Riverland Football Chatter

[Bum Crack]

From what i have heard Waikerie are hoping to announce there new coach by the end of the week???

Will be interesting who the club want to take the club for three straight?

My money's on Troy Lehmann with Griffo as his assistant.

I agree Reflex. The B graders will belt the Independent team.
A north v south Indy match would have been better.
Gives more Independent players a chance to play on the day too.

Hear Hear Chuck
The Indy's got no show against the b grade sides and as for Ramco coming into the Indy's me thinks they will flog all sides

[Dogwatcher]

Will they be gaining Macca back CM?
Was Friddy a Ramco boy as well?
Dan Maywald's on his way back.

Don't know about Ramco. Maybe if they have the money to throw around to pay players. But if that is the case you think they would have used some of it to be able to field the four teams required in the Mid Murray.
Any ideas of what strip they are thinking of

On their performance last year Ramco would not get near the top four from last year and would be on a par with the three mallee teams.

That said they have a history of recruiting very good Waikerie players and this could lift them into the top four. They recruit a few Waikerie A graders, get a few back from other clubs and with a couple of good juniors they have coming through, they fight for the double chance

Their 2006 premiership side would not have beaten Cobdogla's 2006 premiership side and with what they served up last year they would battle with Brown's Well for the spoon.

There has been whisperings of infighting in the last 12 months that will have to disappear for this move to succeed.

The wild card for them is that 2009 is their centenary year.

i am willing to put a slab on with you that they will make top 4 next year if they play independent footy

[200 Killer Wasps]

By the measure of your confidence Bum Crack, Ramco are recruiting Waikerie A graders and have former players returning.

If that is the case then of course they will make the finals.

There is not a lot of difference between the RIFL and MMFL. If they are a top four team in MM then it stands to reason they will be top four in RI. Last year they did not make the finals in MM and that same team in 2009 will struggle to make finals in RI.

[KS41]

Some history shows that teams that change leagues, often do very well in their first year. May not be the case here, but you never know. (if the move takes place.)

[200 Killer Wasps]

The travel will work in their favour as most teams in Independents dont travel far. Hypothetically first semi final at Paringa against Lyrup may work against them.

I did hear they have to change their colours - Black, White & Thiel maybe.

Wouldn't have a clue who they are going to recruit, just reckon they are a top 4 team in independent footy. I guess we'll have to just wait and see.

[Dogwatcher]

They lost a shite load of players to Waikerie last season for the Centenary celebrations.
Will they get them back?

Pittaway among them?

[Hardpuncher]

i've heard brook hoad is on his way to ramco

[Bum Crack]

throw in Adrian Maturo, Steve Hefford and those boys. They will be good, don't you worry about that.

[BIG SEXY]

pittaway, maturo, heff would smash the indy comp. put in hoade to feed them and its a pretty handy side i would suggest

[callop]

I agree here, but apart from Cobby arent all the other indy clubs South of the river????

hear the RFL are programming an RFL b grade vs independent game to compliment Nth vs Sth of the river match for centenary. Not sure what you blokes think but, as entertaining as that match might be I dont see what it will acheive (apart from bums on seats) - surely a Nth vs Sth indy game or something might be better.
The combined RFL B grade side would look like an A grade team.

[the reflex]

exactly cobby v the rest

[cod master]

Brook Hoad has sighed for Ramco
Simon Sumner from Paringa to Barmera next season
Pittaway to stay at Waikerie next season

What do you mean IF THEY PLAY INDY FOOTBALL.
Don't you listen or is it you don't take any notice.
They have aready been accepted.
As for who is going to Ramco. We will wait and see. We will wait and see.

[cod master]

Do you know something in regards to players that are going or not going to Ramco B.B.J ?
