River Murray Football League talk

[floataboy]

It is a good topic for discussion. I think the best way to do it is for each of the head coaches to sit down with there players and put forward the names of about 8-10 players who want to play and are fit to play and then the Association selection committee narrow that down to 35-40 players to come out to train and then pick the best 22. Some players don't want to play, others jump at the opportunity. Thoughts???

seems like a logical idea which is possibly why the RMFL dont do it that way

there should at least be some consultation with players before the squad is selected. it would be fine if only 3 or 4 people pulled out with legitimate reasons. but there is no point putting 20 players out by having to get a Dr's cert who have no wish to play the game.

Could probably add Ben Hansen at Tailem although he could still be a year or 2 away from rep footy, and Eyre from Imps as well. Quite a few young guys at the Roos too.

Sorry to all those i missed ,this is my point there is enough talent localy . All players locals lets make some changes i think you would get other leagues interested.PLAY ROND ROBIN

[Goldberg]

Rep footy is great for most blokes, reguardless of age. Really like the idea of giving clubs the responsability. Then you would only get the ones who wanted to play in the squad. After all the idea behind rep footy is to see the best the league has to offer, not the best who are under a certain age.

Not to say your idea is not a good one FIL, because it is also a good alternative. It really is strange that some of the local blokes just dont seem to embrace it like they used to. Remember when it was a privalige not a chore!! We need to get that mentality back, & i think, as you stated FIL, a round robin carnival over a long weekend may just intice some

Braun was the Jervois player

It looked to me to be around 20 aswell which would mean 20ish were missing. Could be the biggest week at the tribunal ever

ha ha. classic

surely t rigney will be out on thursday though wouldnt he? he normally loves these kinds of games and loves turning it on

any idea on how many over 25's were out there goldy?

Sure right Trev usually loves these games BUT he was injured in association game last year and missed the next month of club footy. From memory he broke a bone early in the game and played on for a b.o.g. performance......There is only one thing Trev loves more than footy and that is cash robbo!!!

Ohh and he doesnt mind a drink or 2 to celebrate either

[Teflon_Coated]

How's the association team looking boys?

[Goldberg]

Good enough to beat your mob TC

Not sure of final team, but the squad that trained last night looked as good as it has for a few years now

[Panther32]

The teams looking really good TC, should be a great game on saturday and I would encourage everybody to get out and watch it.

3 Bluds are playing and yes Luke is playing...broken jaw and all!!

[GWW]

Only 3

Apparently Harrowfield's jaw wasn't broken, but from what i've heard looked a mess.

Ewer and Jags were both unavailable and Schmidt was "ommitted" probably because of his age...as he said "...Baylis took up two of the over 25 spots because of his age so there were only 3 spots left!!!.."

So "unavailable"...i wonder if this will have implications for those 2 players and others who have made themselves "unavailable"...ie will they be brought before the tribunal if they don't have a Dr's Certificate??

Are any of the Tailem boys playing P32? Hogarth or Bell..

[Panther32]

Both players should be fine. They did state though that two players will be suspended though, so they do take it very serious.

[Panther32]

Oh and yeah the little fella (Dylan?) will play.

[Goldberg]

Did they state who the 2 were Pantha

Obviously u were there! Are you playing Sat mate

[Goldberg]

Who else missed because they were over 25?? Stupid RMFL
