In 2023 we farewelled Ooslumbird who lost his battle with cancer. Pollyanna also withdrew from the DuFFLe competition due to ill health.
We did, however, have fantastic DuFFLe season with Straddo’s Souls making barely a misstep on their path to the 2023 premiership. Others had great seasons too and challenged at different stages - notably: Cookie, MattyT, Blockerhall, Moptop and Slammen. Commiserations to Bizkit and Awake. Biz had a fantastic season and just to challenge for the premiership in the Grand Final was phenomenal, but when you look at how he strategically selected teams to enable him to defeat those more credentialed, one has to tip their hat. Awake: Geez you got a dud squad from Day 1 and there is a lesson for you all - don’t miss Draft Night.
Congratulations to FD1016 who triumphed over Hypen to secure the 2023 Richmond Cup.
