THEME: Women’s Celebration Round This round is a chance to offer a shout-out to all the great women in our lives, all the great women who help steer the great game of Aussie Rules towards success, and of course all of those who play in the AFLW. For the ORFFA, this round is marked by a marquee match-up between @Jen's Lilacs and @Tracey's team from Wineglass Bay.

Spelunkers provisional team (names in bold playing tomorrow night) Def: Jayden Short, Aaron Francis, Liam Duggan, Riley Bonner (Taryn Thomas OOP) Mid: Marcus Bontempelli, Zac Merrett, Rory Atkins, Bayley Fritsch (Oliver Florent) Ruck: Sean Darcy Fwd: Jack Higgins, Mitch McGovern, Sam Petrevski-Seton, Nick Blakey, (Todd Marshall) Int: John Ceglar, Andrew Brayshaw, (Jack Bowes)
Likely Gariwerd Cockatoos team to host the Gundagai Grasshoppers. In: Douglas, Guthrie, Steven Out: Houli, Masten, donut. New: Both Douglas & Guthrie are set to play their first games since returning to the club. D: Hurn, Laird, Hanley, CGuthrie (TWalker - oop) M: NJones, Rockliff, Steven, TMiller (Masten) R: Bellchambers (ZClarke) F: Wallis, Lambert, Jenkins, Douglas (Ratugolea) I: MCrouch, JPKennedy. Notable absentees: Houli, Sandilands, Tuohy, & Wingard. Kane Lambert the only Collingwood or Richmond player, so the lineup could still change considerably.
Provisional Battlers team for R2. B: Ryan, Witherden, Clarke, McDonald M: Treloar, Hunter, Sheed, Smith R: Witts F: McKay, Knight, Cerra, Hipwood IC: Battle, Ronke Only Treloar playing tomorrow night. Some of the others are less than certain starters this week.
Struggling to settle on a lineup and can't preempt much until teams come out. For now, Elliott is a fwd and Aish is on the interchange
I think you would be safe assuming that Prestia, my sole selected pie or tiger, will be in the midfield if he is fit to play. If he does not get up I am not sure if Jack Ross will get a run, but if he does it will not be as an E. Cannot be more enigmatic than that.
The Lilacs team for Round 2 against @Tracey's Packers BOLD are playing tonight D - Stewart, Langdon, Rampe, Moore EMG - Jones M - Duncan, Ross, Tyson, Lloyd EMG - Gibbons R - Sinclair F - Heeney, Wright, Westhoff, Parish EMG - Ryan I - Jonas, Thomas EMG - Banfield
Just a reminder to all coaches that loopholing players is no longer permitted, as the rules were amended in the off season.
Unfortunately Richie Douglas has pulled up sore after training last night and is no certainty to make his return to Gariwerd. Taylor Walker comes into the fwd line in his stead.
4 ORFFA teams haven't previously joined the ORFF* Knockout comps and it woudl great to see a few of them join up for 2019 and help the ORFFA to improve previous efforts in both comps @JC @jimbowan @That KI Guy @bama - deadline is 8pm tonight so please do so asap http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orff-knockout-comps-entry-for-2019.90394/
Cradle Mountain Devils Round 2, 2019 team vs @Fitzy's Venus Bay Vultures No changes Defenders - M Hurley, D Thomas, N Vlastuin, Z Jones (D Rich) Midfielders - S Pendlebury, D Heppell, D Zorko, J Steele (J Hopper) Rucks - T Nankervis Forwards – L Breust, T Lynch, J Gresham, H Himmelberg (T Membrey) Int: D Zaharakis, J Redden (A Naughton) Several players had claims to be promoted into the Devils side after their performances at state league level last week including pre-season recruit Rich, and former Round 1 PSD draft picks Naughton and Hopper however the Devils match committee have opted to go into their Round 2 match against the Vultures unchanged. The highlight will be watching arguably the ORFFA's two deepest midfields do battle.
Lefties Round 2 Def - McKenzie, O'Riordan, Hardwick, Allen (Cole) Mid - Brayshaw, Berry, Phillips, Dumont (Sparrow) Ruck - Smith (Cousins) Fwd - Worpel, Langford, Gowers, Lonie (Giro) IC - Simpkin, Clark

The Nuffers Round 2 side - subject to late changes following announcement of final Sunday teams In - Tucker, Petrucelle Out - Hore, Guelfi We welcome the Warriors @TerryinBangkok to our patch as both teams strive for their first W of the season. Numbers are already running thin for the home side with Guelfi the only emergency named to play.
Sorry, I don’t understand the reference, but... No he isn’t, however we are now on the lookout for new staff and we could consider him if available. The current medical team isn’t performing too well. Players on our list currently injured include: Grant Birchall, Cam Guthrie, Cale Hooker, Bachar Houli, Zach Tuohy, Richie Douglas, Chad Wingard, Scott Selwood, Aaron Sandilands. With such an old list, an injury list like this is to be expected to some extent, however we need our medical team to turn things around fairly quickly, as it looks like we’ll be forced to play Chris Masten out of position in defence this week. Fingers crossed things improve from here.
Battlers Round 2 In: Acres, Ronke Out: Doedee, Hipwood B: Ryan, Witherden, Clarke, McDonald M: Treloar, Hunter, Sheed, Smith R: Witts F: Acres, McKay, Knight, Cerra, (Hipwood) IC: Battle, Ronke
