Riverland Football Chatter

[Counter Punching]

Bit weak if a coach can tell you what to do in your own time.
The maybe FS has heard Lyrup Lions/Lyrup Chockers

[Hardpuncher]

i heard there were a few mistakes made on the lyrup bench on saturday. didnt get to see the game and what i heard could be wrong but was told players were moved out positions they were dominating

[Baron Greenback]

I didn't notice any, but I was pretty focused on our boys.
In Jeff's defence, I don't think positional changes would have made that much difference.
The last quarter was a bit of a freak occurrence I reckon.

[Lazy]

I heard that lyrup actually tanked the game so they dont have to met Cobby again

[Dogwatcher]

Ouch - the tanking talk again.

[Baron Greenback]

I don't see what they'd get out of that.
Cobby is a 99% certainty to make the GF so they would have to play them again anyway if they made it that far.

[Baron Greenback]

I hear Deane Mitchell copped a big hit on the weekend?

[Bradman]

focus stuey, if youre still about, i overheard a couple of prominent cobby blokes talking about finals footy on saturday, something along the lines of if lyrup beat paringa today cobby would drop their match against paringa to keep you out of 2nd spot. i dont believe they realised i was listening so if youve got a response i would be more than happy to pass it on.

If this was the case i think its obviously Piss talk
Rodney isnt a bloke to throw a game and if it was spoken about i would def voice my opinion and refuse to play in a game i was asked to throw
Plus i hate losing no matter what

Wouldnt say big hit in that context but wouldnt have been the worse thing to happen on a footy field and wont be the last.

[Dogwatcher]

A fair reply.

I heard it was from the old bloke who has a tendency to hit the younger kids

I heard it might have been payback for a young bloke kicking an old bloke in the head while he was on the ground.

[Dogwatcher]

I'm not going to defend the incident. The two that were involved know the full story.

I will defend the player involved though. He is a hard but fair player who will put his body on the line at all times. He has copped his fair share of hard hits over the years and sent plenty out as well. Your implication that he targets young kids is utter rubbish.

I agree.
I've played against him many times before and never seen him pick on a young kid.
Also the 'kid' you are talking about is around 20 I think, and can stick up for himself just fine.
Mitchell's a pretty solid lad and he'll bounce back pretty quickly I'd reckon.

[Lazy]

Fair enough fellas
Dont know the bloke myself just commenting on what I have heard

[Baron Greenback]

No worries mate.

On a brighter note, just noticed that all the finals are played at decent ovals this year.
None at Brown's Well or East Murray!!

[Baron Greenback]

Matt Camplin got off at the tribunal last night.

Darrell Tilbrook in fact received 2 weeks for striking, despite pleading guilty.

[Dogwatcher]

Tough call. I really don't think he deserved two.
See's him miss last two minor round games - I'm sure he won't mind the rest though.

[Baron Greenback]

Will keep him fresh for finals.
Gives Lippis and Willmott a chance to catch him for the leading goal kicker award.
Tilbrook 67 by my count, despite what the rfl website says, Lippis 51, Willmott 49.

[Baron Greenback]

Also heard Wunkar could have a special appearance in the last round.
