    Round 13 – AFL Round 16
    Struggling to come up with a theme round


    Ever have one of those weeks where creative thought is at an absolute premium? Where things like stringing words together in sentences are classed as a bonus? Well, that's this week.

    This week was going to be marked by having absolutely no theme to go alongside our wonderful slate of games, but we've instead decided to be 100% honest and say we are simply struggling to come up with a theme this week and ... well ... that's it really.

    Sort of a bit of a let-down I guess. Sorry.

    The deadline monster has consumed my writing and time this week. Normal transmission and themes will resume in time for next round.

    If ever there was a good time for a form turn around this would be it, but I feel it far more likely the Battlers won't have much battle to do..

    DEFENDERS
    Jake Lloyd, Lachie Whitfield, Tom McCartin, Nick Haynes - Massimo D'Ambrosio
    MIDFIELDERS
    Josh Kelly, Callan Ward, David Mundy, Matthew Cottrell - Brady Hough
    RUCKS
    Matthew Flynn -
    FORWARDS
    Adam Treloar, Tim Taranto, Harrison Himmelberg, Lincoln McCarthy - Will Hayward
    INTERCHANGE
    Nic Naitanui, Jake Stringer - Xavier O'Halloran

    Len never struggles for words (or expletives).

    Round 13 – AFL Round 16
    Form Turn Around Round


    Treloar got the message and got a ton before grasping his hammy.
    Meanwhile, we are on the long flight to Geographe Bay. Some wine would be nice if the beetles can dig a few Xanadus up.

    Not a happy coach, without Stweart for 4 weeks and we have how many weeks left until finals, 5 weeks?

    I get him back last week before finals, so thats a positive, right

    Nah, I don't think this will be close. Looks like my lot were pretty shit this week, even by our lowly standards. I think the Battlers will post a season low score this week.

    Another near 1200 score, another close loss. Sigh.

    12 passable players out of 15 most weeks. Two extra half decent footballers and the Nuffers might’ve won 6 or 7 games this season.

    The cull at year's end is going to be discerning but most definitely wide ranging.

    One very personal theme for the round would be "Salute to Oncologists" - the three members of the Association (that I know of) who have personal reasons to thank Oncologists (and Nurses) all won this week. Apologies if I missed anyone - if so please let me know.

    I understand those three are all currently reading books about birds. So perhaps Salute to Ornithologists?
