With H2H matches this weekend, thought it was worthwhile to get our TSTWits league up & firing for some good old fashioned banter. Doesnt seem to be much banter on twitter but now H2H have started hopefully the #TSTWits hashtag will get work out! Anyway here is very quick thing ive written up, feel free to post your own thoughts on how ur team is travelling Alastair Lynch Mob 4,079 vs Severely Concussed 4,157 This game has bit of a GWS vs Gold Coast feel about it, two cellar dwellers battling it out. Not sure if there will be much attention paid towards this game. Rigil Kentaurus 4,319 vs The Dundees 4,270 Both coaches were contacted for comments but both refused. Appears they have decided to use the Ross Lyon “Bubble” Dirty Whorks 4,062 vs Riewoldt's Tears 4,224 DW won’t be happy with way things have gone so far this year and rumours are he is making wholesale changes this week. I have feeling by end of round Riewoldt’s Tears will in fact be in tears. Doobia Dominators 4,378 vs Jack's Sainters 4,181 Doobs should be way too strong for Jack’s Sainters, who like the real Saints are in a “rebuilding” stage and will only be there abouts this season popping up for occasional win. McGregor Booms 4,334 vs JuddTheStar 4,271 I reckon this is match of the round. Both teams are up and about and not much splits them on total points so far. Team Stowie 4,184 vs Que Ordinario 4,327 Despite numbers favouring Que Orinario, its been Team Stowie that has been very ordinary this season. Club spokesman has said they will make some structure changes this week and are upto challenge. Fannie Bay 42ers 4,406 vs U Were DEMPSTERED 4,213 “The 42ers got a rev up from the coach and hopefully come out fired up. Good to test list early against a champ. Its good old classic POD match up first game, Pendles v Swan” FB42ers Coach @fanniebay said. “We haven’t gotten off to start we were hoping for, a solid week 1 was followed by atrocious week 2. Every single player has been put on notice and another performance like last week will see them finding new home. Having said that we feel 42ers have been over performing and we will teach them a thing or two this weekend” U Were DEMPSTERED coach @stkildathunda said. crabsmashers 4,297 vs Dmans Destructors 4,248 “Feeling quietly confident. Made a couple of good changes and playing someone averaging less than me” said coach of Crabmashers, @hevvieevvie Champagne Footy VI 4,363 vs PippensRogues 4,195 Word around town is Lucas is strutting around like he has the premiership in the bag. Should be good enough to win here, although can smell an upset. The TSTWITS are: stkildathunda - U Were DEMPSTERED - @stkildathunda Dirty Whorks - Dirty Whorks - @DirtyWhorks Lucas - Champagne Footy VI - @lucasgarth Chris88 - Severely Concussed - @chris8875 Doobs - Doobia Dominators - @Doobsia JPK - Que Ordinario - @jpk82 HudsonFysh - Fannie Bay 42ers - @fanniebay FlyUp - crabsmashers - @hevvieevvie bgt2110 - Rigil Kentaurus - @tillob2110 apolis - Riewoldt's Tears - @lockie_campbell d__man85 - Dman's Destructors - @dman__85 stowie - Team Stowie - @TheStowMan Johnson - The Dundees - @Johnson_FBay deasend - @deasend - McGregor Booms Walsey - JuddTheStar - @TooSerious_ raymondp - Pippens Rogues - @PaulJRaymond princeofmugs - Alistair Lynch Mob - @princeofmugs
The Dundees have treated the first 2 rounds of the year in much the same way most teams treat the pre-season - with very little respect (though, this is due more to poor drafting by the head coach than anything else!). But, we are keen to get an early win on the board against a fellow ORFFL coach to hopefully set the tone for the year ahead. RK look strong, even with 'The Broughton Dillemma', but otherwise look good all over the park. We think we might be able to get first use of the ball more often and win the centre clearances which will go a long way to winning this match, though if Pendles gets loose tongiht and thos second rate AFL coaches decide to put Murphy and Pendlebury in a shootout, it could be all over by the 10pm tonight!
