Dont ask me where i heard it but i remember someone saying to me they were pretty confident Langhorne's Creek would be playing in the RMFL in the not to distant future.

I went & watched the Mypo v Imps game on the weekend & I think Mypo are the ones to watch over the next couple of seasons. They were all over Imps in the first 1/4, just didn't have the same amount of quality rotations that Imps did, and got run over by the end of it, but if the are able to get a few quality guys to help their existing side, they will be a real contender. Its a credit to them just how many locals they have playing, and that they can be that competitive against a really good side in Imps. Heres some food for thought- Place Fitzgerald into Mypo's side (which is just 1 player, not the FEW as I stated earlier)on the weekend & what does that do to the result of this game??? Take, 11 goals off Imps score (because some1 would have kicked the other 10 anyway) & add 7-10 on Mypo's score because they were the 1 on 1 contests he won, when the ball was just bombed in to him. Interesting isn't it?

I dont have any real idea of the inside workings of Mypo mate, but I would think they would be looking at re signing him, seems to doing very well with not the strongest list. The only year he had a quality team, Mypo made the GF! There were some strong rumblings around the club that he would be coming home to Ramblers, not long ago tho?

Well WOW,

Rumor has it that the coach has pulled the pin. Really good people at the Jervois footy club, poor form if true.

Know real surprise there. Sources tell me that things havent been to happy down at Bluds land all year. Interesting to see who takes control for the remaining games and beyond.

Have heard the same Killa that Jervois has not been a happy place to be playing footy at this season..Lets hope they can pick the right bloke next time as the comp needs a strong Jervois.The whisper I heard over the past few weeks is that Deeks might be applying for the position.

Did enjoy his time there but i'd put my money on a current GSFL coach

[pigskin]

Is this 4 real?? If so, who will be caretaker coach for the rest of the season, or is Ray seeing the season out, then handing over?

If a current GSFL coach is indeed the front runner, would be hugely unlikely he would take over for the remainder of this season as that would require him quitting his current job

deeks would be great to have back, helped alot of the young lads there and an excellent coach:)

pls inform us of this GSFL coach WOW, i will be very interested in knowing who it may be?

[GWW]

I have no inside information, but my guess would be that all GSFL could probably be discounted except for those coaching Myponga/Sellicks and maybe Goolwa/Port Elliot.

I would expect, like everyone else, Imps and Ramblers to stay perennial top 3 finishers for the foreseeable future. Both have very strong juniors, a big population base to draw players from, and are very financially viable, Imps in particular. In some ways its a little disappointing that Redlegs couldn't hold on. When they made the grand final in 95 it looked like they had a reasonable future although their success that year was essentially built around recruiting a heap of players from the Hills League. I'm not familiar with what their finances were like but perhaps the recruiting they did around 94/95 severely affected their ability to operate as a footy club in the coming years.

I think there's no doubt that Ramblers and Imps have benefitted the most from the points system over the last few years, its almost like we're back to the early/mid 80's again. The other 5 clubs will probably now take turns in competing with the 2 MB clubs. It will all depend on points available, club finances and of course the strength of juniors coming through. I would expect Mannum to remain competitive for a few years yet, they are obviously very financially secure at the moment, plus have good juniors and a reasonable population to draw players from. Mypo as has been discussed have some very good young players at the moment, so will probably start to challenge for a top 3 position in 2 or 3 years time. Meningie have used the points system quite well and have done a great job of turning their on field performances around this year. But the key factor for them will be how long they have the finances to compete with the top clubs. Jervois have built a culture of success the last 6 or 7 years but are obviously focusing on juniors this year. They are a wildcard team though because they have recruited a lot of players the last 5 years so if they can get any of these back to their clubs they are likely to be zero/minimum pointers. Things don't look especially great for Tailem at the moment, however there's a bit to work with. The key to them is hanging onto their juniors given the strength of their under 17's the last couple of years. They presumably wouldn't have spent as much money on players this year so may have a little in the bank for when some of their quality juniors have played 3 or 4 years of senior footy.

Someone mentioned about Imps recruiting Fitzgerald. I can see the 2 sides to this. On one hand, they have the finances and points available, so are more than entitled to do so. On the other, they recruited a player earlier in the season (Callun Hutchinson I think his name is) who judging by results has shown that he can kick goals at A Grade level. Looks like this lad is now playing Reserves, which isn't ideal.

Someone also mentioned that it was Imps who were rumoured to have had discussions with the Hills League. I can't help but thinking that they may have put that story out there to hurry up the process of restructuring the RMFL and neighbouring leagues. Imps would contend for a top 5 spot in the Hills but certainly wouldn't be as dominant as they currently are in the RMFL. They would probably be better off joining the GSFL in some ways, they would probably be equal standard to the top 5 clubs there this year. However it isn't really practical because if they were to join that league, a club or 2 would move on, and with the current strugglers Encounter Bay and Goolwa/Port Elliot both in the Victor Harbor georgraphical area it would make no sense for them to move to another league.

If Imps were to move to the Hills (which i think would be unlikely) it would probably have significant repercussions for footy throughout the Murraylands area. There would be 6 clubs left and the league would need to bring in more clubs, something they haven't been able to do since BDT and Nairne left and Redlegs folded. The focus would then maybe go onto bringing in a Langhorne Creek or Strathalbyn or maybe even a combined super club from the “Mallee” league.

Wasn't it done by email?
By the sounds of it he was losing the respect of everyone down Bloodland, he didn't mind slagging the past 2 coaches at every chance either, maybe that word KARMA hit him right between the eyes.
By the sounds of it the club didn't do alot of homework on him from the start, maybe they got sucked in to the bloke pumping up his own tyres which i heard he's very good at.
I wouldn't be slagging the past 2 coaches of Jervois ( Richards & Mahoney ) especially when they were responsible for the great success of 5 premierships in a row.

Plenty of good coaches could be up for grabs in the GSFL in 2011. Steve Jaggard, Gary Summerton might want to coach A grade again, maybe Mic Moller to put his hand up? Maybe someone from the KNTFL.... Purely speculation from my point.

[GWW]

Ah ok, i was thinking you were referring to current A Grade coaches within GSFL.
