Ahhh, the beauty of it - the line-up for team man, aka team beast, in the ORFFU representative side contest thingy. After starting behind closed doors, lets bring this out in the open, in preparation for R23 2016, when we'll give those pussies a right flogging (did I say that out loud??? ) Our esteemed coaching staff: Banchang Barcrawlers @choppers Blanchetown Bunyips @martyg Christmas Island Smugglers @DamoH Coolgardie Prospectors @JPK Eden Whalers @HOLKY Gisborne Grenades @Tomster King Island Monarchs @Tylo Nuytsland Vikings @bryzza Pakenham Parasites @ddsaints Lets see if my Excel pasting skills are any good (or just a screencap will do the job). As posted in the PM, here's our first pass team analysis and potential team for the game, even though we're short a Prospector, a Grenade, and a Viking (there's a joke in there somewhere about walking into a bar...) To steal the PM discussion as a summary: Look at Mummy in for NicNat Shuey into the mids Greene into the forwards for Deledio Drop Enright for Trengove There was another comment down here, but we won't give away all the trade secrets to the pussies I think that sums it up nicely for now. Still a few weeks to get our team in order, or watch it get decimated by the general (and further evidence that the AFL was silly by putting in a bye after R23 this year... complete waste in my opinion). GO MAN! GO BEAST!
Looks like the pussies will be hiding behind closed doors again, so we'll leave this up and keep our discussion going behind closed doors This thread can be used to fill things out in the future and keep a record over the years. GO BEAST

Solid start, my fellow top-of-the-food-chain men - 424/4 (106): Priddis - 114 Shuey - 116 Kennedy - 112 Laird - 82 Versus Nature 85/1 - McGovern
We have a barn-burner here gents: Man - 1234/12 (103) Nature - 885/8 (110) The Man selection committee is bound to come under some heat after leaving out Buddy...
Gents - someone might want to check my maths, as I've done this in a rush, but I think this is going right down to the wire: Man - 2170/21 (103.3) to Nature 1954/19 (102.8) Lachie Neale plus 216 points versus Boyd, Johananissen and Dahlhaus. EDIT: I had stiffed the Men 23 points in my original post. The above is what I have us on.
just need the final check by CD but I have it 2289-2267 in favour of the Good Blokes..... Neale 119.........Boyd 125 Johannisen 84 Dahlhaus 104 Edited to reflect the latest CD change-up
You're pre-scaling Chop, but the result stays the same - undefeated in 200,000 years of existence - Man 2289 to 2267!
Nice way to end the season.....time for a cold shower and a few beers I think......well it is 33C here....
Great work men! Even with some risky calls that didn't go our way, we still managed to win this one! Hopefully the first of many wins for the ORFFU Man v Nature "Allstars".
