7 votes - two threes and a one.

Cheers DW. How many did you poll?

[Dogwatcher]

Not sure. It wasn't many.

[The Gimp]

Not sure. It wasn't many.

I don't believe it!!

[Dogwatcher]

I just checked - four.

From my club:

T. Voigt 18
T. Elliot 13
T. Greatz 8

Plenty of votegetters there.

It would've been an injustice if I'd got more than 4, the bloke who scored a hundred goals only got 7. He deserved more you'd think.

Good to see Todd Elliott still getting votes - was the best colts player I played with/against!

[Dogwatcher]

One of the hardest I'd imagine too...

You play with him in the Mallee or at Jervois?

Yep, easily the hardest when he was at Jervois. I played association with him. Does he live up there now?

[Dogwatcher]

He lives at Kingston-on-Murray. This is his third season with us. Got married last year, has a kid due in short time.

Opposition teams love to hate him, which I can understand.

His nickname with us is Groggy, short for Grogmonster...I'm sure you know why.

Is 'Renno' playing in the Independants GF this week? Kersbrook lads reckon he goes alright, and if playing, Cobdogla will win easily.

[The Gimp]

Yep, I reckon that nick-name would've fit him even when he was 16-17

Renno will play. Very useful.

How do the Kersbrook boys know him?

Couple of years ago, some of the Kersbrook lads played in a trial for Cobby against Blanchetown-Swan Reach. They mentioned that Renno was their gun, and the FF went alright. They did say however that Kersbrook would give Cobdogla a bit of a touch up, but that Renno would strengthen Kersbrook significantly as we lack key position players.

[Dogwatcher]

Their FF (Tilbrook) has kicked a hundred past three seasons. Unstoppable, although there's one poster here who has done a good job of it. Rumour has it this is his last game this weekend...I don't know. Very competitive bloke.

Your appraisal of Renno sounds spot on. He had a very reasonable RFL A grade career in the past, so would definitely do very well in Kersbrook's line-up if you were looking to compare him.

An unasuming cricketer too and has done some damage with bowling and flinging his bat around too.

[Baron Greenback]

Haha....good work DW.

[BIG SEXY]

reno was always a good sportsman, even in his teenage years.

How many votes for the Loxton boys Leigh Kruger Nick Uren Daniel Evans Ash Montgomerie. Also Damien Stevens from Waikerie and Trevor Thorpe from Renmark.

[Dogwatcher]

Kruger: 6
Uren: 6
Evans: 6
Montgomery: 0
Stevens: 6
Thorpe: 6

There's something similar about most of those figures, I just can't work it out....

[southern fan]

The devil at work. It seems our umpire friends like some and not others.

[Dogwatcher]

I dunno SF - the blokes you asked about all came from top sides, with players who were in the top three of polling.

Jamahl Liddle was a clear stand-out for Loxton, while Stevens was fighting a plethora of midfielders for votes, so I don't see anything too ordinary in it.

I wonder if Gibson would've taken it out if he didn't miss a couple of games to play at Westies...
