ORFFA Round 5 - Chocolate Football Round – Review Apologies for the tripe below. A bit of talk in the chat this week about ‘spuds and duds’ and ‘overs and unders’, so let’s take a look at this week’s games from that point of view but using ‘studs’ (90+) and ‘duds’ (50 or less) instead. Junee Jaguars 1182 def by Cradle Mountain Devils 1304 The Jags had 4 players over 90 – including 3 over 140 – but this was more than offset by the 5 that didn’t get to 50. On the flip side, the Devils consistency saw them home with 9 players scoring 90 or better and just the 2 failing to make 50. Jags Studs: 4 – Taranto, Whitfield, Flynn, Kelly Duds: 5 – Briggs, Fisher, Ward, Byrnes, Cadman Devils Studs: 9 – Vlastuin, McDonald, Mannagh, Hopper + five more in the 90s Duds: 2 – Greene, Steele Dunsborough Dung Beetles 1145 def Iron Knob Codpieces 1053 Only 13.5 for the Beetles with both Finlayson and Richards in the fwd were no shows and only Hoskin-Elliott available to cover - plus half of Mac Andrew in the ruck. Nonetheless, that was enough against a Cods line up that copped a couple of sub 20s. Dung Beetles Studs: 4 – Freijah, Roberts, Green, Atkins Duds: 1 – Andrew Codpieces Studs: 3 – Martin, Witts, Macrae Duds: 4 – El-Hawli, Hanily, Reid, de Goey Gariwerd Cockatoos 1119 def Wagga Wagga Wombats 1061 Playing one short each and with two duds a piece – did you two pre-arrange something here? - the margin here is probably summed up by the 3 extra Cockies that made it past 90. Cockatoos Studs: 6 – Farrell, Bowey Miller, Draper, Crouch, Wicks Duds: 2 – Jiath, King Wombats Studs: 3 – Libba, Rozee, Hewett Duds: 2 – Bergman, Setterfield Waikickamoocow Incorrigibles 1088 def Venus Bay Vultures 992 Did someone forget to tell a few Vultures when the game was? 15 v 12 in the end ensures the Cows get it done. Four studs a piece but even the Cows couple of duds were a help against 3 donuts. Cows Studs: 4 – Rivers, Hinge, O’Brien, Fletcher Duds: 2 – Bailey, Treacy Vultures Studs: 4 – Pickett, NWM, Danger, Howe Duds: 0 – well….3 donuts Mount Beauty Uglies 1220 def by Nareewillock Nuffers 1235 Nuffers get it done in a tight one over the Uglies. Possibly a touch lucky with Darcy subbed out for the Uglies in the opening quarter. That’s footy though and there are no guarantees. 7 studs is a good effort though. Uglies Studs: 5 – Butters, Gawn, Viney, Walsh, Petracca Duds: 4 – Darcy, Fogarty, Boak, Rioli Nuffers Studs: 7 – Idun, Rowell, Richards, Serong + three more in the 90s Duds: 4 – Ryan, Brown, Jones, Bedford Charlies Opening Spelunkers 1411 def Gundagai Grasshoppers 1346 Confirmed - Bandit whines about fk all. Imagine complaining after posting 1400 - spare me. Just shit luck of the draw for Snoz and the Hoppers this week given their score would have beaten everyone else. Spelunkers Studs: 7 – Daicos, Bont, Brayshaw, Meek, Merrett, Waterman, Blakey Duds: 1 – Ashcroft Hoppers Studs: 5 – Newcombe, Dawson, Neale, Curnow, Oliver Duds: 1 – Saad Lovely Banks Lilacs 1111 def Birdsville Battlers 1051 Even with 14.5, the Lilacs were too good for a Battlers team that carried the most duds for the round, with 6 listed, but I really should add the coach/list manager as well and make it 7. Lilacs Studs: 5 – Amon, Wilkie, Bolton, McLean, Heeney Duds: 5 – Trainor, Moore, Jones, Larkey, Wood Battlers Studs: 5 – Kennedy, Cerra, Rowbottom, TDK. Andrews, Duds: 6 – Gross, Cleary, Moore, Lobb, Flanders, Humphrey Wineglass Bay Packers 1297 def Larrikin Lagoon Lefties 1084 13 v 15? No worries at all for the Packers who easily accounted for a full complement of Lefties. Nine Packers went past 90 and just the one failed to make 50, while the Lefties back line was.... underwhelming. Packers Studs: 9 – Hewett, Taylor, Daicos, Callaghan, Noble, Sanders, Ash + two more in the 90s Duds: 1 – Collins (2 donuts I guess) Lefties Studs: 3 – Xerri, SPP, Anderson Duds: 4 – Perryman, Sinn, Budarick, Bowes Good luck to all this week.
Great work mate, thanks. Makes sense that most games were won by the team with more studs and/or less duds/donuts. Big games from the two teams with 9 studs each!
Also, how are the Wombats @Lenny120 Currently a winning record and sitting in the top-8, but just 92% for & against percentage. The only teams with a worse percentage are the 3 winless teams. We had a good tussle this week and I was lucky to get up. Im very surprised to also have a winning record at 3-2!
oh, also, @JC I didnt play one short. Ethan Read actually played and scored zero, so he was another dud for me!
@anthak A pity that the Ethan Read playing zero wasn’t notified to the “powers that be” prior to the round rollover as a playing zero or negative score often activated the emergency score such as for the Shags vs Wedge Island game in the triple F, I will adjust Wedge Islands score by 55 points for the purposes of the largest largest of victory and the lowest aggregate in that league.
that's not tripe, that's cold hard facts... Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer could do with some of your astuteness Spelunkers trying to fly under the radar, but The Bont screwed that up... what a first game back!
I did notice that in the FFF but didnt mention it because it didnt effect the result of the game, but you're right, the aggregate score of 1758 is super low and worth recording correctly!
