Mallee FL

[carey]

Goldberg, who would you rate as the top ten players running around in the Mallee league?

This isn't easy as I haven't seen alot of footy down there this year, but based on previous years i would say:

1. Josh Richardson
2. Wade Nichols
3. Damian Fenoughty
4. Sunyl Vogt
5. Rodney Maynard
6. Shaun Walker
8. Clint Richardson
9. Ryan Crane
10. Kevin Wyatt

Probably overlooked a few guns... Sayers perhaps

I reckon Neville Yard is a bit stiff to miss out there F.A.

He is obviously a gun i overlooked Who's in your top 10 Brock - Its ok you can name yourself

If it's based on this years performances then I'd be lucky to get in the top 100!!

My top ten in no particular order are:

1. J Richo
2. W Nicholls
3. L Richo
4. K Whyatt
5. M Sayers
6. R Maynard
7. D Wohling
8. S Voight
9. S Whyatt
10. S Walker

There are a lot of other players that I'm not sure of their names, and it was still hard to squeeze 10 blokes in.

a couple i thought from last year apart from of course your richo's and the like i love way the hocko plays his footy a little long in tooth now shanonn wyatt great hands shaun walker most forget how good he is because of the rocket factor feno is a great player chicken played some beautys as did the under rated mark vandeleur from pinnaroo sunny and wade will never let them down and people will laugh at me and i have no doubt about it but seeing 1st hand some of things jamie downs did last year i would've love to of seen him play 5 years ago kevy whyatt goe's well as does mark boothy seems to be alot of the same names but i was only there for a year!

sorry malleebull and toby just could'nt fit you blokes in !

[malleebull]

thats ok, i understand. i had to be weened as a youngster by the rspca and have never felt loved. things are going ok i guess


ps. people always forget about the little battlers in life

[Goldberg]

Jamie Downs! Now theres a name. Was going to be one of the greats. Yes Yes theres always stories about could have beens, but this bloke was right up there. Pretty sure he was captain of westies under age & Ricuito was his Vice. Played league @ 16 years old i think. Remember that game on TV. Got the ball on the wing, kicked it to CHF, CHF dropped the mark & Downs was there for the crumb, ran about 40 while ball was in the air. Dont tell me he's still playing! His body was wrecked 8 years ago, Hey down & Out

[The Wuss]

Yep Josh would be amoung the best in any league I would say. How many whyatts are there up at Doggy land Gezzzzz

Currently there are 4, Reagan, Shilo and Shannon are brothers and their cousin Kevin.

Any more that I've forgotten Ant man?

Darryl wyatt - not yet playing senior footy but is going to be one to watch out for. Also Glenn Wyatt is another one, he has since left the mallee league and is now winning mail medals in the North Central Football League with Donald.

Don't forget Brad Wyatt

[Down&Out]

Carey: may have had to be watching a few more years ago than 5 for Downs- Goldberg you must have a very long memory!?
Apparently sayers Got 7 in Peakes 10 goal win today over Karoonda. Only know cause getting phone calls all night from 1 of the other Peake players??

[wobbly knees]

whats going on lamaroo got pumped by BDT peak beat karroonda and murrayville beat pinnaroo a few upsets there by the looks of it any thoughts on the weekend anyone.

[Ricky Ricardo]

did anyone watch the bdt lameroo game? lameroo missing any key players or are bdt really that much better?
murrayville beating pin was a surprise with nicholls still kicking 7!! Are murrayville starting to get it together or pinnaroo just had an off day! by all reports there were alot of fights going on with 4 people in the sin bin at once!
Peake beating karoonda knight sayers and downs all kicking 7 i would say it was played at peake! what does anyone think are peake able to make finals this year or just going to make teams work harder

[malleebull]

bulldogs back????

Played at Karoonda from what I heard. Nath Spry went alright from what I hear???

[Goldberg]

Told you guys Lameroo are pretenders!!! When time to stand up, who does???? Plus here come the doggies!!!!

Sayers & Downs(Toby I assume) kicking 7. Thats a great effort, & with Spry back in touch, Pett, Diprose, & Carling, the Lions will surely start to press for finals now.

[Dogwatcher]

Soooooo.....mid season boys....what are your thoughts on where the competition is at?

[Ricky Ricardo]

i would say borders are def the team to beat and im not to sure who is going to be able to when it comes to the crunch, but i wouldn't be writing to the bulldogs off if they continue to play the way they did on the wkend. i heard that the scoreboard was alot closer than it should've been and not a true reflection on how one sided it was. pin were at full strength and murrayville were missing, paul majascalo, luke kirkbright and drew crane, it was his little cousin (darcy) that kicked 3.
As for peake it was a convincing win they could make finals but they will need downs to kick a bag more often to help out sayers, and will need to beat pin and murrayville most times to make a real push for it.

BDT are head and shoulders above the rest at the moment. Peake have improved from last year and are no easy beats, but to play finals football they are going to have to find a way of beating Pinnaroo or Murrayville 2 more times and I can't see this happening. Murrayville are improving each week having regained some confidence with a solid win over Pinnaroo. Lameroo have had good results so far this year but I always feel that they're beatable as they have got no big guys to play in the ruck.

Interesting that you think Pinnaroo were at full strength Ricky . I could think of at least four players that would slot straight back into their A grade side.

[Ricky Ricardo]

just going from wat i heard dreamer who were these players

[Dreamer]

But would have to agree that BDT are going to be the team to beat again. I agree with Brock that Lameroo are always susceptible. Would probably think that the final four is already made up, Peake are still a chance you would think, but it is fairly outside. Saying that, i think the comp is more even than in the past. no real easy games.

[Dreamer]

just going from wat i heard dreamer who were these players

Brayden Thomas and Brad Moyle, two blokes that consistently play full back and CHB. Clayton Sorn has always been troubled by Brad Moyle. Admittedly Clayton played on the wing on Sat and tore it up. Prob Mvilles best, along with Shilo Wyatt.
Allen Halls and Clint Muster, 2 very handy blokes around the midfield. You could add Martin Fischer to the list, who last time the teams played kicked a sneaky 6 goals in a forward pocket. These are some that could step up.

Is Matt Stanley returning to Murrayville??? Has not been cleared from Pinnaroo but has ventured to a couple of Murrayville trainings early in the season and is showing a strong interested in joining the dogs once more...

Am lead to believe he has already told Pinnaroo he will play B Grade in their next home game. V Peake I believe. Too good a player to be playing in the Magoos. But we all know stan, better to have him doing what he wants, or he can get turned off very quickly.

A big loss will be Ryan Nichols - thank the state game for his presence saturday. Murrayville were on top all day, the score board did not show their true dominance.
