Riverland Football Chatter

[Johnny Bowla]

Arnold was pretty closely checked all day, played up the ground in parts, just didn't look like he got into the game. The delivery to him wasn't great either.

[nuggety goodness]

[Baron Greenback]

Good on ya Lloydy.
Best Independent player living in the Riverland!!

Well done Brad too. Can you do the double this weekend?

I believe that was one S. Renfrey who bought the guernsey.

Interesting photos have emerged after Loxton North's game on Sunday back at the club.

[Johnny Bowla]

They must have misplaced their pants.

[Dogwatcher]

Was a good effort by Horsell - a huge number of BOGs.

Well done to Lloydy too. A champion bloke.

As for Renno buying that guernsey, mining must be good!

i thought alot of the votes were way off the mark this year. games we got torn up by 1 person and they didnt get a vote. horsell had a very strong 2nd half of the year according to the votes, lloyd had a real crack too which was good to see.
i thought the speration of the counts was a success as far as the indys are concerned, i had fun and the turn up was great. if i had 1 criticism it would be that one half of the comp was way over 1 side of the room, the other half was on the other half of the room making socializing a bit tougher than inpast years (IMO). not much you could do about it though i dont think. feed was great too.

i reckon reno might wake up in the next half an hour next to a geurnsey and say WTF is this and where is my 400 clams?!

[Dogwatcher]

Good feed. Good crowd - was great to get the kids there.
It was a night that represents what Independent footy is all about. Blokes who love their footy and enjoy socialising but don't take it too seriously.

Crushy, would it be one particular umpire whose votes were out?

[BIG SEXY]

not from memory, although his were consistently wayward i think it was (atleast for MKFC games as they are all i really saw) votes in general

Yeah I had a ball last night.
Meal was great.
Better than the crap we normally get.
All I want is a schnitta with chips. Well done Cobby Club.

[OXnFOX]

horsell certainly favourite to win the medal but 31 votes?! stick to picking your nose i reckon.

28 pretty close!!
I wont go on and say too many "i told you so's" because i was VERY wrong about Andy Lloyd. Always rated him and thought he got a rough deal from the umps. Well done Andrew its about time you were noticed.

Did anyone notice that players who traditionally backchat umps didnt get a look in?

IMO umps shouldnt be picking these awards, opposition coaches should.
Who knows better than them who carved them up.

If a coach has a gun forward and he is held to one goal, how often do umps notice this?
But the coach knows how well the fullback played on his star forward and recognizes his efforts in the votes.

Well done Bradman.
Well deserved.

[OXnFOX]

OK cheap shot, BUT I HAD TOO!

This is obviously a joke
31 votes
Cmon
The winner will win on bout 18-20
31 votes would be unheard of in 14 games

Pfffftt!

[Dogwatcher]

Anyway Horse, it's not unheard of, check out the Div 7 reserves medal winner

i agree with everything there, points in bold especially. backmen never seem to get a look in for these type of awards which is a shame cause there is some great backmen going around

Cannot include this as the Umpires are Club umpires and the home team umpire gets to pick the Best on the day!

[Dogwatcher]

Hey, you said "it's unheard of". There were no contingencies on that
