, given it looks like as well as my 5' ruck I had a few underperformers you'd have to be very unlucky to lose!

    After 3 rounds and how many years, I'm in the 8.

    The purple haze is on the improve.

    Very exciting times ahead or we could now fall on our faces but at least this week we are in the 8.

    I thought my guys limped in, but you had some real shockers, I think your score is more of an aberration than mine :)

    A quick question - our Les W voting as it appears in the ORFFA section of the site doens't seem to be right.

    For example, Tom Mitchell has 24 votes/points, when he should have 14. Coniglio has about 10 too many votes too. Ditto a number of the other guys. Has something happened to add things up wrongly, or add extra points to players/count votes as double?
