    Hi All,

    Those of us involved in TS keeper leagues have increasingly dealt with idle teams across early an midseason AFL bye rounds.

    In response we have decided to trial a 10 aside modified ORFF* format competition over the 7 multibye rounds in 2026
    • ORFF* 10's (or Tens) team format is 2D-4M-2F-2IC (no R line) - with 1 emergency per line if teams can field over 10 players, as usual OOP in D/M/F = 50% points only
    • The squad used is the same as the team's ORFFL/ORFFA/ORFFU/ORFFF squad of 28 or 30 players
    • The competition format is a pseudo-Double Elimination Comp held in 4 and 8 team bye rounds
    • TSleagues won’t support the comp so all scores will be manually calculated by participating team coaches and posted in a dedicated ORFF* 10’s competition thread
    • OR team scores (with perfect hindsight post OR) used for Comp Seeding teams ranked 1-8 receive a double chance/easier path and teams ranked 9-16 must win 6 consecutive elimination matches, teams ranked 17 onwards based on OR scores do not qualify for the comp
    • Round 2 onwards match schedule as per diagram and teams to be named by Friday night lockout
    • H2H matches rds2-3 eliminates 8 teams
    • Rd12 is Minor Premiers GF (match 15) and 3 more Elimination Matches (Matches 16-18) in the right hand bracket
    • Minor Premiers rests in Rounds 14&15 and plays the Grand Final in Round 16 against winner of the 4 right hand bracket survivors

    Please sign up below by posting your ORFFL/ORFFA/ORFFU/ORFFF team name and the competition they play in.

    Please note that coaches with multiple team can only enter once for this competition so please make a choice.

    Entries close at 9pm Melbourne time on Thursday 5th March, or whenever we reach 24 entries (noting 16 will qualify for the competition proper).

    The field of 16 is as follows:-
    FL - Wanderers, Magicians, Knightriders, Bullfrogs
    FF - 29ers, Noahs, Boozers, Whales
    FA - Devils, Cockatoos, Grasshoppers, Packers
    FU - Bunyips, Blowflys, Monarchs, Prospectors

    Seeding to be updated as posted (1-8 = Double Elimination Bracket, 9-16 = Single Elimination Bracket)
    1 - 976
    2 - 948
    3 - 941 (1001 posted less Lester 97 and Cameron 94 plus Guthrie 81 and Elliot 50, as Lester and Cameron weren't listed until after OR)
    4 - 924
    5 - 909
    6 - 901 (1*oop)
    7 - 865
    8 - 852
    -------------------------------
    9 - 842
    10 - 797
    11 - 794
    12 - 632 (8)
    13 - 575 (9)

      Thanks TTH.
      It shouldn't be too complicated for me. These are the only players I have available, and some aren't named to play this week:

      Ouch, I know D Jones and Campo are out, which I think reduces 12 to 10, understand that part of this whole exercise is figuring out whether 10 is not enough or too many across a range of teams for OR before topups get discussed so your one week of pain is not without a purpose.

      FWIW a total score posted after tonights OR conclusion but before Saturday of Round 1 is enough to sort the seedings

      upload_2026-3-8_13-40-13.png

      For those wanting to record their individual player scores while competing a format based on round to date 29ers scoring would be
      D - J Noble 116, J Jeffery 88
      M - Bont 113, N Anderson 100, Lipinski X, JDG X
      F - L Schultz X, H Thomas 84
      IC - J Daicos X, O Hollands 73
      Total = (if 4 remaining scores are all 65) = 834

      Unused Scores (5) N Blakey 61, E Hollands 61, M Hall X, J Jordon 52, J Carroll X

      I am expecting scores in the 700 - 950 range with top 8 seeding around 850-875 plus mostly for teams with 13 or more available players, it will be interesting to see how the numbers fall at round's end.

      Unused (5) - Nick Blakey, Elijah Hollands, Patrick Lipinski, Jack Carroll and James Jordon

      Cradle Mountain Devils 909

      Def: Dayne Zorko 131, Josh Battle 82 213/2
      Mid: Scott Pendlebury 112, Jordan De Goey 90, James Jordan 52, Darcy Wilson 49 303/4
      Fwd: Lachlan Schultz 108, Toby Greene 89 197/2
      Int: Tim English 117, Aaron Naughton 79 196/2

      Not used Shaun Mannagh, Rowan Marshall

      Four Devils reached the ton included the only two inaugural Devils remaining on the list in the club’s 15th season, defender Dayne Zorko with a team-high 131 points and midfielder Scott Pendlebury with 112, making a significant impact despite playing only 55% time on ground. Pendlebury was selected with the number one pick by Cradle Mountain in the inaugural ORFFA Draft in 2012 and is without question CMD’s best player of all-time. In the same draft the Devils struck gold late by using pick 325 in the 19th round to select Zorko who at the time was a 23 year old forward/midfielder who was yet to play an AFL game.

      At the other end of the scale one of the players that reached triple figures for the Devils in opening round, forward Lachlan Schultz with 108 is yet to make his club debut for CMD in the ORFFA. Cradle Mountain selected Schultz with pick 42 in the 2026 ORFFA pre-season draft. Schultz had been delisted by the Wagga Wagga Wombats in the 2026 pre-season with every ORFFA club required to cut their list to 22 players at the start of the PSD.

      Ruckman Tim English scored 117 in opening round to be the second ranked Devil. English was selected by CMD with pick 8 in the 2017 ORFFA PSD. English has the distinction of being the only Cradle Mountain player to win the Les W Medal for being the ORFFA league best and fairest. English achieving this feat with 52 votes in 2023 to finish 11 votes ahead of the runner-up Foul Bay Chickens midfielder Tom Liberatore.

      I am happy with Cradle Mountain’s score of 909 in opening round and pleased to have four tons and four other 75+ scores. M3 and M4 combining for 101 points is a concern and is likely to be a weakness in Round 2 with OR M1 Pendlebury and M2 DeGoey having the bye. Jack Steele and Jacob Hopper are likely to fill the M1 & M2 positions in Round 2 however the battle to fill the Devils M3 and M4 positions for that round is wide open.
