Round 2 was challenging many of us, to the point where naming a team was almost impossible. Round 3 (currently) looks like this for the AFLW The ORFFW fixture for this week is below; NB there is a WBD vs Lions game to be threaded into the season at some point. It hasn't been announced how points will be scored for this in our league but it's unlikely to be a double score. Note - round lockout orginally scheduled for 110pm Sunday will be rolled back until 710pm Tuesday whenever @walesy has been able to amend the Round 3 fixture in TsLeagues. Be at it, and may your squad be covid free!

Thanks @Len for getting this weeks thread up and running! As stated last week's matchups were put into chaos with the postponement of the WBD v BL match and as such we have decided to put together some standing rules to assist coaches moving forward in the event another postponement occurs... The biggest difference will be topups vs awarded (or average) scores and how these are decided. Deadline for our league for postponed matches is 12pm Friday (Melb time) to allow for topups to be selected, from that point (ie from 12:01pm) on a first in best-dressed basis. If a match is postponed after 12pm Friday (i.e. snap postponement on a Sunday, god forbid!) then awarded (average) scores will come into play. Topups are 1:1 for affected players at the time the request is placed, scoring at normal rates (no discounting). Players with Long Term Injuries (think Dakota Davidson, Grace Egan, etc) can be included in the topups, however those with declared season ending injuries (Davey, Huntington, Lutkins) cannot be included. Awarded scores will be scaled at 75% of the yearly average to date. The mid season draft isn't too far away and it's an opportunity to re-assess your list and draft strategically for the remainder of the year so that hopefully awarded scores don't become a major factor. You can only make 1 topup request per team per round - this becomes very important to get the timing right as if you pick your topups too early, ie from 1201pm onwards on the Friday and they aren't named in the Saturday or Sunday teams.... bad luck!! The ORFFW round will be considered cancelled only if there are 4 or more postponements in a single round at the midday Friday deadline, as awarded scores will come into play if postponements are declared during the round. Thanks to @TheTassieHawk and @anthak for the hours of work we've put in to try and keep this competition fair for all, easy to understand for everyone and as always remember that we are here to enjoy the competition and have fun! Can everyone please like the post to ensure we have all read and understood.... @anthak @TheTassieHawk @Len @Pearcey47 @ver_redit_optatum @Tracey @Peter W @Lachlan Brown @That KI Guy @dmandrews @Esther
There is a poll regarding the MSD please vote ASAP as we would like to advise as soon as possible regarding scheduling http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/2022-orfw-midseason-draft-poll.91064/
Thanks @Lachlan Brown - make sure to keep an eye on AFLW teams as they drop and in particiular for any injuries/ HSPs affecting your team such as whether Lampard is back for the Dees in which case Rajcic might be good cover at Def Emg rather than IC Emg, Toogood and Dawes will also be watches after the WB and Lions postponements last week and reports that some (undisclosed) players are not back to full health. While Molan is still to be confirmed as per https://www.richmondfc.com.au/football/aflw/injury-list
The shit sandwich continues to deliver, 2 games cancelled, 2 of the involved teams playing each other while the Bulldogs and Gold Coast miss the round.
Bulldogs and Gold Coast MAY miss the round, it depends on whether there are further AFLW announcements and also WHEN. Just putting our heads together before we advise more, also Friday teams https://www.womens.afl/news/81177/f...uit-managed-as-cats-swing-axe-gun-pie-returns
Attention ORFFW coaches Please note that we are awaiting to see any further changes to the Round 3 AFLW match schedule by Friday 12 noon (Melb time) We have also decided that if there is no change to the status quo that the Round 3 topup window will open at that time, and that all Gold Coast and Bulldogs players must be removed from your Round 3 lineups by Sunday morning at the latest unless their match has been rescheduled. As advised earlier topups are selected on a first in, best dressed basis and there is a limit of 1 request per team so choose your window wisely. Please also note that a rolling lockout will apply for this round with the intention that the current Sunday 110pm round lockout will be pushed back to Tuesday 710pm. Please post any questions about this advice below.
The above poll closes this afternoon, so far we have had 9 votes with overwhelming support for a draft night, can the other 3 coaches please vote by 430pm to indicate a preference for which week we hold it, as that vote is quite close.

https://www.womens.afl/news/81260/saturday-teams-saints-drop-cult-hero-rox-star-returns Quite a few ins and outs hopefully everyone manages to dodge enough of the bullets to get 13 plus a few emergencies this week. and here is a Rd3 preview Full AFLW R3 preview: Fresh face-off for two teams, tough task for struggling Saints (womens.afl)
The Krushers team is in and with topups all from tonights game we are crossing our fingers that Tuesday doesn't bring any more HSP's.... Def: Kerryn Harrington, Jess Dal Pos, Hannah Priest (Claudia Gunjaca) Mid: Hayley Miller, Dana Hooker, Jaimee Lambert, Meagan Kiely (Darcy Moloney) Ruck: Rhi Watt Fwd: Katie Brennan, Katie Loynes, Eliza James (Airlie Runnalls) IC: Sarah Hosking, Rosie Dillon
The Mystix selection committee have made 2 changes to their Round 2 team as they head to Northern NSW to take on Bangalow Bats @Esther in what we expect to be a high quality round 3 match Short term signing Sarah Verrier has a point to prove as she faces her old ORRFW side, replacing Chelsea Randall who is nursing a hamstring injury suffered in the narrow loss to Katanning. Elisa O'Dea performed strongly in the AFLW last weekend and is brought into the side to replace the HSP stricken Allie Drennan who faces a week on the sidelines along with a trio of Mystix team-mates Note this team is subject to change, once Sunday AFLW line-ups are announced (ie Ashmore, Gavalas, Zreika, O'Dea, Prespakis, Plane all TBC) with Woosha ready to play anywhere on the field if required. Def = Ivey, Verrier, Keryk (Plane) Mid = Cain, Ashmore, A McDonald, Gavalas (West) Fwd = Hore, E Antonio, Zreika (D'Arcy) Ruck = Seymour (Cutting) IC = O'Dea, Prespakis (Xenos) 2nds - A Burke, Woosha (if named) Injured/HSP - Georgostathis, Pritchard, Yorston, Drennan, Randall postponed game topups - Verrier (ex Bats, D2), D'Arcy (ex Legends, Fwd Emg), Xenos (ex Mystix, IC Emg), West (undrafted, Mid Emg)
With Eleanor Brown and Ellie Blackburn unavailable from the Bulldogs, we would like to select Evangeline Gooch and Megan Fitzsimmon as topups. Def: Shelley Heath, Annie Lee, Evangeline Gooch Mid: Britt Bonnici, Jess Hosking, Tia Haynes, Rachelle Martin, Fwd: Cora Staunton, Rachel Kearns, Orla O'Dwyer Ruck: Aine Tighe IC: Chloe Dalton, Zimmorlei Farquharson (Fitzsimmon) With effectively zero emergencies (I expect Farquharson to be not named again), all fingers are crossed on HSP results for Sunday...
