Round 11 ~ (AFL Rd 14) ~ Winter Solstice

...........winter? winter?......not 'ere he says: DEF: Suckling/Mullett/Talia/Webster (frost) MID: Rocky/Hayes/Neale/Adams RCK: Sandi FWD: Lyons/Taylor/Dwyer/JMartin oop (stringer) I/C: Witts / Curnow

 

Is that a full team I spy sNoZ? That is good news - well done.

 

Coming home like a train my Kiwi friend (.....and just quietly, the #1 AFL & #1 ORFFA draft pick is finally back playing to add to his 10 minutes he's given me so far)

 

Lefties In - Robertson, Conca Out - Selwood Def - Lumumba, Duryea, Baguley, Thompson (Schoenmakers) Mid - Priddis, Cunnington, Lewis, Conca (Suban) Ruck - Smith Fwd - Hale, Monfries, Grant, Daniher (Broomhead) I/C - Mzungu, Robertson (J Lloyd) This will be my last team thread post for a while as going on hols for 5 wks. YAD69 will manage the Lefties through ts Leagues while im away.

 

The Waikicks look like they are in for another tough weekend - this time with the visit of Fitzy's Vultures to pick over the injury ravaged carcass. D - McVeigh, Hibberd, Duffield, Pedersen M - Fyfe, Dal Santo, Isaac Smith, Ziebell R - S Jacobs F - J Elliott, M Robinson, M Wright, Podsiadly I/E - H McIntosh, Crameri (E: N Graham)

 

Nice looking team TiB. For me your game with the yank based pie is the game of the round. Good luck to you both. BTW, Con Firm is he a Port player I was unaware of? Or one of a dodgy group who stand behind you, hoping to get your PIN when you are using an EFTPOS machine?

 

Round 11 Cradle Mountain team
In: James Gwilt, Dustin Fletcher, Steve Johnson
Out: Luke Brown (Omitted), Played two men short last week
[span style='color: #333333;]DEF Dustin Fletcher, James Gwilt, Nick Vlastuin, Lee Spurr (Luke Brown)

Foul Bay
Ins:Judd, R.Shaw, Yarran Outsahlhaus (rested), Ibbotson (omitted), Vince (omitted) Def: R.Shaw, Bartel, Jaensch, H.Shaw (Emg: Ibbotson) Mid: Liberatore, J.Selwood, Stokes, Kelly (Emg: Vince) Ruck: Mumford Fwd: Hawkins, Pavlich, Dangerfield, Yarran (Emg: Dahlhaus) I/C: Ja. Roughead, Judd (Emg: McLean) Danger game for the Chooks this weekend in a grand final rematch against a team that has had our measure before. Dahlhaus stiff to miss, but the Match Committee wanted to have a good look at Chris Yarran who has found some consistency in the twos. We need to know if he is going to stand up in big games. Both Judd and R.Shaw have done enough at the lower grade to come in for the out of form Vince and Ibbotson. Ryan Harwood is knocking on the door and Luke Dahlhaus is given a chance to freshen up for matchup purposes. Anticipating that a score of at least 1400 is going to be needed to get up over the Blimps this week. Hope the team has another one in them and haven't peaked too soon.

 

Some tough decisions there chief. [span style='background: #ffffff;]The sort of decisions we would all like to have to make. Get then right 1600, get them wrong 1500.

 

Wagga Wagga Def: Dunn, Malceski, R.Murphy, S.D.Thompson (Pittard) Mid: Sheppard, D.Swallow, Prestia, D.Shiel (Sheed) Ruc: Lycett Fwd: Schulz, Franklin, Higgins, Jenkins (L.Thomas) Int: B.Reilly, Bastinac (Dempsey)

 

Worst possible start....Rhyce Shaw repaying the faith. Players going to have to earn their pay to come back from here.

The good news is that you've got plenty of time - and plenty of good players to come. Still reckon you'll make up the ground. Couple of guys in my team simply don't score enough usually (Andy Otten for example). Let's see what happens. Reckon Westhoff might have covered the predicted Otten drop off in scoring. And I liked your move of bringing Kane Cornes on to take Libba out of the game after quarter time. Think it was a match defining move.

And as we speak, Stokes the second person to be subbed off in the second quarter to an ankle injury. Would have needed to be really good to cover one (especially with the Hoff scoring 150+). Impossible to cover two injuries with a combined total of 25 points. In all sincerity though, you deserved to knock off one of the top two at least over the last two weeks. You were stiff last week, so you were due this week. For my sake I wish it was the other way around, but congrats - got me again
