Mallee FL

[Not Scared]

Interesting stuff in regards to leagues for next year. I don't think the netball scenario would be a huge issue. All netball teams in the Riverland now play in the same town as the footy teams, although the netball courts are not always in the football ground as I think they all are in the Mallee. A1 and A2 play Friday nights, but surely they could play Saturdays for the games when they play Pinaroo/Murrayville or whoever it might be.

The only problem it throws up is that it makes the RFL into a 7 team comp, bringing unwanted byes, but again that could be worked around I'm sure. Perhaps an 8th team could even be mustered up.

Lameroo might be another team that could be considered for the RFL?

Whos fav to win the game 2nite peake v callington?

[Down&Out]

League talk is interesting- I think Lameroo heading to RFL is more likely than RMFL! I think that if Karoonda do go by the way side (which I am not so sure about now- seems like every day they are getting more players!!) or they join T/B. Murrayville/ Pinaroo seems realistic maerge if necessary (location wise) i can see Peake being the odd one out. They have strong support/ finance and have numbers but are not either strong enough or close enough to go to other leagues!!

I would think that if eake are keen to do well this year the would want to beat Callington- heard they have a lot of B graders going up that want a kick so will be interesting how they handle game.

[THE FUZZ]

hey mr down and out: whos got alot of b grade players going up? peake.

[GWW]

can anyone fill me in on a player called donald andrews who played for karoonda last year i believe..thanks

I dont know much about him, but i think he was a fringe player with Ramblers about 3 or 4 years ago. I think hes a back pocket type player but really not sure apart from the fact he previously played in the RMFL.

[zedman]

thx gww

[the reflex]

I think at some point all the league's being touted on this forum should have a regional conference to outline the future of footy and try to nail down a strategic plan to determine the best way participation and viability can be kept at a maximum.

[Dreamer]

What do you guys think is the future of Mallee footy?

My thoughts based on Karoonda’s possible problems:
Karoonda: Merge with either Tailem Bend or Mannum in the RMFL.
BDT crows go back to RMFL.
Peake and Lameroo possible merge and go to RMFL (keep 2 grounds).
Murrayville back to Mexico.
Pinnaroo are caught in the middle???

I don’t know if Peake and Lameroo would be strong enough in the RMFL as individual teams, plus the hardest thing about any of those teams entering the RMFL is convincing the Whingeing Murray Bridge sides that sometimes you have to travel more than ½ an hour for a game.

I had alreadyuheard that Lameroo, Peake and maybe Karoonda had a meeting about merging and joining RMFL as soon as next year. Could all be rubbish, but that is the way the comp is heading.
The next question about Pinnaroo and Murrayville is about joining the RFL. Pinnaroo would get no benefit , player wise from joining with Murrayville. Most of Murrayville players would not come backt to play in a combined scenario, and the amount of locally living players you could count on one hand. fair percentage would retire (crane, beckmann, wyatt)
Hardly worth Pinnaroo changing name or geurnsey.IMO
other problems arise with the RFL playing netball and footbal seperately.

I agree with the netball scenario but I would strongly suggest Murrayville have alot more than just Senior players to offer... You haven't thought a great deal before commenting i would think. Your lack of perspective and intelligence on the matter astounds me

Funnily enough ant man I have quite a good perspective on it. Murrayville have very few colts in the district that will stay, or continue to play in the local town. I could probably count them on 2 hands. I am specifically talking about colts over the age of 12 here. a lot of the ones younger than this actually live closer to underbool. Maybe you should do the math yourself!

Peake won by four or five goals last nite. Wasnt a bad hit out pretty scrappy at time was some good signs thought. Matt Sayers looks the goods kicked six or seven i think. Was pretty hard to get any systems going as we played about 30 odd blokes in four quaters

i dont know what game you were at but i think the winning margin was under a goal. Callington played there B grade and about 4 A graders for the second half. Didnt look to bad a game good signs by both sides i think Peake will do well this year got a few good players out there. Cant recall anyone from Peake kicking over 3 goals either

i went down and had a look i dont think that sayers kicked 6 but he did end up with a few though looked pretty sharp... was a very scrappy game but only a trial i guess. Vanders burnt micky wilson i thought played pretty well and yes Aaron had a quiet night but time will tell its only the first game for them after all.

[Dogwatcher]

Parrakie won the cricket GF I understand with an interesting result.

[Boo25]

I was talking to a bloke i work with his lad plays for marion said that the trial against lameroo went well. marion a grade won by about ten goals but he was saying lameroo had a couple out with other commitments. not sure how the b's went