Hey boys, I am Pippens Rogues. Twitter @PaulJRaymond -- It is safe to say I have been pounded hard by poor decisions, both on captains and rookies which has held back my squad. The coach is all to blame. however with some sneaky thrifty trades this week, im hoping to catch lucas off his game. Hoping due to long a lunch with the boys today, ill get a jump on him. Although my luck would say this may not be possible. Good luck boys all the best and lets get this league back in the top 100. Oh and what the hell does ORFFL actually stand for?? I know its around here somewhere, however being a full time retard I cant seem to find anything for myself.

Sorry Raymond, was in no mood for mucking around last week. Goodes/Fyfe will hurt this week with weak forward rookies. Will anticipate the next installment of the battle.
Couple close games this week! We had draw between @fanniebay & @PaulJRaymond & 2 point margin between @Jack7Hayes & @tillob2110. @TheStowMan can feel bit annoyed, 2nd highest score but still loses! This week i take on @DirtyWhorks, which should be a cracker!
Wow, are we now 14th overall? Geez - great effort everyone! Happy to notch up a win myself this week after stuffing things up last week and costing myself a good score and a win. Onwards and upwards.
This week in #TSTwits sees 2nd placed @tillob2110 take on 3rd placed @lucasgarth & also 5th placed AlistairLynchMob tackle 6th @TooSerious_ Tough assignment for @lockie_campbell who takes on the all conquering, top of table @stkildathunda Spot in top 8 is on line between @fanniebay & @Doobsia. Whilst winner @DirtyWhorks & @hevvieevvie cld also find themselves in top 8
Should be a good matchup. Think I beat him in one of my other leagues, and it's always these sorts of return matchups that provide ammunition for you to get done the following week. SKT, I guarantee that the chirps you have been making following your (comparatively) decent start this year will return in spades later on.
:lol: no doubt once im down your end of ladder ny tune will change haha But seriously, its odd position im in as last couple years ive had to come home like freight train as gotten off to horrible starts. Will see if this changes my approach or do i keep going with plan of past years and upgrade early cos of my position.....
#TSTwits Ladder 1st @stkildathunda 2nd @tillob2110 3rd @lucasgarth 4th ALM 5th @Dman__85 6th @hevvieevvie 7th @TooSerious_ 8th @Doobsia only percentage seperates 3rd to 8th & they are all 1 game clear of 9th & 1 game behind 2nd (2 games & lots percentage behind 1st) Once again its 1st vs 4th with Alistair Lynch Mob (any1 know who that is?) taking on might of @stkildathunda #DEMPSTERED Jesus hows this for a draw this week! Im only one playing top 8 side!! 1st vs 4th 2nd vs 13th 3rd vs 11th 5th vs 18th 6th vs 17th 7th vs 16th 8th vs 15th 9th vs 12th 10th vs 14th
Sorry champ, I'm the Alistair Lynch mob... I 'm a bit worrid this week, i think you're going to smash me! Lucky me, the only one playing someone above them on the table!
I reckon we'll see some upsets this week. The moment you start thinking people will win they lose. Walesy is the unlucky one I reckon, he's smashing it but still in 7th.
God I just can't seem to get any luck in the Twits league - have lost 3 games by under 25 points or so, and 4 by under 100. Bit like Richmond - playing well against good opposition, just not winning. Hopefully I might turn the corner soon. But this is a great league!
#TSTwits Update: Been told highlight @princeofmugs win over @lucasgarth Big loss as Lucas lost top spot.He does hold 3 point lead in overall #TSTwits @stkildathunda & @Doobsia game clear on top, with 3rd to 7th all seperated by %. 8th to 10th further game back. Very close league #TSTwits Round 13 Match Of Round sees @stkildathunda (1st) take on @Doobsia (2nd). Looks like its 7 donuts vs 6 donuts at this early stage! #TSTwits @princeofmugs (6th) vs @hevvieevvie (7th) is other big clash this week. Not even going to try predict results way this league goes #TSTwits Suppose its rude if i dont mention guys holding up ladder! (from 18th) @jpk82 @Jack7Hayes @PaulJRaymond @Johnson_FBay @chris8875
