The 29ers chances of snatching the unofficial ORFFF Championship and avoid a club record 7th consecutive loss appear to be minimal as they have tallied 12/891 with Lachie Fogarty, Schoenberg and half a Chayce Jones to come and a 1050 plus score is now the revised target.
The Virgin's finish on 1,202/15 80.1 to the White Pointers @Bearfly on 1,276/15 85.1 who takes the chocolates in a close one, closer than most would have thought.
Round 9 saw some pivotal results with Walpole’s defeat of Mt Thirsty leaving the twice reigning premiers in 5th, ready to time their run amongst a 5 way race for the top 4 positions. The Boozers loss combined with the Noahs 6th straight win against the Bucks and the Whales shellacking of the Dropbears suggests a tight battle will continue for the spots in the lower half of the 8, starting with the Boozers vs Whales in Round 10. At the bottom end of the table the 29ers suffered a club record 7th consecutive loss and along with others just above are now beginning to scrutinise the ORFFF Free Agents list ahead of the midseason draft while plotting to upset the competition’s high flyers to help shape the 2021 premiership race.
