[Baron Greenback]

Yep. Good on ya Mike. Keep em down I say!

[Johnny Bowla]

Anyone care to have a crack at doing their top 6 for this season.

Im gonna go with

1.Renmark
2.Waikerie
3.Barmera
4.Loxton
5.Loxton Nth
6.Berri

[Baron Greenback]

It's pretty hard to pick I reckon.

I'm gonna go with:
Renmark
Barmera-Monash
Waikerie
Berri
Loxton North
Loxton

But that could be completely wrong!!
Wouldn't surprise me if Loxton or North made the finals this year.
I reckon competition for that fourth spot will be pretty tight.

[Baron Greenback]

Independents I'll go:

Ramco
Paringa
Cobdogla
Wunkar
Moorook-Kingston
Brown's Well
Lyrup
East Murray

[200 Killer Wasps]

Chuck I have heard a second hand rumour that Ramco are struggling for numbers, heard anything your end. Some players they expected to get have apparently signed with Morgan.

[BIG SEXY]

heard similar 200, but from a ramco player (no prizes for guessing who) assures me numbers are good, 16-18 every night and theres talk of a couple of big names coming out.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Still only Mayward and Hole to add to last years MMFL wooden spooners. They may still do well but I hope Chuck has covered himself if he is backing them to win a premiership.

[Bum Crack]

Renmark
Waikerie
Berri
Loxton
Loxton Nth
Barmera

Hard to go past Cobby again in the independents. They were that much better than everyone else last year, they can afford to lose some quality players and still be right up there.

You really dislike Barmera don't you BC!

Not really. I played all my junior footy at Barmera and some senior footy before making the move. I just think they might struggle this year. I didn't put them bottom because I hate them.

[Dogwatcher]

Will be four Karpany's playing for Lyrup this year. Kenny's brothers Cecil, Maurice and Gilbert will all be there.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Lyrup United

[the reflex]

Can someone shed some light on the issue as to why Barmera footballers seem to think they are so much better than anyone else? For a team that has not won an A Grade Flag for 20 years (longest running drought of any A Grade Club), I just cannot understand it. Not saying it's all of them, but it's almost like the players undergo a wanker transplant the moment they sign up with the club.

You dont exactly love em BC

I don't hate them though. I'd call it a healthy rivalry.

I've also heard that nearly all of the other aboriginals won't be playing for Lyrup this year.

On this topic can anyone please shed some light on a James Abdulla that played for Lyrup in 2008?
He has moved to Whyalla and is awaiting a clearance to North Whyalla ive heard.
What sort of Footballer is he? How good?

[200 Killer Wasps]

He applied for a clearance for Ports in Eastern Eyre at the beginning of last season but withdrew it and returned to play for Lyrup in time for the first match.

Saw him play that first match where he lined up at CHF and kicked 3 goals, not overly tall but strong and quick with a beautiful long kick.

He will go missing at times but will still be a valuable addition to North's forward line.

I wouldn't have thought he would make the A Grade at North. Lyrup is a lot lower standard than that of North Whyalla.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Yes it is a step up for him but not as big a step if he had gone up to Riverland A grade.

As long as he realises that he will have to work harder for a spot I can see him lining up in a forward pocket alongside Prokopec come first match.

[JS SPORTS]

Need a bit of information on Loxton Footy Club, either confirmed or denied.

Do they pay their players, or just a few? A couple of months ago, one of their officials told me "we do not pay our players!"

I know of one that's being payed and there's an ex Riverland guy hawking himself around in town using Loxton as bait for coin.

Anyone up there honest enough to answer the question firstly and secondly(via pm) what sort of coin is around?
