    Round 17 (AFL 20) … Left Footers Round
    The fifth year running for this theme. If only we'd trademarked the naming rights three years ago, we'd be moderately wealthy. Goofies are celebrated this week for good reason, they rock! http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-02-08...

    Lovely Banks Lilacs v Gundagai Grasshoppers
    Marble Bar Misfits v Gariwerd Cockatoos
    Venus Bay Vultures v Wagga Wagga Wombats
    Larrikin Lagoon Lefties v Foul Bay Chickens
    Iron Knob Codpieces v Mt Beauty Uglies
    Cradle Mountain Devils v Nunawading Nuffas
    Birdsville Battlers v Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles
    Charlies Opening Spelunkers v Whitsunday Warriors
    Wineglass Bay Packers v Darraweit Guim Dirigibles


    Last round of the season before finals, last round to decide those finals bound, and for those tanking for draft picks, we will be running the Zac Dawson Cup again this year also.

    The Misfits look remarkably like this for their final "real" hitout of 2016.
    Looking for serious improvement next year, one can only remain shit for so long and maintain fans and sponsors

    MIDFIELDER
    Callan Ward, Josh Kelly, Luke Dunstan, Lachie Whitfield (Matthew Kennedy)
    RUCK

    Cradle Mountain’s Round 17 (ORFFA) team

    In: T Boyd
    Out: T Nankervis (omitted),

    Def: N Vlastuin, L Spurr, J Lever, S Gilbert (N Smith)
    Mid: S Pendlebury, S Grigg, D Zaharakis, J Gresham (J Redden)
    Ruc: J Roughead
    Fwd: D Zorko, S Johnson, T Membrey, D Petrie (J Walker)
    Inter: T Boyd, H Himmelberg (T Nankervis)

    Even if it harms their draft prospects the Devils want a win which would enable them to improve their all-time ORFFA home and away record to 42 wins, 42 losses and one abandoned. Surely then the Devils would have demonstrated that they have mastered the art of being mediocre and can attempt to step up a level and becoming better than mediocre. Expect the game against the Nuffers to be decided by less than 100 points.

    Lefties load up for the biggest "Investigator Strait Shit-fight" by unveiling........SCOOTER!!!!!!
    (We had almost forgotten we still had this inaugural player on our list).

    In - Scooter and just about every defender on our books.
    Out - a couple of guys who arguably didn't even deserve a bench spot.


    True. We can't claim top spot, but a psychological victory becons as we roll into ORFFA finals.

    Def - Gibbo, Haynes, Fisher, Bugg (Duryea)
    Mid - Mitchell, Lewis, Priddis, BJ (Smith)
    Ruck - Goldy
    Fwd - Joey, Lynch, Wells, Hill (Taberner)
    I/C - Langford, Scooter (Lloyd)

    Go your hardest Chief.

    Not sold on team selections at all this week so this is what's been saved in TS Leagues for now. Still short on defenders - need Adams and/or Saad to come back - but do have 9 forwards to choose from for some reason:

    IN: Cooney, Hrovat (for his debut for the Guim nearly 14 months after arriving)
    OUT: Hill (reluctantly), Walters

    DEF: Rance, May, McDonald-Tipungwuti, Byrne-Jones (Stratton)
    MID: Coniglio, Newnes, Tyson, Young (Hill)
    RUCK: Nicholls
    FWD: Harvey, Lyons, Cooney, Hrovat (Walters)
    I/C: Brown, Ceglar (Greenwood)

    If anyone had said at the start of the year that my Round 20 forwardline would feature Lyons, Cooney and Hrovat (and not Walters or Shane Edwards) I'd have checked their temperature.

    Good luck Tracey - you're in with a massive show this week given the team you've named.

    Other than some locally produced anti-freeze ;), we do make regular trips along the Birdsville Track and Outback Highway down to the Barossa and generally lug a healthy selection back with us. Got a couple of bottles of the 2012 Ron Thorn Shiraz from down that way - best red at last year's International Wine and Spirit Competition. Otherwise, we do keep a good selection of QLD wines on hand as well and the Nebbiolo from Ballandean Estate may take your fancy.

    Just travelled back through this (Ballandean) neck of the woods and can concur, some great stuff to mull over. Can recommend Pyramids Rd Merlot as an acceptable swill.

    Thanks JC, much appreciated. It is interesting the differences in the ANZAC cultures - e.g., you guys have the salvos, we have the sallies. A good mate who used to have a smallish vineyard reckoned that in a good year he made a decent paint stripper. :spoton: Anti-freeze equivalent I guess.

    Is Ron Thorn connected / related in some way to the Thorn Clark brand whose Shotfire Ridge was often a decent example of a Barossa shiraz? Nothing like some wine suggestions to get the ORFFA radar to hum.

    The Lovely Banks/Gundagai matchup sees both teams around the 1250 mark.

    One would think that 2017 may see these two teams make significant further strides.

    with a finals spot guaranteed for the first time ever, I think Gariwerd have relished the pressure-free game and come out firing!

    That's good to hear Ant. Some members of my mob played like rubbish. Desperately need a back man to return, and have to find a replacement for Sideshow Brown. A potential 1300+ ended up about 1255 or so .... Oh well.
