I know there has been heaps of issues with accessing the site yet again today, but why have my rucks all disappeared? Grundy has been removed from my team.

Don’t know what has happened but if you name a team in this thread, or are specific about what needs to be changed I will know whether you wanted Grundy as R1 or IC1/2 and fix it. edit @stowie @leematty1 Grundy has been added back into the Boozers lineup as R1.
The 29ers match committee have named their lineup (subject to change) for their match with the ladder leading Woylies @JC There are 3 changes from our Round 4 side with Noah Anderson, Tristan Xerri and Brent Daniels in replacing Joel Jeffery, Sam Banks and Oliver Hollands as we try to stay ahead in the W/L column. Blakey J Daicos Chapman Noble - O Hollands Bont H Young LDU Anderson - Lipinski H Thomas M Hall Daniels JHF - Jordon Madden - no emg Schultz Xerri - Cowan It appears that we have 3 players named for AFL duties that are lining up for the Black Swamp ressies and putting selection pressure on this week's starting side.
Woylies lineup to face the boys from Black Swamp @TheTassieHawk Andrews, Coleman, Daniel, Whitfield (Duggan) Merrett, Oliver, Richards, Reville (Rowbottom) D Cameron J Cameron, Yeo, Gothard, Wood (B King) McGrath, Weitering (McAuliffe)
It's pretty rare that we go into a game as the higher placed team on the ladder, and we want to keep it that way so we're pulling out all the stops to get this win! We've made some big decisions dropping 4 players (Schoenberg has likely played his last game for this club) and we've got some big ins including Lachlan Smith for his debut in the ruck)! We're also very excited to be able to name draftee Tom Burton as an emergency as he nears his debut. Heard Island Shags In: Ryan Maric, Lachlan Smith, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan, Mark Keane (Keane is doubtful, and Jedd Busslinger is set to make his season debut as Keane's replacement). Out: Zane Duursma, Harry Schoenberg, Zane Zakostelsky, Patrick Voss. DEF: Ryan Maric, Lachie Jaques, Judd McVee, Mark Keane (Jedd Busslinger) MID: Elijah Tsatas, Jagga Smith, Massimo D'Ambrosio, Zeke Uwland (Tom Burton) RUCK: Lachlan Smith FWD: Calsher Dear, Josh Treacy, Sam Lalor, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan (Zane Duursma) INT: Riley Bice, Sam Davidson
Please note that in the interest of competitive balance and based on four consecutive 530 point losses and multiple weekly donuts to commence the 2026 season, it has been determined that four North Melbourne Free Agents will be loaned to Jan Juc until the midseason break, these being :- - Aidan Corr, - Jack Darling, - Luke McDonald, and; - Charlie Spargo All 4 players will be returned to the Free Agent pool and be available for selection at the 2026 midseason draft.
Final unofficial score has the 29ers 15/1381 defeating the Woylies 15/1212 by 169 points with all 16 ORFFF teams now having tasted defeat at least once in 2026.
