The Nuffers have a sneaking suspicion that they are going to be thrashed by their co-tenants this weekend.
Sam, Brandan, Zac, the other Jeremy and Kaiden are looking forward to the NAIDOC round and the chance to celebrate their ancestry with big performances. In addition performing at the highest level to acknowledge Nat Fyfe's 200th game has added some extra pride into the cows fixture with the cockies.
Cradle Mountain Devils Round 14 team Out: A Naughton (concussion), J Redden (knee), D Heppell (thumb), N Vlastuin (knee) In: G Rohan (new), H Cunningham, Z Jones, M O’Connor Def: D Rich, J Lever, T Duryea, M O’Connor (R Tarrant) Mid: J Steele, J Hopper, S Pendlebury, C Mayne Ruc: T English Fwd: D Zorko, R Marshall, T Membrey, G Rohan (L Breust) Int: Z Jones, H Cunningham (J Mahony) Four forced changes for Cradle Mountain with Naughton, Redden, Heppell and Vlastuin all missing due to injury. Zak Jones and Mark O’Connor return from injury to be in the 15 man team and are joined as inclusions by Harry Cunningham and mid-season recruit Gary Rohan who is making his Devils debut. After last round’s away loss to Foul Bay by 289 points Cradle Mountain are only in the ORFFA top eight by points for and will relish the opportunity to play at home in familiar conditions where the maximum temperature will only be 7 degrees. The travelling Warriors may have some trouble adapting to the conditions as the minimum temperature at their home base at the Whitsundays this weekend is 20 degrees, 13 degrees more than the maximum at Cradle Mountain.
I think we’ve only got one Indigenous Australian person on the Gariwerd list at the moment. And he’s not playing this round unfortunately. Chad Wingard is a Kaurna man. He’s currently injured his hammy and we’re not sure yet when he’ll be back in the team.
A quick google search has me suspecting the two teams were still recovering from the Big Red Bash! A music festival held in Birdsville from 6-8th July
Not one for the purists, that's for sure! After seeing some of the scores for my lot over the weekend, I assumed the Battlers would post a shit score so came here looking to see how much we lost by. Turns out only half of those assumptions were correct.
