    Rutherglen smashed Neptune Island and Nuytsland eased past Jan Juc to set up a clash of the current ORFFF and ORFFU ladder leaders in the Grand Final.

    Home/Away/Team Records and Points Scored in 2017

    Match 63 - aka the Big Dance
    Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF (6-1, 9567) @tyze1 vs Nuytsland Vikings ORFFU (5-2, 9390)
    - FF sides hold a 5-4 Head To Head record against the FU, which the Vikings can square at 5-5 and take the H2H on countback if they are good enough to take out the title
    - Rutherglen finished a very, very, very unlucky 9th in their debut ORFFF season in 2016 folowing a staggering amount of losses by under 50, they recruited strongly trading youth and draft picks for established SC guns and after a Round 1 disaster scoring 1180 points the Fugs have notched 6 league wins on the trot at an average of 1406 pts while winning 5 knockout games on the side
    - Unrecognisable from the rabble who won 6 games combined in 2014 and 2015 Nuytsland are poised to become a powerhouse of the ORFFU in 2017 and @bryzza has a side capable of bringing the Fugitives to justice and showing all fantasy coaches that their rebuild dreams can come true
    - its #1 vs #3 on point scored in 2017 standings across the 70 ORFF* teams, so sit back and be prepared to be entertained by a titanic Grand Final clash
    - good luck to both the coaches, their players and of course the fans and sponsors of the 2 participating clubs

    How they got here - Rutherglen
    Rd 3 - Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF 1376 def Warburton Wanderers ORFFL 1244 (132 points)
    Rd 4 - Venus Bay Vultures ORFFA 1352 def by Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF 1472 (120 points)
    Rd 5 - Foul Bay Chickens ORFFA 1314 def by Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF 1350 (36 points)
    Rd 6 - Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF 1315 def Staghorn Flat Bulls ORFFU 1019 (296 points)
    Rd 7 - Rutherglen Fugitives ORFFF 1426 def Neptune Island Noahs ORFFF 1119 (307 points)

    FU, FL and FA twice (including the comps 2 juggenaughts) then DESTROYING the defending ORFFF champions further forging an intense but developing rivalry that awaits chapters 3 and perhaps 4 later in 2017.

    3 wins at home and 2 away, it hasn't mattered to the Fugitives @tyze 1 as they have won 4 matches comfortably and also performed under pressure to knockout the Chooks in Round 5.

    Lead by Pendlebury, Martin, Cunnington, Cotchin and Macrae the Fugitives have stars backing them up all over the park (Harbrow, Hodge Shiel Salem Gunston Watts) and the pedigree and self belief to knockover the Vikings to earn the clubs first silverware. Selection will be crucial with a number of players knocking on the door. Rioli, Wells, Johnson and Parish all missed the Semi Final win and will be keen to make the team sheet for the Grand Final.

    How they got here - Vikings
    Rd 3 - bye
    Rd 4 - Nuytsland Vikings ORFFU 1317 def Ivanhoe Knightriders ORFFL 1252 (65 points)
    Rd 5 - Nuytsland Vikings ORFFU 1381 def Glenrowan Gunslingers ORFFL 1241 (140 points)
    Rd 6 - Nuytsland Vikings ORFFU 1407 def Whitsunday Warriors ORFFA 1213 (194 points) - described as the game in which the side came of age in the ORFFU and knockout comps
    Rd 7 - Jan Juc Ducks ORFFF 1141 def by Nuytsland Vikings ORFFU 1205 (64 points)

    FL, FL, FA, FF, @bryzza's side have collected the full set en-route to the Grand Final and have shown their ability to play strong defence in knocking off Jan Juc on the road in the semi final. Shades of 2013 and 2015 have been reflected with dozens of Vikings fans heading over east by Nordic sea kayak in order to see their club play off for the title. Scalpers beware, the Vikings fans are known to show much savagery to those from the East (as well as fierce ORFFU rivals Southern Cross @eagle_eyed and Coolgardie @JPK) and they will be hoping that fan favourites Shuey, TMitchell, Montagna, and Roberton can do the same when the opening siren sounds.

    The bookies have the Vikings as underdogs due to the likes of Green, Birchall and Rampe missing from their strongest possible lineup, but if they are able to get top shelf contributions from the veterans then young turks Heeney, Crouch, Ross, Viney & Petracca are all capable of making a name for themselves by playing the biggest games of their fantasy football lives on the biggest stage of all.

