Key ABL matchups

You know it's Friday afternoon when a thread like this gets posted.

I got all the names off of boxscores so far this year, or well-known ABLers who may not playing at the moment. The teams may not have played each other yet, or the players may not play the same position, but that's not the point.

Here are my key ABL men's matchups for 2005, to be said out loud in the manner of a court announcer:

the Forman-Farman matchup (Sturt v Forestville)

Coffey-Cioffi (Central v West)

Kies-Rees (North v Woodville)

I'm desperately waiting for one of the following players to transfer from South, so we can have the following killer matchup:

Frost-Blight

Other players with names begging for a matchup include:

Wood
Steele
Goodenough

Anyone else got any others?

haha I was thinking wtf is he on about, they're not really matchups. Then I realised what was going on. The similarities of names and how hard it would be to announce the names together.

Then Frost-Blight got me stumped as they didnt really sound the same. Then it clicked "Frost Bite".

Good work I must say. lol.

a few years ago Forestville almost had David Stiff. Jason Dix and Willie Simmons were already playing.

I'll let you put it together

That would have been a 'huge' backline!

I attended the 29th Dec game last year in Perth. When Willie was taking some foul shots, I called out "go Willie". I won't repeat what someone behind me said when comparing our Willie with their Cox. The last laugh was on me anyhow because the Sixers won that game.
