AFL Round 18 – Thursday 10th July ORFFA Round 13 - Non-mid season cup competition round It appears that some other league has had a thought bubble that involves running a cup-style competition in mid season in order to maintain interest during the cold dark winter months. Of course a fair counter suggestion would be for that certain other league to perhaps trust in its product a bit more, or perhaps ensure people could watch games on Saturdays on FTA TV. But what would we know, we're just a fantasy footy league doing our best to get along in the world. We don't need silly gimmicks to maintain interest here, do we?

Great week of scoring till JHF somehow broke his foot. In retrospect I'm happy I didn't go all in during the MSD and trade for more older players. I was tempted but ended up just picking up a couple of slightly more senior dudes to bolster things. But I've had no luck this year with injuries and something told me to hang back from going all in. My forwards have been a smoking ruin - JHF gone, two other key guys from last year barely played 5 games between them, and my best mid has only played 3 games. I can cover for ruck misadventures, for backline absences, even for Gulden missing virtually the whole season - but I've got no more quality forwards left with JHF, Daniels and Langford all done, Higgins struggling and then Warner and a batch of kids after that. Not going to happen this year. Maybe in 2026.
reading this, one would think you might be coming off a loss.... but youve just scored the third highest score for the round for a big win and sit in 4th spot on the ladder.
