No ruckman - though he can be replaced - but my best forward is named sub for some utterly bizarre reason and because it's Thursday and I am doing things, no ability to make a change. I hate Wednesday football and I hate Thursday football.
Lefties pumped after back to back 1100’s. Who cares if they were still losses. Definitely honourable. Onward and upward. Def - Wilmot, Perryman, Burgoyne, Bowes (Hardwick) Mid - Anderson, Acres, Bonner, Jordon (Wehr) Ruck - Xerri Fwd - Mackenzie, Georgiades, SPP, Hill (Rioli) IC - Simpkin, MacDonald (Lazarro)
Spelunkers team to take on my Tassie mate and rival the Devils @dmandrews Whilst doing a bit of reading on Tasmania's fallen, lest we forget, I came across this amazing story about Victoria Cross recipient, corporal Walter Brown -------------------- Walter Brown, born in New Norfolk, was a grocer in Sydney before enlisting in 1915. Official records state that Brown, a Corporal at Villers-Bretonneux, was leading a party of soldiers who had taken over some newly-captured trenches in July 1918. "When told that an enemy sniper was causing trouble, Brown discarded his rifle and picked up two Mills bombs. "Running towards the post, he threw one bomb, which fell short, but on reaching the position he attacked a German with his fists and threatened the others with his remaining grenade. They all promptly surrendered." Official records list that despite Brown being "married and over-age", he successfully enlisted to fight in World War II. "He went missing after the fall of Singapore in February 1942; he was last sighted declaring, 'No surrender for me'," his entry on the Australian War Memorial website states. ------------------
Wow, some really tight, close games. As for the cows, we are not that bad but the old chels v graeme puerile battles at the selection table are not helping . Fantastic to see the site rolling over so quickly. Not sure who to thank, but thank you.
Suggest we have to differentiate between when ORFFA had 18 teams and now with 16 teams. Scores post 2023 will tend to be higher than pre 2024 as each team now has the potential to hold more "premium" scoring players as the pool is deeper. We are not comparing apples with apples. Summary: once again you can get stuffed @Bandit
