It is that time of the year again where we look forward to another huge round of ORFFF football in Round 9 and @leematty1 can brush off their best trading threads ahead of the 24-day long midseason trading period opening on Tuesday night 26 May. This week's fixture with teams currently in the top 8 in bold:- Drouin Dropbears (6-2, 2nd) vs Port Lincoln Power (UOC, 6-2, 4th) Neptune Island Noahs (6-2, 3rd) vs Mt Thirsty Boozers (5-3, 8th) Sherwood Magpies (6-2, 5th) vs Macquarie Island Whales (5-3, 6th) Black Swamp 29ers (6-2, 1st) vs Nangkita Bucks (3-5, 12th) Rutherglen Fugitives (3-5, 10th) vs Useless Loop Virgins (5-3, 9th) The Stony Ponys (2-6, 13th) vs Walpole Woylies (5-3, 7th) Wedge Island White Pointers (3-5, 11th) vs Heard Island Shags (1-7, 15th) Maralinga Atoms (2-6, 14th) vs Jan Juc Ducks (0-8, 16th) Once again we start the round on a Thursday night before a full lockout for the Saturday 1:15pm game so please lock your players in early and tweak again on Friday or Saturday as needed. After that we have AFL round 12 off before playing ORFFF Round 10 in AFL Round 13, with Tigers and Giants players having the week off. Best of luck to all teams.
