Riverland Football Chatter

[Bum Crack]

Robbie Vagg and Luke Hefford back from Mackay to.........Berri

Would have been a couple of handy pickup's for Cobby,but then i assume Cobby would not have offered them any money

Just to stop all the innuendo, I can swear on my life that these players are not getting paid. Play on.

Mark Tyrrell to Barmera-Monash. Big pick up.

Mark Tyrrell to Barmera-Monash. Big pick up.

I see his clearance has been denied twice, he played one game last year in the second's, i wonder if he is going to hang around for the rest of the year

I've heard he is.
We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

anyone watch the BMFC loxton match? looked like a good one

[Basher McCracken]

I've heard that Josh Buchecker and Matt Leyson from Barmera are gone for the year,both are needing knee recon. Also sounds like West Adelaide are up to there old tricks again, asked Matty Leigh to play u/18 on the weekend with out informing Barmera,i hear Wildo was not very happy. Sounds like Centrals have more courtesy for clubs up here than Westies ever will.

Had heard same on Josh. Operation this week.
I was only 15 or so metres away when he went down.
Seemed like a fairly innocuous tackle, except for the fact he fell forward in the tackle and his knee jabbed into the ground.

He and Matty are big blows for the Roos.

Anyone know how Rhy's Duthie's injury is?
I was also fairly close to that one and it sounded ordinary.

Torn his medial.

countryfooty.com.au usually has some from Nick Kossatch. Haven't checked to see if there on there this week though

cheers, yeah thats another one i check but normally not too much on the Indy comp. Riverland Weeky had a great preview last year (even if it was often off the mark with predictions!!) but dont seem to do anything this year.

Yeah I was thinking the same, what happened to Arm Chair Experts DW?

[Shiney Forehead]

Why dont they bring back talk it up with Saf & Reno............that was dam good reading

i reckon the area needs a half hour tv/radio program dediacted to local footy as they do in other areas. and maybe a bald fat tattooed man running naked in the background

Regarding the Riverland Weekly's preview, Was told that the footy preview was not bringing in any revenue so got cut. Disapointing really. Cant believe none of the papers in the riverland give any real space to the local footy. Other comps in other papers have 2/3 somtimes 4 page spreads on local footy then cricket in summer. With such a strong comp Riverland and Indies cant believe it gets no coverage.

I guess when you rely solely on advertising revenue you need the support of advertisers to help justify the content. I know in the years I was there no local businesses wanted to get behind it. Granted, it's been tough times in the Riv so perhaps when the economy recovers the experts may return. I know the lads enjoyed writing the footy but they've got no choice in this one.

Clearly you haven't read the Pioneer then BOM, because there is at least 4 pages across the 2 papers each week, with match reports, results, articles, previews and weekly teams.

I reckon the footy gets pretty good coverage. Damn sight better than the cricket anyway.
Over to you DW.

Sorry Baron if you look at my original post I was talking more about the websites than taditional papers so my reference to the other papers having lots is probably not really fair on u guys.
As I live out of the area I rely on the web sites to get info as the traditional papers arnt available here. This is why i was so disapointed with the Riverland weekly as they had their whole paper on their site so it was really easy to view.
If the story has already been writen and the previews done is there any reason they cant all be up loaded? I guess that wouldnt help u guys sell papers tho would it. maybe i need to plan more trips to the Blanchy road house : )
