River Murray Football League talk

[GWW]

After playing in two losing grand finals in a row, i have to admit, it does play a massive part mentally.
Losing sucks.
Surely these guys are sick of it by now.

If they were losing these GF's by a heap and never in the game(s) it probably wouldn't hurt as much, but the last 2, they've been leading at 3/4 time only to lose after a big Jervois last quarter. I think thats what would hurt the most (and losing the lead with 8 seconds remaining in the match ).

[GWW]

is that how the imps players and supporters think?
surely they start every game thinking they are gonna win!
if they dont they might as well fold now!

I'm only speaking as an outsider, but it has to have an effect even if its subconscious. They've now lost 6 GF's since 2000 (won one in that period).

[silicone skyline]

That's it.

Massive mental blows.

Crushing.

[BJ Ernest]

It certainly plays on ur mind losing a few GFs in a row. It becomes a bit of a tag and leading into the finals everyones talking about it. Other clubs use it to motivate themselves and get themselves up against you and its a hard tag to shake once uve got it!

[floataboy]

have heard from a reliable source that t wait is not continuing with imps this year.
apparantly the maggies gave him a deal he couldnt refuse.
will be a big loss for the blues

[The Dutchman]

hey topcat, there hasnt been much talk about jervois recruits. now that timmy has gone, have the bluds lost their recruiting power? or are the bluds keeping their new faces under wraps?

[GWW]

I think Topcat supports another club Dutchman.

But yeah not much mention of Bluds recruits on here, they probably dont need to recruit that many if they can hold onto the majority from last few years, plus they've got some handy juniors coming through.

[words of wisdom]

Ur not gettin away with that easy WoW!

Jervois have won the last 4 and have lost Hill but gained a ruckman.

I would say Jervois are still flag favourites!!!

You Willunga boys love to talk it down and have won 4 flags in row, but thats cause you guys like being told how you are the best

Hill, Baxter (RM), Woody unlikely, lost from 07

[topcat]

DM i have looked back through thisforum and u seem to know whats happening at jervois also pushing the new coaches wagon it seems to be a one or two horse race in O8 in the RMFL but didnt mypo beet the bluds and pushed imps MANNUM beat imps and pushed jervois RAMBLERS BEAT both theres along way to go before the start andthe end with finals we keep talking about the recruits what about the good young players in the comp they may determine who may be favorites this year

I think topcat we'll need to see a list of INs and OUTs for each club before it can be known who will be the favourites, but based on past years and details of player lists known so far, Jervois and Imps should start favourite. Ramblers may have lost a few, but who knows who they've picked up, likewise Mannum, Mypo, and also Tailem who have apparently improved their depth by quite a bit. Meningie are an unknown at this stage, if they've failed to pick up many, they could struggle.

[The Gimp]

Meningie have picked up one gun recruit, haven't they TopCat!!

[The Dutchman]

I know Jervois bluded (pardon the pun) at least half a dozen youngsters in seniors last year which should hold them in good stead. Mannum won the 17's didnt they?

My apologies TC, an informant led me to believe you were (or once were) a Jervois man.

who ever that was is wrong but i have done my homework on the bluds and most of the other clubs in the RMFL it was MYPO who won the 17s flag

[The Dutchman]

some mypo youngsters with the pedler boys might hold them in good stead then.

what are your early predicitons after doing your homework?

[topcat]

DM Ithink there could be some big moves in the comp im predicting MYPO TO BE TOP 2 RAMBLERS JERVOUIS THAN IMPS TAILEM TO MAKE 5 THAN MANNUM AND MEN TO FINISH WHERE THEY ARE HAPPIEST OUT OF FIVE FOR THE MINOR ROUND FINALS COULD BE ALITTLE DIFFERENT

Topcat, what have you heard re Ramblers and Mypo's (apart from 3rd Pedlar) INs and OUTs?

GWW have herd on the grapevine that mypo have picked up another onballer and also have eckerman back from injury joe pedler will be the one to watch in the RMFL in 08

[GWW]

Sounds like you're expecting Mannum to be the big sliders, Topcat, whats that based on? Have you heard that they've lost a few from last year..

Mannun have a very old list of players 5 or so inthe league side . there res were made up of vetrans 'u/17s were competive but will they have enough points to be better than last year the loss of smith hurt them . if he comes back things may be different. i supose you will no more when the clearences start coming in they would have to pick up 7 or 8 and some move to the town .dont know to many who would want to live there they can be a weird mob and brutal to there own

[floataboy]

also heard on the weekend that mypo have picked up a big CHF. unsure of what club but somewhere in the amateurs. will try to find out a bit more info

also heard that 2 transfers have been put in from ramblers to mypo. dunno who they are though. 1 of them could be crossy i guess (the coach).
