News of what I've heard so far:
BSR: Nothing. Most of them are more worried about cricket
BBH: Also nothing but when something does happen it will be on the front page of the Northern Argus. The football writer lives in Burra.
RSMU: Very quiet (a bit of a worry). Dont think Brian Leys is coaching them but I've heard they are getting some players back from the Eagles (except Zac Heir) and they are cashed up with cheque books open
Min/Man: Also very quiet. Usually don't here much from them until after vintage. Sam Schmidt has left to go to Sydney with his brother who plays at the Swans. Tim Goodwin (Simon's brother) still coaching them at the moment
Eudunda: Pretty much the same as last year. Stephen Carter and Brayden Lyle are supposed to be coming back. Trying to get Callum Rhode back from Tanunda.
North Clare: I think Eddie Hocking still coaching them. I'd doubt that Ricky O'Loughlin would be back. He seemed to lose interest as the season went on. All happened about the same time they started losing and everyone found out how much he was getting paid
South Clare: Where do I start!!! There is a saying in sport "Winning hides a lot of problem" and THIS club is a perfect example. 3 of the the 4 Nordhausen boys have left. Brad Nordhausen gone to Darwin and will probably play in Victoria next year. Michael Liebelt trying out at Centrals. Mansfield brothers back in Whyalla. Several players walking out of the club vowing never to return. I would doubt if any players would follow David Evans to Reynella (if that's the same guy). Most of the players hated his guts by the end of the year and he pretty much got ran out of Clare. THIS TEAM HAS MASSIVE EGO PROBLEMS!!!!! Bill Lokan has a lot of bridges to mend but they will probably be around the place again because North Clare aren't that good. I love it when this mob is tearing itself apart
Blyth/Snowtown: Ryan Darling trying out at Sturt. Promised him a job in Adelaide but the Eagles are refusing to clear him. What they are asking Sturt for an untried country footballer is obscene. No wonder some SANFL club go for interstate recruits rather than go for local talent outside their zone. Jarrad Gillings invited to Sturt also but will be back. Brad Bell trying out at Glenelg and is undecided at the moment. Definitely lost Daniel Stringer who is going to Port Adelaide. 19 year old ruckman, 6ft8 and still growing!!!!! Rest of the team will be back and the others have said if they dont make the league teams in Adelaide, they will be back too. They arent staying down their to play Reserves footy. We'll wait and see
BLYTH/SNOWTOWN NEFL PREMIERS 2006, 2007?
