Round 14 ORFFF Matchups are as follows - teams currently in the 8 in bold (the last times most of these teams met were in Round 14, 2016 http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orfff-2016-round-14.89582/ http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=14&round=17&year=2016 http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagueMatchday.php?leagueId=14&round=17&year=2016 Rutherglen Fugitives (8-5) vs Mt Thirsty Boozers (11-2) - The 3rd placed Fugitives have been on the slide since a 7-1 start and will have their depth tested with the loss of Pendles as they face a high flying Boozers side looking to build a mental edge over opponents heading into the finals Useless Loop Virgins (7-5-1) vs Drouin Dropbears (8-5) - The Dropbears defeated the Virgins in the 2016 Preliminary Final and may need another supreme effort if they are to make it 3-0 head to head and also sure up their chances of making it to the pointy end in 2017. http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orfff-preliminary-final-week.89629/ http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagues.php?leagueId=14&round=21&year=2016 http://tooserious.net/forum/tsLeagueMatchday.php?leagueId=14&round=21&year=2016 Jan Juc Ducks (8-5) vs Maralinga Atoms (7-6) - AFL team selections have impacted on both teams. Maralinga have more points scored than the injury ravaged Jan Juc so will jump ahead of their opponents if they can get the W this week Wedge Island White Pointers (5-8) vs Walpole Woylies (9-3-1) - The Woylies continue to defy their pre-season expectations and are overwhelming favourites to lock in a top 4 spot with their 10th victory Neptune Island Noahs (8-5) vs Nangkita Bucks (4-9) - The Noahs could find themselves out of the 8 if the Bucks can break their drought. Heard Island Shags (7-6) vs Cockburn Avengers (5-8) - The form guide says the Shags but the Avengers have super-powers. Macquarie Island Whales (8-5) vs Mole Creek Glow-Worms (1-12) - The Southern Derby is a must win game for the Whales. Port Lincoln Power (4-9) vs Black Swamp 29ers (3-10) - Both teams are playing for pride. The 29ers main hope given their diabolical recent form is that the Power are also playing for 2018 pre-season draft picks.
The Fugitives are doing their best to miss another finals series, with poor form and injuries starting to take hold. Need to jag a win this week or next to secure a maiden finals berth. The 7 game winning streak seems an age ago! Hoping that Cockburn & Jan Juc get the points this week to sure up a finals spot!

At risk of losing a finals gig, the Noahs have sent a proverbial rocket up Mr Sloane and moved him to the interchange.

Mole Creek Team With last place all but sewn up, the Glow Worms will look to get quality time into its squad of youngsters and will likely see some careers coming to an end if performances aren't showing enough.
