ORFFA Round 8/AFL Round 8 Friday 5th May THEME – Muso Round Home teams – nominate an Aussie or NZ muso or musos to perform pre-match entertainment duties before your game. Away teams – shut up and listen and just be happy you are getting a free concert. Charlies Opening Spelunkers v Venus Bay Vultures Wagga Wagga Wombats v Nareewillock Nuffers Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles v Mt Beauty Uglies Whitsunday Warriors v Marble Bar Misfits Wineglass Bay Packers v Lovely Banks Lilacs Birdsville Battlers v Larrikin Lagoon Lefties Cradle Mountain Devils v Iron Knob Codpieces Dunsborough Dung Beetles v Gundagai Grasshoppers Foul Bay Chickens v Gariwerd Cockatoos
Spelunkers going modern this round with EDM trio Pnau doing pre-match Disco bikkies will be handed out in the dunnies, and the lasers and smoke machines will be in full swing, in an attempt to get @Fitzy 's vultures lulled into a state of trance
The cows will pay homage to- and I am sure @bama , all the uglies, and @HeavyMen will appreciate and enjoy - the music, life and times of Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou, the composer and piano-playing nun who died this week at the age of 99. Okay, not an Australasian muso, but hey such an influence on our music. Pre- and post- game in the Bullshit Tavern and at the game talented pianists will play some of Yewubdar's - Amharic for "the most beautiful one"- a name she used until she was ordained as a nun at the age of 21 - most famous compositions. I am sure you are all familiar with "The Homeless Wanderer", "Mother's Love" and "Homesickness" and will hum along with the music. Corned beef sammies to honour TiB will be available at the Tav.
Let's start with a good Fijian invitation. Then follow it up with one by Kyren Samelko a young, up and coming Dunsborough / Margaret River muso! And round it off with a Willy K Islanders interpretation to hopefully mark our first win!
Nuffers mob to take on the Marsupials. I do have some emergencies locked in the system but I have forgotten them. DEF: Redman, Richards, Murphy, Clark MID: Warner, Rowell, Serong, Ross RUCK: Ryan (a late replacement for late out Soldo) FWD: Gulden, JHF, Daniels, Cameron I/C: Miller, Cumberland - both of whom are very lucky and may still be replaced by Todd Marshall if I feel so inclined.

The cows and uglies have clearly been inspired by the life and music of Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou (see above). As we head into Sunday the visitors have the runs on the board (12/1052, Butters, Zuhaar and Maynard to come). The home side is 752/8 with Campbell, Burton, Titchell, Brouch, Finlayson, Owens and Papley yet to play. May or may not be close finish.
