    As expected, The Big O has announced his retirement, going out a winner.

    I'd like the ORFFU coaches to discuss reducing team lists from 28 to either 24 or 26.....

    You don't have to be Einstein to see we have 15 playing and 13 on the bench.........I really don't think we need 13 on the bench not getting a game........2 Def, 3 Mid, 1 Ruc, 3 Fwds is more than enough on the bench (or 2 Rucs, 2Fwds)...especially with the number of dual position players avail.

    Isn't the bye the issue with this. 4 or so players missing from most squads each week.

    I think we only played Rd13 when 2 AFL teams had the bye.....we didn't play Rds 14 15 16 .....
    and with 4 missing each week still leaves 9 on the bench...

    We went from 26 - 28 for a reason, I believe that still holds weight.

    We play most of the rounds where 2 teams have the bye. It's tough to reduce the squad sizes until we know the fixture for 2026. If the AFL gave us 20 rounds with all 18 teams playing, that would help.

    The 2026 fixture release is meant to be on or around the 14th November.
