I believe there is a mid-season or supplementary draft following Round 5. Could we have a date/time for this please and a date for delistments? Thank you.

I wouldn't mind a little reminder of the rules here either, can't quite find if it changed for this season. How many we can delist/pick up, order etc
I can only speak for the draft order, it was intended than instead of a snake order as in past years that we would use the standard reverse ladder order in a live draft (as per the 2022 A midseason draft). Delistments have always be optional up to a maximum of 2 but with squads growing by 1 in seasons 1 and 2 the number of selections was a maximum of 3, except where teams are adding players to the inactive list. It would be helpful for Commish and/or board to confirm how many delistments for this and future midseason drafts.
Galahs are fielding (for now, and watch out defenders, you're all halfway to the chopping block) Def: Sarah Verrier, Angela Foley, Eleanor Brown (Shelley Heath) Mid: Ellie Blackburn, Orla O'Dwyer, Georgia Patrikios, Ally Dallaway (Rachelle Martin) Ruck: Sarah Lakay (Jacqueline Dupuy) Fwd: Aine Tighe, Vikki Wall, Zimmorlei Farquharson (Erika O'Shea) IC: Zarlie Goldsworthy, Montana Ham (Megan Kauffman)

With only 3 matches left in this round it's carnage for the Krushers with Brennan and S Hosking late withdrawals. With the Mystix scoring heavily, across all players so far, the Krushers will look to their emergencies to fill the gap, but are a long way back.... Krushers 11/638 ave 54 and the Mystix now heavy favourites 8/558 ave 69.7
Looking well in hand for the Devils with 9 for 601 while Galahs are 10 for 554. Dallaway, Goldsworthy and Foley to play tomorrow, against Garnett, Allan, Jones and Howarth. Cynthia Hamilton 82... not even on the bench.

Krushers @FreoDockers 11/638 lead the Mystix 9/623, with Bella and SLT to play on Sunday, and Surman, Drennan, Yorston and Randall yet to take the field for the visitors.
I think we have 705, and the Devils 793. In the words of a GWS fan today... stop, stop, they're already dead
In a weekend of blowout matches ORFFW Round 5 winners were LSC, Scone, Manildra, Vivonne Bay, Wongan Hills and Timboon by 88, 130, 170, 174, 210 and 233 points respectively. Five teams are now tied at 3-2 for 3rd-7th position ahead of a pivotal final 3 weeks of the regular season. Delistings are due shortly for teams looking to bolster their side via the midseason draft, http://tooserious.net/forum/threads/orffw-2022b-mid-season-draft.91281/
Lots of very high scores this round. I thought my team was doing ok with 717, but there were 8 teams in our league which scored higher than that!
