ORFFA Round 2 (AFL Round 4) Terry's Round Each season around the start of April we raise a glass and pay our respects to our friend Terry. Stalwart of this fair site and of this fair league, the ORFFA premiership cup is of course named after him. Its been a little while now, but we still miss you Terry.

Reminder to get our teams in this week given Easter is upcoming. Also, a reminder that GWS and StKilda have the bye this round (which also means the Nuffers will probably struggle to field a team!)
About 8 players short this week, oof. Possibly the most understrength team the Nuffers have fielded in a couple of years, which should be good for a laugh. D - Dale, Clark, Brown, Blakiston M - Serong, JHF, Richards, Warner R - Langford OOP F - West, Ross, Butler, Marshall (Voss) IC - Rowell, Steele Debuts for Steele and Blakiston. Roll on next week or two when I should get 6 guys back and have 4 guys become DPP.

The earlier game was an ORFF* 10’s game during AFL Round 2. At home the Grasshoppers recorded a 56 point victory, 927-871 against Cradle Mountain. For the return bout the Devils host the Hoppers in a 15 player Round 2 (AFL Round 4) ORFFA game.
Lowest score of the round! Badge of honour right there. Well done @Tracey. Looking at the scores, I think a few of us are happy that playing over bye rounds is done. I'm looking forward to making about 8 changes to the Nuffers team next week.
