Round 16 07.08 - 09.08 Mark Seaby Memorial Once again, we have Mark Seaby round in remembrance of pick 429 of our inaugural draft, where Foul Bay attempted to pick Seaby, but realised he had already been selected at pick 430 by Birdsville Birdsville Battlers v Foul Bay Chickens Gariwerd Cockatoos v Marble Bar Misfits Wagga Wagga Wombats v Cradle Mountain Devils Lovely Banks Lilacs v Darraweit Guim Dirigibles Nunawading Nuffas v Larrikin Lagoon Lefties Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles v Powlett Plains Packers Venus Bay Vultures v Whitsunday Warriors Gundagai Grasshoppers v Charlies Opening Spelunkers Mt Beauty Uglies v Iron Knob Codpieces
Probably posting this a touch early, but more to let everyone know that the all-important Household Cup between the Lilacs and the Guim will be played overseas for the first time this coming weekend. The game has been shifted to an island in the Pacific to allow both coaches to stand by the sidelines, umbrella-festooned drinks in hand - and scream unintelligible nonsense to our players. The game will take place on a combination sand/pool field - Lovely Banks will kick with the tide in the first half. Any player that bombs into the pool will be punished by having to have a drink. We expect the game to peter out to some form of schoolyard kick to kick by around halfway through the second quarter. Hopefully the Guim and Lilacs' teams will be able to be posted here. If not, arrangements will be made for them to be in TS Leagues.

Just for fun, and to fill up a gap created by another injured player, I thought I would follow Bandito's lead and name a three ruck on field team. Also a reserve ruck [would have named a fifth - a sort of Mark Seaby, back-up ruck, if H Mac had not rightly retired.] Cows' team for match v. Packers D - H Taylor, Hibberd, Geary M - Hannebery, McVeigh, Dal Santo, Neal-Bullen R - S Jacobs (E - O'Brien) F - T Mitchell, Elliott, M Robinson, J McGovern I - C Sinclair, D Simpson

Haha, so my quip in last week's post about being able to curse players who play OOP in the ruck for me has been eerily in full force this week. Started with Yarran there once team entry was open, hoping for someone who had a small likelihood of copping a vest like the two previous incumbents. And he gets dropped. So I swing vandenBerg over there, similar reasoning, and he pulls out today as a late withdrawl (I suppose I should be thankful that he pulled out today and not on Sunday). So third time lucky, Matty Stokes. You were the vest last time you played in the ruck, may you not get it again (although I think you will).

My lot only limped past 1100 last week on the way to getting beaten by a 13 man outfit. Post-bye scores have been lacklustre across the board, tbh, as a couple of injuries have really shown up the Battlers lack of depth. Most of my losses this year have been close affairs but I'm not expecting this one will be. If I was going to have a wager it would the Chooks by PLENTY.

I just got my team into TSleagues 1 second before the Crows bounce Garland will be our ruck this week with Hale and Minson both being too spuddy to get a game. Sigh. Goldy. Good Luck to all!
