Make sure you have added all new shiny toys (draft selections) into your squad under TS Leagues. You should have a full list of 30 players. 2. Make sure you update your starting team sooner rather than later to ensure any bugs can be detected prior to next weekend. You can always adjust it post teams dropping later next week. 3. This week's lockout is Saturday 120pm and will be the first Saturday game for the remainder of ORFFF home and away then revert back to Friday nights for finals. 4. Welcome back all !!
Round 1 Drop Bears NWM, Sheezel, Darcy Moore, Florent (Stocker) Hopper, Andy Brayshaw, Naicos, Rozee (Darcy Wilson) Luke Jackson Zac Bailey, Jack Higgins, Ginnivan, Shai Bolton (Chol) Jack Graham, Mac Andrew (Seth Campbell)
It was a good PSD this year and most of my players are injury free. Briggs the only concern heading into RD1. Feel confident with the team list with the goal of making the finals.

Still 3 very empty teams in the Matchday window at the moment, so PLP @MrsBear, WIW @Bearfly and ULV @YAD69 please get at least your Blues and Tiges players loaded in either on field or as emergencies ASAP From TSstats this includes the following 10 players for your sides, cheers
Roll on 1 Def - Lloyd, Amon, Clark, McDonald (Maynard) Mid - Libba, Warner, Dawson, Powell (Johnson) Ruck - Gawn Fwd - McKay, Parker, Moore, Kennedy (Richards) IC - Viney, Sweet (Dempsey)
Round 1 - Useless Loop Virgins Def: James Sicily, Josh Battle, Steven May, Brennan Cox (Jacob Blight) Mid: Lachie Neale, Liam Baker, Steele Sidebottom, Ed Langdon Ruck: Jarrod Witts (Rhys Stanley) Fwd: Aaron Naughton, Cameron Zurhaar, James Jordon, Sam Switkowski (Nate Caddy) Int: Daniel McStay, Isaac Quaynor (Harry Armstrong)
Black Swamp Round 1 side The 29ers match committee have named their lineup (subject to change) for the Round 1 matchup with the Boozers @leematty1 Hardwick Cowan Noble Jeffrey - Chapman LDU J Daicos Bont Tsatas - O Hollands JHF B Daniels Lipinski Schultz - Sonsie Xerri - no emg Hall Goater - Banks The new season sees the 2025 squad’s depth on immediate display with the our final draft selection Max Hall lining upon the interchange, the redrafted Schultz starting as F4 and another redraftee Banks set as emergency along with Chapman, Sonsie and Hollands of the Ollie variety. Fellow preseason draftee Harry Sharp was an unlucky omission this week despite being named in the AFL as a couple of the 29ers onfield players enter the game under fitness clouds.
The Shags are struggling already. Not enough players fit to play this week, and we mistakenly decided to let our first draft pick Sam Lalor have a run in the magoos to start the season.
Woylies start the year with the following: Def: Whitfield, Martin, McGrath, Duggan (Andrews) Mid: Merrett, Rowbottom, Taranto, Oliver (D'Ambrosio) Ruck: English Fwd: Cameron, Wood, Stengle, Daniel (Cripps) Int: Cameron, O'Brien (Weitering)
The Boozers @leematty1 copped 3 in game injuries to the 29ers one, which meant their 1373 -1202 round 1 victory played out more like a regulation 300 point belting. It may take a while for rollover to occur, how did our other ORFFF matches play out ?
Great start with Ridley Langford and waterman all subbed out. Forward line will be tested this week between injuries and byes.
Unofficial Results Sherwood Magpies 1368 vs Macquarie Island Wales 1123 Great Start to the Season. Three new recruits made their way into the starting team and performed as expected. The midfield quartet of Rowell Cerra Callaghan Caldwell dominated, Worrell and Freijah strong in defense with Membrey bagging 4.
Not a good start, losing by almost 600 points in round 1! What a shellacking!! Well done to your team, @stowie you really stuck the boot in
@Vicwood, I am not sure whether you don’t already know or have forgotten but all out of position players named in the weekly lineup score at 50% of their SuperCoach score, as is the case with Windhager for the Whales in Round 1
Noahs were arguably kissed on the dick with a first round match up against the Ducks. Thankfully we didn’t do a “Vossy” and we have trotted out a 1400. Obviously we have peaked waaaay early and face the challenge of keeping our old dudes fit and focussed for 5 more months. Bring on the Virgins @YAD69
