In more positive news, Jarrod Harbrow comes in after his off season move from Christmas Island over to the Serengeti with the club excited about the experience and talent he can bring to a young backline. Jasper Pittard couldn't quite get up for the game with some reporters going with the story the club couldn't afford to fly him out for the second of a back to back away trip with the rest of the team going straight from Pakenham to Groote. Management strongly deny the club is facing any financial trouble and assure fans that Jasper is working his way back from injury and are confident he will ready to go in round 4 (a home game.. where he won't need a plane ticket..)
Dear @Tylo and ORFFU Board. April the 1st was last week not this one. Why would you match me up with @Tylo this week of all weeks? As a Crows supporter we are playing the most important match of the year against the filth that is Port Power. Why does that matter I hear you say? Well, @Tylo has the two best forwards in the current game with Taylor Walker and Eddie Betts. How am I supposed to sit in my lounge room fully decked out in Crows gear shouting at the TV hoping they both kick a bag knowing that @Tylo will be kicking my arse? Not to mention that I have had Marc Murphy in and out of my SC team this week atleast 4 times! Why are people so unkind? Anyhow, enough of that nonsense, here is my team. And yes, those people (all other ORFFU coaches) that doubted my Tim Smith pick, well he gets a start this week - lets hope he kicks a bag!