    -------------------

    Match 64 - 3rd Place Playoff and 2018 Champions League Qualifier
    Neptune Island Noahs ORFFF (6-0, 7893) @That KI Guy vs Jan Uc Ducks ORFFF (6-0, 7893) @thokash
    - the initial season of the ORFFF saw these two sides pairing off in Round 12 as Neptune Island managed a 1331 to 1289 win on the Ducks home patch with GAJ taking home maximum ORFFF "Dangerfield" Medal votes.
    - they meet again in the league in Round 8 and this math will double up as the playoff for 3rd in the ORFF* knockout comp
    - as outlined below in the comments this match will also qualify the victor for the 2018 ORFFF Champions League which will be an interleague competition for 2017's elite ORFF* sides.
    - good luck gentlemen

    That’s it from me, thanks very much for entering, enjoy the comp (where else will you se Ducks and Crocs locked in mortal combat), banter away if you please and may the best and/or luckiest team prevail, cheers TTH

      A phenomenal performance from Tom Rockliff with 176 points proved to be the difference in the Disappointments 49 point over the Devils 1,318 to 1,269, with no-one else scoring above 130.

      Thanks for co-ordinating the TS ORFF* Knockout Comp @TheTassieHawk

      Given that in the first five ORFFA seasons from 2012 to 2016 the Cradle Mountain Devils were the masters of mediocrity with a home and away record of 42 wins and 42 losses it is fitting that in the first TS ORFF* Knockout Comp CMD had one win and one loss.

      "52 Drouin Dropbears ORFFF (2-2, 5354) vs Waikikamoocow Incorrigibles ORFFA (3-1, 4595) - Drouin are overwhelming favourites as the ORFFF and ORFFA again battle it out."

      Are the Cows nervous of playing the Dropkicks who are the overwhelming favourites in a one off game against us? No, in fact far from it. Does losing Sam Menegola, our leading scorer in the last round, to the whims of the MRP change our view? Not at all. Bring it on.

      Does playing against a team from a league with 16 teams and thus more concentrated talent than the ORFFA 18 league team phase us. Not at all. Does our opponent having a 30 man squad compared to our 28 man squad intimidate us. Not at all. Why? There are 15 guys afield in each team. We knew the deal when we entered. Bring it on.

      Looks like an all-ORFFL affair for the Pointers this week, and a chance for redemption after losing to the Magicians last week.

      Hope that Betts can chill out this week!

      By my count I have Foul Bay @ChiefRussell as 13/1199 with Vince and Spencer to play on Monday night

      As posted by @tyze1 over on the ORFFF Round page we have Rutherglen 10/944 with Cotchin/Salem/Watts in the Monday game and Pendles and Parish playing Anzac day as the Fugitives aim to take the 4 points in this highscoring contest.

      @graeme I am connecting the dots but as the Savages are accustomed to attaining silverware or at the very least going the ORFFL home and away season undefeated they may be most deservedly be described as mighty and considering the scoreline against the Bulls they quite unluckily had narrowly fallen prior to the above post by the Savages coach and spiritual leader

      Thank you for connecting the dots TTH; much appreciated. If you are correct (and I think you are) then surely @3n4nsy should have noted "How the once mighty have fallen"?

      In the ORFFU derby from the scores posted in the ORFFU thread it appears that the Staghorn Flat Bulls @tyze1 are 13/1151 with Salem/Fasolo to play leading the Bunyips 10/801 @martyg with Lambert playing on Monday night and then Pendles/James Kelly/M Brown and Stanton to play on Anzac Day

      Meanwhile from the same thread the Barrucada's @YAD69 appear to be on 13/1012 with Trent Cotchin and Tom Phillips to play, while I have the Ducks @thokash calculated as being 10/824 with Vince, Houli, McDonald and N Jones playing tonight and Grundy to play in the final game of the round

      The last FU team in action is the Vikings @bryzza who appear to be on 12/1157 (11/1066 per the thread and with Dean Kent not making the 25 for Melbourne he is therefore replaced by Toby McLean's 91) with Viney and Petracca to play tonight and Grundy to play tomorrow. Their opponents are the Gunslingers @Doobs who I have as 14/1202 and desperately needing a hefty score from Fasolo against the Bombers if they are to stay alive in the knockout comp.

      In the Jayden Hunt face off, Hoppers with a nose in front on 1021/12 (85) with Grundy, Adams and Hunt vs Noahs 924/11 (84) with Prestia, Tyson, Howe and Hunt.

      Noahs mids need to blue moon tonight to stay in the hunt.
