Round 16 Date Friday 26.07.2019 – AFL Round 19 THEME: Imports Round Bíonn tionchar suntasach ag imreoirí ó thíortha eile ar ár gcluiche iontach de Rialacha na hAstráile. Ní hamháin go bhfuil lucht féachana cosúil le Tadhg Kennelly, Nic Naitanui agus Mason Cox go hiontach le faire, ach meabhraíonn dúinn cé go bhféadfaimis Rialacha na hAstráile a chluiche, is cinnte go bhfuil an cluiche domhanda anois.

Spelunkers Team for match of the round against the Larrikin Lagoon Lefties @That KI Guy Son of a gun Rhylee West getting his first game for the dogs, and Jez McLennan named on extended bench for the Suns... draft picks starting to come through Def: Riley Bonner, Aaron Francis, Darcy Gardiner, Jayden Short MId: Marcus Bontempelli, Zac Merrett, Rory Atkins, Bayley Fritsch Ruck: Sean Darcy Fwd: Sam Petrevski-Seton, Tarryn Thomas (OOP), Lachlan Murphy, Nick Blakey Bench: Sydney Stack, Andrew Brayshaw (Rhylee West)
Well is a long way to Tipperary (from KI) but our solitary import is right at home at the 'Goon. Our Savage Col also gets the hit out duties against the might of Hodor. Should be an telling battle. Lefties 14.5 troops Def - Hardwick, Perryman, Allen, Clark Mid - Dumont, Berry, Brayshaw, Phillips (O'Brien) Ruck - O'Riordan Fwd - Worpel, Lonie, Simpkin, Langford IC - Hately, Daicos Go Culchie Ciotógs Feck Off @Bandit
The Battlers are the FA's stingiest defensive unit so far this season, but look to be in for a workout against the league's highest scorers, Foul Bay, this week. Battlers for round 16 D: Ryan, Witherden, Blakely, Clarke M: Treloar, Hunter, Sheed, Smith R: Witts F: Acres, Cerra, Battle, Miers (Hipwood) IC: Rowbottom, Knight
No imports for the Nuffers unless family heritage qualifies Tom McDonald for Scotland via his great, great, great, great, great grandfather Ronald or Marymede Catholic College alumni Jack Petrucelle for the Azurri via his great, great, great, grandfather Antonio. This weeks squad of 19 as we host the Devils @dmandrews is as follows.
Packers DEFENDER Jack Silvagni, Nathan Wilson, Sam Taylor, Andrew McGrath MIDFIELDER Tom SCULLY, Luke Dunstan, George Hewett, RUCK Shane Mumford FORWARD Brandon MATERA, Jack Lukosius, Tom Lynch, Sam Reid INTERCHANGE Matthew Kennedy
A big improvement over last round, the cows may well field 13 players with Nat Fyfe coming straight back in. Should be enough against the 'hoppers.
No imports to declare, as far as our records show at least. DEFENDERS Jake Lloyd, Lachie Whitfield, Zachary Williams, Lachlan Weller - MIDFIELDERS Rory Sloane, Tim Taranto, Adam Tomlinson, Noah Answerth - RUCKS Patrick Ryder - FORWARDS Caleb Daniel, David Mundy, Jayden Laverde, Jamie Elliott - Tom McCartin INTERCHANGE Nick Haynes, Jamie MACMILLAN - Tom HICKEY In Weller, Elliott and Ryder Out Hickey, Brodie and Hayward @jimbowan has little to fear I fear

David Zaharakis and Dale Thomas have been recalled to fill the I2 and D4 positions respectively.
I obviously submitted my best lineup this week, as I always do, but I was really hoping for a loss against the Uglies as finals are not in the picture and we went into this game separated on the ladder by only percentage. What do we do... score the 3rd highest team total of the round FTW! Maybe if I hope to lose more often, my team might do a bit better! Mmmm
3 losses on the trot for the Misfires, Cods too good. Currently fighting for relevance and to avoid being the easy pickoff in the finals
Absolutely and if the Battlers manage to spoil the Lilacs party the Warriors vs Misfits game outcome will also be critical with Warriors needing to win and score enough points in the process. Good to see the regular season going down to the wire.
Im happy to see I am stuck in my current ladder position of 12th, no matter my result this weekend, so I wont be conflicted this week Watch out @Tracey
