ORFFA Round 1 (AFL Round 1) Non Opening Round opening round Welcome to a new season of ORFFA action, where we are comfortable with ourselves and not at all insecure and not at all looking to hash up a fake Opening Round to try and compete with other codes or other fantasy leagues outside of Victoria. No sir-ee, our opening round is Round 1, and that is how it is going to be forever ... or at least until any of the ORFFs look to start their season in the final round of pre-season practice matches. If that happens, you know it'll mean war. Wineglass Bay Packers vs Dunsborough Dung Beetles Charlies Opening Spelunkers vs Iron Knob Codpieces Cradle Mountain Devils vs Birdsville Battlers Lovely Banks Lilacs vs Larrikin Lagoon Lefties Marble Bar Misfits vs Gundagai Grasshoppers Wagga Wagga Wombats vs Mount Beauty Uglies Venus Bay Vultures vs Nareewillock Nuffers Gariwerd Cockatoos vs Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles
Dunsburough player group is up and about after a draft and dispersal haul this year. Word is that we trained the house down and completed the rebuild in a single off-season. Herculean effort. Wineglass Bay Packing themselves by all accounts. Can you blame them?
In total contrast, the Spelunkers have only just returned from their end of season trip, are hungover, unfit and totally unprepared. Not setting a great example for the new recruits, but hey, why try and put lipstick on a pig

Think the Nuffers only had Jack Ross running around this evening. Rest of the team will be locked in tomorrow.
Nuffers team for Round 1 DEF: Redman, Richards, Clark, Idun (Howes) MID: Rowell, Serong, Gulden, Warner R: Soldo FWD: Cameron, Langford, Bedford, Daniels (Marshall) I/C: Ross, Horne-Francis (West) Toby Bedford and Kyle Langford debut, while West, Howes and Zerk-Thatcher were close to playing their first games for the Nuffers as well. Hoping the cobbled together forward line holds together and Charlie Cameron can give us a few more games of magic. Either that or one of my mids becomes a mid/fwd pretty quickly.
