Riverland Football Chatter

Under lights at Loxton North last night the Panthers finished victors against Berri 10.7 (67) to 8.2 (50).
Berri was almost at full strength missing a few key players such as Saf, Scholefield, Harwood,
Langdon and Barber.
Loxton North had three quarters of its A grade team out there, missing the likes of Tim Arnold, Justin Proud, Geordie Franks,
Josh Voigt, Tim Roberts, Daniel Cass, the Vowles boys and Blake Hentschke.
However, it was a good hit out, North led for most of the match before Berri kicked four goals in the third to
get within 5 points at three quarter time.
North played with a lot of run and handball from half back, while Berri generally went long and direct through the middle.
Beauchamp was good and Stone played well.
For North, the big men were promising with Ben Miller's return strong and Wunkar recruit Nathan Brown was quick up forward
and added some real spark.
Overall, both sides looked evenly matched with each playing some juniors.

I take it you have no aspirations of working as a sports journalist for the Advertiser, especially with ridiculous comments such as that

Bit petty BC. Agree, not almost full-strength at all if you're missing those players but overall the report was fair and balanced.

[Dogwatcher]

So, from what I can gather, both sides were about three quarter strength.
Obviously there will be massive improvement from both sides.
I don't think Berri had any recruits out there and time is running out to gain some for the start of the season.
Any addition after the large amount of departures would be welcome but Rod would be confident he could do something with what he's got.
Both sides would have been happy to shed some rust and two very astute coaches would have got a fair idea of what most of their guys are capable of.

What I can also gather is that BC is a bit grumpy today....

I missed you in the bar last night BC. Was hoping to say g'day.
Great effort by Berri to get in and have a meal afterwards, I think just about everyone of the contingent that came over stayed. The effort will be repaid.

I left the club before I could be roped into the weekend's B grade trial against Flaggies. Ain't gonna happen.

BC, no need to get personal.
It was good to see some young players getting a run for both sides and agreed, that
it was brilliant to see the Berri lads come in for a meal and a drink afterwards.
I also enjoyed watching the footy under lights.
Will Friday night games ever become a regular fixture again up here?

Yeah sorry. No more posting for me.

We need decent lights. Although I remember games being played under lights at North back in the day. If you can play there you can play anywhere. Might've been upgraded since though.
I played a night game at Berri in 2002 and that wasn't too bad. Renmark isn't great though.

[Dogwatcher]

I didn't enjoy playing night footy.
Have played at most RFL grounds at night and the lights aren't really up to it.
From a spectator's position, sadly, my vision these days means I struggle to watch a game at night with the lights we have.

But...if the RFL thinks the lights are good enough and it's good for footy, more night games should be played.
The under 11s could be the curtain raiser, which would be a buzz for them.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference to footy though...

Played night footy in Whyalla regularly and it was a lot of fun, lights were good but crowds were usually down compared to on a Saturday.

I reckon u13 matches used to be played beforehand.

[Peter Griffen]

Barmera play Irymple today at the Lakeside. Should be a good hit out. Both sides lost GF's in their respective comps last year.

[Baron Greenback]

Mark Owens back at Renmark.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Is he still hopping from club to club.

[Peter Griffen]

Irymple beat Barmera by 4 pts. Not sure on anything else!

[Dogwatcher]

PG, were both sides three quarter strength?

[KS41]

Berri played Eudunda/Robertstown in a 6 quarter match at Moorook on Sat. Berri got up by bout 2 goal in the end I think. Not sure if they were at full strength or not, but i thought they were guna get up by a lot more. Good day out though.

11 A Graders didn't play yesterday.

Loxton North beat Flagstaff Hill.
Can't tell you much about the game - wasn't there.

Flaggies B grade won by five goals. A good result for North's Bs considering they were scratching for players on Thursday night and Flaggies pumped us last year.

[Basher McCracken]

Is he still hopping from club to club.

i think he is living in Renmark now, don't know how many games he will be playing due to work and the study he is doing now

[OnSong]

I heard a rumour Callum Trifonoff and Geordie Franks made their single beds into bunk beds, resulting in extra space for activities.
Can anyone confirm?
