AFL Round 20 – Thursday 24th July ORFFA Round 15 - The Final/s Countdown Ah, the final countdown has returned for another season. The joy. That earworm ... delightful! "Its the final countdown. De-ne-ne-ne. Duh-duh-duh-det-dah. De-ne...." This week is indeed the final/s countdown. For some it is a countdown to finals with top four spots on the line. For others it is the last chance saloon to make the top eight. For other others, it is an excuse to limber up for the Zac Dawson Cup or start the countdown for a high PSD pick. Whatever your countdown may be, may it be enjoyable, entertaining and not involve too much hair, leather or really bad plays on words like the name of this round.

The Spelunkers are appreciative of the FIXture committee minimising the travel for the team in the final home and away round. The short bus trip to Cradle Mountain will be a welcome relief to the long flight across to New Zealand this week. The Spelunkers are considering lobbying the Association for permission to play all games in Tasmania next season... and the ORFFA commissioner has been rumoured to be in violent agreement... but apparently there is some conflict of interest. Anyway... provisional Spelunkers team to take on @dmandrews and the Devils this weekend.
Speaking of bad hair, I offer Luke Jackson and Gryan Miers as my submissions for bad hair. @anthak has me beat though I reckon. Special mention to Will Ashcroft, who has hair that is both bordering on offensive, but also makes me incredibly jealous! If only I could have carried that when i was his age
A number of Nuffers have pretty boring hair. I think perhaps Chad Warner might lead the way in terms of questionable hair ... Mason Redman and Ollie Hayes Brown not far behind.
Couple of changes this week and a bit of ruck lotto. D - Dale, Clark, Idun, HH M - Rowell, Gulden, Serong, Richards R - Sims for now, pending selection fun F - Warner, Ross, West, Voss I/C - Redman, Kelly If at the start of the season anyone had've nominated those four players as my starting forwardline I might've laughed. But Ross and West have been really encouraging this season, while Voss has earned another game. They'll have to keep it up - don't think Daniels or JHF will be back in time for ORFFA finals.
