AFL Round 13 – Thursday 5th June ORFFA Round 11 - A Footballing Waste Land In The Waste Land, Mr Eliot wrote of a scene in an old English pub. Amidst conversations about wars and relationship woes, the barkeep is heard to yell - with increasing urgency - "HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME" For us, it is indeed time. Time to delist, time to farewell and time to decide on who will be returned to the free agency list before the ORFFA Mid Season Draft. Unfortunately, for those whose time it is, June - rather than April - may end up being the cruelest month. Mount Beauty Uglies v Cradle Mountain Devils Waikickamoocow Incorrigibles v Gariwerd Cockatoos Charlies Opening Spelunkers v Dunsborough Dung Beetles Lovely Banks Lilacs v Junee Jaguars Wineglass Bay Packers v Iron Knob Codpieces Larrikin Lagoon Lefties v Wagga Wagga Wombats Birdsville Battlers v Nareewillock Nuffers Gundagai Grasshoppers v Venus Bay Vultures
Getting in early this week - remember to put your teams in. Remember also that mid-season trade period starts June 2 - today in fact - and our delist deadline is scheduled for 9pm next Monday, June 9 - after the annual Kings Birthday game between Melbourne and Collingwood.
Final reminder - Freo and StKilda have byes this week. Thanks to this fact meaning four of my players will be resting, as well as my smorgasbord of injured players, I'll not be able to put a full team on the park this week. Sigh.
Here’s my lineup if anyone has the power to change players: Def: Max Holmes, Jake Bowey, Kane Farrell, Lachlan Bramble (Changkuoth Jiath) Mid: Touk Miller, Sam Durham, Willem Drew, Hugo Ralphsmith (Harry Rowston) Ruck: Jordon Sweet (Tobie Travaglia -oop) Fwd: Justin McInerney, Kade Chandler, Sam Wicks, Ben King (Ethan Read) INT: Sam Clohesy, Harvey Langford
Oops forgot about byes. I need to sub Travaglia out of that lineup! Here we go: Def: Max Holmes, Jake Bowey, Kane Farrell, Lachlan Bramble (Changkuoth Jiath) Mid: Touk Miller, Sam Durham, Willem Drew, Hugo Ralphsmith (Harry Rowston) Ruck: Jordon Sweet (Ethan Read -oop) Fwd: Justin McInerney, Kade Chandler, Sam Wicks, Ben King (Koltyn Tholstrup) INT: Sam Clohesy, Harvey Langford
The good news is that I have 15 players. The bad news is that I only have 15 players. Expectations aren't exactly sky high. So: D: Dale, Redman, Idun, Keane. M: Rowell, Richards, Ross, Warner R: Sims F: West, Bedford, Caddy, Daniels (a more random collection of forwards you'd struggle to find) I/C: Quaynor, Brown That's an interesting team - thank goodness Daniels decided to get fit and return this week.
