River Murray Football League talk

[slug]

I think some minor changes need to be made & that is all. Reduce the number of points to what equates to 2 players ie: 6 points for the premiers, & add 1 point for every spot after. Seems fairly straight forward! God knows why 2-4 are on the same points? Seems rediculous.

Its a simple fact that most clubs cant afford to spend the larger amounts of points, as players are asking for more & more every year, so reduce every1's points but still have a variance

it seems some clubs are by-passing the point system by recuiting quality jnrs,eg kane mc donald to ramblers this week.How long do they have to play jnrs at a club to be a 0 pointer? Is half a season enough?I don't think so! And i'm not saying that i think thats the reason he is going there just interested to see how it works out.I was at these meetings to bring the points system in and this was always a concern of the non murray bridge clubs. be interested to see how this pans out.And i know the mallee is only a 1 pointer anyway and kane will prob never get an a grade game at ramblers, just seeing how the system works!!

If he is elligable to play colts he's a zero pointer, simple as that! We dont need the -1 numbers by the way

We were concerned by this aswell. Mannums GF side was a prime example. Over-recruiting then HAVING to play kids. Should get rid of the -1 rule!!!! If a kid is good enough, he'll make it on merit anyway, look at Ben Dougall, Wingard, Robinson etc. Non of these kids are or were playing because their clubs needs -1 to fit under the points allocated

Goldberg you are generally around the mark but your last post is the biggest load of C**p you have ever written. Of the two kids we played in last years GF, one is playing for Sturt and when permitted in our A grade side this year and the other was poached by Karoonda for decent money. get off your high horse. they would both walk into half the RMFL sides this year. It is not like they were thrown into the deep end and paddled.
Take a deep breath.

Mallee league was zero points when the points system was introduced a few years ago in RMFL, has it changed?

Rough, was definately not having a go at the 2 Kids talents as they will both turn out to be quality players, simply pointing out that in a perfect world where you could play who ever you like, that IMO, last GF day Mannum had a couple of guys running around in the ressies who would have been more of a benifit to the League side then especially the little red head, but it was widely known that he had to play to get the side inside its points restrictions.

Mallee players will be 2 points in 2011!! Even if you recruited them in 2010 as a zero pointer, they will be a 1 pointer in 2011 as per normal loss of points per year

And you need a fulltime administrator to keep the books in order, well almost!

went and watched the game. RMFL should have been up by much more at half time and hence should have won comfortably. they controlled all the play early. top 2 best for each teams were the stand outs. just a pity the rmfl ruckmen couldnt get anywhere near the ball or they might have actually gotten a clearence in the 2nd half. also thought patty o'neil was better then liam. pity he doesnt have a right foot though

[Micky Conlan]

Been a while since RMFL beat GSFL ? pretty sure it's been good part of 10 years.If this is so surely GSFL is'nt that much better or is it?

S Baulderstone got in the best players,never seen him play,plays in ruck i think,how did you think he went teaoby?

Played in both leagues and i would say GSFL is definetly stronger. Having 3 more teams and the likes of Willunga on Adelaide's doorstep help with attracting the better talent

both the ruckman for the GSFL were good imo, both got touches around the ground as well. but really just dominated the centre square and stoppages. gave hodge and the like so much service.

2 Huge Games this week-

Ramblers v Imps- Massive whispers going around that Imps have picked up 2 Blokes from Port & will unwrap them this week.
Ramblers just
Jervois v Mypolonga- If Mypo win this, its hard to see them losing 5th spot, so finals spots will be cemented, just the order to work out.
Mypo by 24 points
Mannum v Tailem- Mercy rule should be inforced by half time
Mannum by 167

i can just see clive live licking his lips to kick a lazy 10 on todd downs

[Rough]

Goldberg my memory is stretched just a bit since last year, maybe killed a brain cell or two, nah not maybe, have definitely killed a few but I reckon we played without Hentschke because of injury in our A grade GF so we weren't forced to play anyone U18. All selected on merit. Happy to be corrected but if it is widely known we were forced to play them then so be it.
In any event I actually really like the idea of balancing excess points against playing your own kids because it PROMOTES THEM. I think that it is probably a great to play a kid and have a look at your future. They friggin love it and get a thrill out of playing senior footy for the club. History shows that we lost but had we have got over Imps, playing at home in that game would have been a once in a lifetime experience.
There are plenty of things to change with points to get right but I reckon the minus points for your own kids is not one of them.

[Rough]

Sounds like you Murray Bridge boys had a pretty decent game over there. Were the rumours about Imps finding a couple of new players from town true? Was it as good a game as the score suggests?
