ORFFA Round 12/AFL Round 16 Thursday 29th June THEME – Shiny New Toy Round Ooh, look at the shiny new toy I’ve drafted. He’s much better than the dull, chipped and broken toy I just threw away in the ORFFA delistment period during a fit of anger and as a nod to unmitigated disposable consumerism. Wait, what did that dull, chipped and broken toy just score this week? Wait, what did my shiny new toy score? Wait ….

Let’s celebrate the great Indigenous people who have graced football fields around the country and have helped make this great game even greater.

So this week let’s celebrate our favourite authors and pieces of high-concept literature. Or, alternatively, let’s just shell out $37 for the AFL Football Record.

Pick your poison, people (not literally, that would be a really stupid injury) and firewalk with me (again, quite stupid). Take a golf cart (yes, stupid too), jump off a fence (again, stupid), fall out of a tree (hmmm) or jump on a trampoline (OK, that’s enough). Whatever you do, just don’t fall off the back of a ute.

You know, all the stuff they haven’t been doing all year.

We at the ORFFA are celebrating a week early, due to the supposed need to schedule finals next week.

My leagues looked like they were going into lockout at 1230pm Melb time (in 10 mins) Now one league (the FL) is fully locked and and the other (FF) has most teams/players locked out but my GWS, NM and STK players are not locked out but are likely to do so in 10 mins. The issue will be sorted by @walesy at some point tonight. In all leagues coaches would be well advised to name their tigers and lions players in the round/year threads before tonight's lockout and then to jump on again after the fix hits to name their full side in TSleagues and ask for assistance if there are further issues.
