The 29ers have managed to scrape together a squad of 14 for this week's clash with Nangkita @Dale Duivesteyn after a week of intense media and fan base scrutiny following a sub 800 score against the Shags. JDG is back from suspension, Tristan Xerri plays his first ORFF match of 2023, returning 29er Marc O'Connor makes his first start of his second stint and youngster Sam Banks (despite being named as IC emg) has debuted on Thursday night, with this to be made official once Toby Conway is a late out during the round. In addition an elusive 15 players onfield remains a possibility as Hunter Clark or Ben Long are chances to come into the side if they are named as AFL sub/s this week. The Bucks had copped a rough draw through 11 rounds and will be looking to finish the season strongly to secure a back to back finals berth with a win very likely against a team that will be satisfied with anything in the 1000-1100 point range.
Woops sorry guys didn't realise Jeremy Cameron didn't come back in, still have 15 playing although not the optimal lineup. Good to see Gawn vs Grundy H2H again!
Unofficial scores have the 9th placed Bucks @Dale Duivesteyn dispatching the 15th placed 29ers by 164 points (1383-1219) and improving to 5-7 with 3 rounds to play. How are the other 7 matches playing out?
Holy hell, I don't know where to post this, as no one in my life cares about fantasy! I just finished first for the round in Supercoach! No trades left, so team is probably rooted, but so good!
Ahhh, awesome, well done!! I saw this yesterday too, but didn’t know which James it was! I posted on the blog page, but I’ll update it now to tag you specifically. Great stuff mate

In a round of largely one side contests ORFFF Rd 12 winners were Heard Island, Wedge Island, Walpole, Useless Loop, Nangkita, Drouin, Neptune Island and Mole Creek by 4, 143, 150, 159, 167, 239, 263 and 323 points respectively. Walpole made it 10 straight and Drouin are now 6 on the trot, while new a coaching handover at Cockburn sees us farewelling @Len and welcoming @Vicwood to our comp from this week. Neptune Island has narrowed the gap to 4th spot to 59 points scored with 3 matches to go while the Fugs defeat and Ducks 3rd consecutive loss sees them both now only a game ahead of the Bucks, White Pointers and Shags in what looms as a tight race for the 2023 finals positions.
The run home for contenders for 4th, 7th and 8th positions 4th ULV 8-4 15573 points scored - Rd 13 NKB (5-7, 9th), Rd 14 MCG (11-1, 1st), Rd 15 RGF (6-6, 8th) 5th NIN 8-4 15514 points scored - Rd 13 MLA (10-2, 3rd), Rd 14 HIS (5-7, 11th), Rd 15 WPW (11-1, 2nd) —————————- 7th JJD 6-6 14819 points scored - Rd 13 DDB (7-5, 6th), Rd 14 CBA (3-9, 14th), Rd 15 29ers (3-9, 15th) 8th RGF 6-6 13998 points scored - Rd 13 MIW (1-11, 16th), Rd 14 PLP (3-9, 13th), Rd 15 ULV (8-4, 4th) 9th NKB 5-7 15363 points scored - Rd 13 ULV (8-4, 4th), Rd 14 WIW (5-7, 10th), Rd 15 PLP (3-9, 13th) 10th WIW 5-7 14996 points scored - Rd 13 29ers (3-9, 15th), Rd 14 NKB (5-7, 9th), Rd 15 HIS (5-7, 11th) 11th HIS 5-7 13795 points scored - Rd 13 MCG (11-1, 1st), Rd 14 NIN (8-4, 5th), Rd 15 (WIW 5-7, 10th)
Next 2 against the 2022 Grand Finalists and your lot most likely need to win 3 of 3 while looking to overtake the Fugs on points scored if they finish on 8 wins.
What’s this about Vicwood joining the league? Are they a real person? I’ve never seen them post on TS before?
