River Murray Football League talk

[happy]

As a Rambler, I couldn't be happier to confirm the signing of Simon Fidge as head coach of the seniors for 2014. He comes highly regarded and we are confident he has what it takes to help develop the squad and get them playing better footy as a whole.

Not a lot on the playing front except the exit of Kay for hopefully only 1 season, margitich unlikely to continue & green could also be returning home. Both had quiet seasons so it will be disappointing if they leave on that note. Only real gain I have heard is Dougall to return but not 100%, fingers crossed Thommo, Dazza Hein & young Sammy Carter can get fit and play a full season as they were sorely missed last year

What happened BiffBoy. Thought you would have put you hand up for the coaching Gig

What about Matt Altmann?

[Goldberg]

Hopefully the RFC consulted the O'neils before making that appointment.Shocking when a club allows the tail to wag the dog....

Not sure you know what you're talking about Ruben! O'neils were on board no matter what.

Yeah, hes a handy one that was missing as well! Be good to see him back, that's for sure

[P.B]

yep Matty Altmann a very good footballer. Is there any news on Meningie recruits Grasshopper? very quiet on your end!

I see Clinton from Tailem has gone to the amateurs. That's Wanders, Degabrielle, Harder and Clinton all gone from Tailem

Haven't heard much, guess we may know a bit more next week when training kicks off.

[Bustarhyme]

Sounds like there are a few quality RMFL players on the move. Imps and Ramblers losing a few wont have as a big an impact as some may think. Yep some quality gone if true but these two clubs are very fortunate to have quality reserves and juniors within their ranks so I'd expect both clubs to be there abouts again in 2014. Think we'll find that Wanders will still be playing at Tailem and is assistant coach. Mypo the ones really on the move from all reports. The Tigers have been sniffing around the GSFL from what I have heard. Hopefully the recruiting committee they set up which put Brownies job up and then re appointed him will get some results. Have also heard that Hally has been spotted working into the wee hours of the night in his new office the club built for him planning the Roos premiership defence.

I heard the 'recruiting committee' had only one member ... Jean Robinson?

[gun onballer]

Mypolonga
gaining three recruits
losing meneghtti to loxton-missus work comittments
losing geno for a few games-apparently signed a contract with the crows reserves(great for the lad if true)

[P.B]

Menenghetti is a big loss for Mypo. I see Matt Thompson from Ramblers has been invited out to train with Crows reserves I haven't met the lad, but he doesn't seem like the type cut out for a pre season! All the best to him though. Good to see some young local talent recognised.

[grasshopper22]

Read on another forum that Casey Thomas has left Mannum, heading Back to to Gawler centrals.

Not 100% sure on all of them, any more ive missed????

[johnny was]

Wattman (victor) also to Jervois

[stomper]

Jervois were also trying to get Ewer back but I heard he is going up north to play.

[grasshopper22]

Nick Wark to Mannum?

[P.B]

Wanders is staying at Tailem as an assistant coach so I imagine a few of those names will be staying there, hopefully. The Henley player is Damien Williamson and absolute gun according to the boys on the Div 1 forum, didn't play last year so 2 points. Not sure why there is a question mark next to Sheedy? All signed up B & F night to my knowledge.

[P.B]

Harder and Degabrielle to Padthaway. The latter being no loss whatsoever. Would have been severely overpaid.

[MR FOOTYHEAD]

Heard The Chief Kennedy, Clive and Didack all a chance of returning. Some goal kicking options in that.

Don't count taliem out yet, a couple of big ins are about to sign I'm told, both will be give leadership for the club.

Spill the beans? Isn't that the point of this forum?
