I just realised we didn’t have a thread this round! ORFFA Round 17/AFL Round 21 Friday 4th August THEME – Left Footers Round August 13 is International Left-handers Day, a day where all things backwards and awkward(s) are brought forward(s) and celebrated in a way that befits the brilliance and general all-round special-ness of left-ness. We at the ORFFA are celebrating a week early, due to the supposed need to schedule finals next week. Lovely Banks Lilacs v Charlies Opening Spelunkers Marble Bar Misfits v Larrikin Lagoon Lefties Mt Beauty Uglies v Iron Knob Codpieces Nareewillock Nuffers v Gundagai Grasshoppers Venus Bay Vultures v Gariwerd Cockatoos Wagga Wagga Wombats v Foul Bay Chickens Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles v Dunsborough Dung Beetles Whitsunday Warriors v Cradle Mountain Devils Wineglass Bay Packers v Birdsville Battlers
The rollover has now taken place, so we can see the final ladder etc! Remarkably LLL have finished with a draw to move up to 13th on the ladder with 5 wins and the draw for the season! I think this is the first time they haven’t finished bottom-2 since they won the premiership in 2016! Well done @That KI Guy things are on the up in the Goon!
messages sent to @snoz and @ChiefRussell for the first round finals pick Once they are done I will post the fiuxture and thread for first week of finals Will also post some threads for next year etc soon before everyone drops off for the off season, give me a day or two on those
Another remarkable rise up to 20666 points-for in 2023! To make the finals for the first time in the club’s history. That’s an extra 147 points per round over last year.
Not to mention @chris88 's side have knocked over the Hoppers to end the regular season with an exclamation mark.
The Nuffers have had a fair amount of luck this year - but having a consistent 15 players on the park (including a functioning ruck most weeks between three Richmond back-ups) has been a big boost. No massive injuries too, so the non-playing non-depth hasn't been tested as much as it could be. Some tough decisions to make come delistment time - youth that haven't played that I want to keep vs guys that I could upgrade on but who will play each week. Plus the Nuffers need a midfield beyond what they have. Might have to do some trading...
OK, fixture has been decided... but I can't upload it at the moment... will sort that out!
