Ultimate Footy - Norm Smith League

Recommended Posts

Well, it's season effectively over for the Rovers, which means it's Winter Sale time.

Looking for my final 'keeper' for 2013, having already settled on three of them.

Happy to take a hit so that you can improve your chances of winning the flag, but I'll be expecting a gun in return. Have already made bids for Ablett Jnr and Swan (still waiting the outcomes of those) but don't let that stop you from putting in your best bid.

Players available:

Ryan Griffin

Daniel Rich

Shannon Hurn

Michael Hurley

Jarad Waite

Alwyn Davey

Tom Bellchambers

Lachie Hansen

Shaun Atley * (qualifies as rookie keeper)

Ian Callinan

Brandon Matera * (qualifies as rookie keeper)

Liam Jurrah

Matthew Lobbe

Hit me with your best shot. Fire away!

Well done Dappa Dan - Solid win in the end

Strangely i couldn't get my nose infront all weekend however I was confident I would reel you in.

Enter Sam Mitchell & Dan Hannebury, 42 Handballs between them is insane.

The Big Mummy came up 1 hit out short & suddenly I get smashed.

Going to be tough from here for team OMR however while there is still a slight chance for the 8 I will keep swinging hard.

Fortunately I play 3 teams in the mix for the 8 in the final rounds so anything still might happen.

Well done to all other winners in round 16 - This really is a great comp

Happy to scrape home today against HT - I think it was 4 categories by very very small margins - 1 hit out, 2 tackles, 3 marks and 5 behinds!

Getting really hard to scrape out wins leading I to finals, need some big guns to return from injury.

Yes. Good win Jako. Very close despite the 12-3 scoreline.

That was the last nail in my coffin for the 2012 season I would suggest.

If you want Bartel to go with Dal Santo for next year with Sidebottom and Greene as your kids let me know and we might arrange something...

You sound desperate- don't worry as I will not make the top 8. Bartel is not worth trading as a keeper next year. Robbo will belt me as will MM and Dappa will be hard to roll last round. I need to win one to make the 8, therefore give me Bartel for say, Wunderlink. Help a poor bugger like me out.

Despite the loss my bargain scrapheap forward line of Hansen, Gumbleton, Matera and Alwyn Davey - all picked up for nothing during the season - produced 10 goals 6 behinds - which goes to show it is possible to rebuild a shitty list.

Leuenberger's round two season ending achilles killed my side, though. Then Waite went down, Hurley succumbed to three hammies and don't mention losing Jurrah before a ball was bounced in anger.

Don't draft injury prone stars. Lesson learned for next season!

You never know, jcb...

But if you are keen we can work something out. But as a warning - Bartel is susp for another week - hence why I am trading him...

I know he's got a tainted name around here but any interest in Scully? He's an underage keeper and will no doubt be a keeper for years to come. Currently though, he just isn't cutting it for me. Any trades for a high possession winning mid or forward would be strongly considered

Um...no. I had him earlier in the season and admittedly he was serviceable but not outstanding for me. Much prefer his teammate Greene who is a big find for GWS.

In fact, if they swapped pay packets for Greene and Scully it maybe about right !

Sorry to deflate all your tyres on the 'jeep' and put paid to your season.Full credit due for hanging in there all season.

Been there,done that. Those 'hack' forwards of yours posted a great score, it caught me by surprise.

Good luck for the remainder of the season,and beyond.

Why all this angst against Juddy?

Eye gouge = was trying to remove grit from said players eye

Pressure point incident = was only checking pulse on said players person, to make sure he was alive

Elbow into Pavs snout = its so big I couldnt avoid it

Chicken wing = I told him his shoulder was dodgy, and when I checked it went pop.

Let's be totally honest, he has been as big a disappointment as Trenners has been this season.As a keeper you would have to be kidding.

Hurry hurry,hurry. Grande sale Grande sale. Only days left for trading. And some of the action going on with UF, is rivalling the Stock Exchange.

If I may take some time to 'gloat' I am in unfamilar territory, currently on the 7th floor, (nice view up here,I might add). As I look down to the basement level I see a new face sitting there, JA. If JA needs a hand navigating around the basement. I know it extremely well,so feel free to seek out directions.

/end of gloating (as it may be short lived /

Its going to be tight with some intersting games to come. Good luck to all the coaches.

IF I get kicked out of the 8, I have names and address. -_-

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
