Rumours and Mumblings - SFL 2012

[Mister Footy]

Heard about another couple of recruits signing on with the Vikings today - one is related to a returning B&F winner and the other has played SANFL and been playing in the mid north

Kieren Johanson who played at Pirie Bulldogs last year? If so would be a good pickup.

Happy Valley second stringers and a few U18's. Nothing potent.

I hear they are also losing Pomeroy to work commitments.. is he also a second stringer?

[Yank Man]

Sorry all, but the second string comment was mine and related to players the Vikings have supposedly lost to a amatuer league club. Yes they have, but mainly "second string" and juniors. Believe Sugg has gone to Ironbank. Very dissappointing for Valleys I would reckon.

[alltruth]

What side looks like they have done all right in recruiting and not loosing players and what side has done the worst??

It is the great mans 30th this weekend so we shall ask him then! When last i spoke to him he was planning on commuting back for Valleys games, not sure if anything has changed tho.

Emus had our first pre season trainings this week, some solid sessions from the new coach with some good quality numbers so far. No new faces (as usual) yet but thankfully no losses so far either.

What happened to morphies old coach lynton bishop did he leave or get the push? Not a regular reader on this forum sorry.

I think teams will be struggling to get any top shelf recruits, the comp doesn't really offer much $$ and is not really In a good state ATM IMO ??

[NO-MERCY]

Heard Sam Mahoney had an accident with a forklift early in the week.
Sam broke his ankle & the forklift was written off, squeeled a bit too!!

Super coach out of action for a few weeks.

[WHEELS&DEALS]

A few in’s and out for Morphy Parks.

Out
Mitch Reberger to Marion and a big out in Seb Guilhaus to Kaniva.

In so far,
Sam Tablot, Daniel longman and Tom Maynard from Aldinga.
Oh, and some big fella called Trevor Cranston. Who need the big Seb anyway

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Those extra points are certainly gonna be needed this season then aren't they

[Tiger83]

Has Cranston actually signed??? I will believe it when i see the clearances on SportingPulse.. Alot of clubs are chasing him, at least 2 in the GSFL and 2 in the Hills league.... Seems he has the pick of the biggest $$$ offer.. lucky bugger.

Signed papers on Wednesday night. And could have gone to other clubs for alot more money

So he must have signed because he likes the look of the Oval, the colour of the jumpers and the car parking facilities.

More likely tied in with the Bays and his ruck assisting down there...

[One Eyed]

Big Crans great guy and can retire after what he has signed on for... No need to do cabinet installs any more

[Dirko]

Heard this morning he's signed for the Twisties.

Makes it easy for him to get to games as he lives just around the corner from the Oval....

Good get by Morphys.

Talbot and Longman? Obviously loyalty isn't a strong point for these blokes! Based on my knowledge (which is limited) they don't seem to have too many problems moving from club to club on a yearly basis!

Talbot: PHOS, Aldinga, PHOS, Bridgewater, Aldinga now Morphy Parks? (Fair record the past 6 years!!)
Longman: Morphy Parks, Bridgewater, Aldinga and now back to Morphy Parks.

I don't understand how clubs can recruits these types of blokes when looking at their records, it's more than likely they'll piss off after the season. And how Longman continually gets paid for a kick is beyond me, not worth a cent!

I agree specky, the whole thing of the extra points last season was all about changing the culture and recruiting the players that will stick around for the right reasons. They seem to have lost recruits from last year and approaching one year fixes again.

Recruits lost from last season = 0 so far.

Seb was initially recruited in 2009 – and has only gone because a $4K sign on and $1300 a game was simply too much to resist.

All A-grade players from last year (apart from Seb) have signed on for 2012, so they’re all worth 1 point less, hence the room to top us with a few new players. So not sure what you’re on about here Asert????

Perhaps you should do some more homework on how the points system works?
