R16 - Korumburra Blowflys (6th) vs King Island Monarchs (11th) So now we are all forced to face the grim dystopian reality that we are living in a world where a bloke can't grab a coffee without fear of big brother telling him he can't play football for 2 weeks! Superstar Josh Dunkley finally returns from his shoulder surgery and rehab, gets 1 game in before he partakes in the despicable act of unknowingly entering a cafe in a similar time frame to another human who may or may not have had cold / flu like symptoms. Imagine if I typed out this scenario 18 months ago! You wouldn't even laugh - you'd just think WTF!? and that I was a deranged moron for making up something so ridiculous! Anyhoo... On a brighter note, this week we welcome the Monarchs to the Terrordome as Boak plays his 300th in a pivotal game for the Flys 2021 finals aspirations! @Tylo In - M. Taberner Out - J. Dunkley (coffee) D - C. Daniel, D. Howard, B. McKay, T. Bianco (EMG L. McDonald*) M - J. Steele, T. Boak, R. Sloane, T. Kelly (EMG A. Perkins) R - T. Goldstein (EMG. T. Campbell) F - N. Hind, L.

Coolgardie R20 team looking to scrape into the 8 (or maybe not, as alluded to earlier) for the "must win" matchup against the ThaiBoys from Banchang @choppers DEF: J Short, H Clark, A Aliir, L Duggan - D Astbury MID: T Miller, O Wines, J O'Meara, J McInerney - J Aish RUC: O McInerney FWD: W Hoskin-Elliott, N Larkey, J Waterman T Fullarton - M Owies INT: C Serong, B Parfitt - T Dumont In team selection news: Hunter Clark makes his return to the side, while Astbury picks up the red vest in defence, and Bruhn misses out altogether. Will Hoskin-Elliott also makes his return to the forward line, squeezing out the unlucky Weightman, while Owies keeps the red vest. Orazio on the extended bench is too much of a risk, so gets another crack in the magoos. Sometimes its nice to have team selection issues, and I'd love to be able to play the loophole, but it would just be much nicer having 15 player who average 100ppg each, and starting them each week! We'll also be secretly, but never publicly admitting to it, cheering on the boys down the road at Southern Cross, to do the righty by us and give the Queensland plains P'Dogs a very flat feeling by completely towelling them up!
