Alot of the b graders were only playing last year just to help out so they just want play at all
Does that mean that if any Karoonda Players happened to drift south in your direction BD that you would turn them away, and use age as an excuse? I personally think that the likes of Simon Martin and Hocko will travel to Lameroo (so I hear) and the younger ones, THiele's, Boughens etc will go Murray Bridge direction.
On the whole a poor scenario for Mallee Footy. Would be good if the meeing of heirachy (Jackson, Huxtable and RM League officials) that is supposed to take place will encourage Meningie and Tailem Bend to look at our league as a viable option. Obviously more reshuffling will need to be done with the RMFL, but this is where the SANFL should step in, to organise the comps a bit to keep football in these areas sustainable.
The RMFL is trying to increase the amount of clubs not decrease, i think they'd be mightily annoyed if they lost TB or Meningie to the Mallee League. In saying that i think Meningie due to their location would be a more realistic option to join the Mallee league than Tailem.
