Riverland Football Chatter

[silicone skyline]

Two votes for Chris Marks. One vote: Shane Renfrey. Awesome

[Baron Greenback]

That's sensational.
I bet I know who nominated Marksy.

[silicone skyline]

Jamahl Liddle offered big money in Mildura apparently and word is from Loxton camp he is gone.

His lack of fitness at this stage might be found out in Sunraysia however and apparently they expect good results for their investments.

Hope he does well.

Also on the Tigers, it appears Ash Montgomery (who is looking fit) is waiting on results for Ross River Virus scan.

[skeletal system]

Interesting, Matt Martinson had ross river most of last year at Renmark and it knocked around massively.

The tigers need a fit in full flight Monty to be up there this year, the boy has got some ability but has been a bit hit and miss over the years. Can seriously play when on song.

Out of him and Benno as to who wins the long kicking comp tomorrow i reckon, sorry SS can't get you in the top 2!

[silicone skyline]

I wouldn't put myself in the top 6.

I was just telling Matty Leyson how we're both kicking for the same charity but I think our kicks together wouldn't win it.

Bennett has a leg on him that would feed a Korean Army.

Odds for long kick

Ryan Bennett - $1.40
Ash Montgomery - Scratched. Possibly replaced by Ryan Smith
Ben Venning - $2.50
Anton Cook - $5
Darryl Tillbrook - $8

Any other player - $15

[Baron Greenback]

I'd back Shannon Hissey at $15.
Just depends on how drunk he is tomorrow!

[know all]

Is Nick Kuhn still playing footy up there,i think he was playing at Bamera.Heard he was a pretty handy player any feed back

[BIG SEXY]

where can i put on my bet of any other player at $15 SS?!
pretty good value i reckon

[silicone skyline]

If I were a bookie and had a little float I would offer it.

Who in the any other player could kick it further than bennett or cook?

I would have thought cook was value!!

[Dogwatcher]

I reckon Cook is great value.

From the Herald Sun.

ADELAIDE have withdrawn eight senior players from a an practice match against Hawthorn which looms as a farce.
Hawthorn has named just one premiership player for a trial game in Berri in South Australia's Riverland that even coach Alistair Clarkson won't attend.

In response, the Crows on Friday pulled eight first-choice players from their line-up, including captain Simon Goodwin and established stars Andrew McLeod, Tyson Edwards and Scott Thompson.

None of Adelaide's eight-strong leadership group will feature in the game.

''The perspective has changed a little bit this week in terms of the squad that we'll take because of the injuries that Hawthorn has got,'' Crows coach Neil Craig said on Friday.

But Craig maintained his club had an obligation to Adelaide's Riverland-based supporters ''to treat the game in a very serious manner and we will be''.

Injury-ravaged Hawthorn named seven players from their VFL affiliate side Box Hill for the match.

The Hawks have conceded they have an "extraordinary low level of player availability" and are almost certain to be under strength for Round 1 opponent Geelong.

Now they have moved into injury damage control, aware that suffering further injuries in their remaining two pre-season games would be catastrophic.

Already Rick Ladson (knee), Jordan Lewis (shoulder). Xavier Ellis (hip), Trent Croad (foot) and Stephen Gilham (knee) will miss Round 1.

Coleman medallist Lance Franklin (thumb/shoulder) and Norm Smith medallist Luke Hodge (shoulder) will only just get to Round 1 with limited or no match practice, as will Grant Birchall (hamstring), Chance Bateman (knee) and Campbell Brown (ankle).

Players to be rested tomorrow include captain Sam Mitchell, Stuart Dew, Brent Guerra, Jarryd Roughead and Cyril Rioli.

Well both teams can go and f*ck themselve's and I hope they end up 15th and 16th this year. What an absolute disgrace.

playing at port districts...very handy down back!

[200 Killer Wasps]

If Shane Schulz kicks it straight he will win the long kicking comp.

[BIG SEXY]

i concur with 200kw and BC
what a joke, im tempted to get pissed as then throw crap at both sides

[Dogwatcher]

Wunkar had 20 seniors plus 15 colts at training Thursday night.
New coach very impressed.
Gonzo has yet to miss a training session.

[200 Killer Wasps]

DW the credibility of your last post was shot to pieces with the last sentence.

[Dogwatcher]

From the coach's mouth.

Anyway, what credibility?

[200 Killer Wasps]

Point taken.

I spoke to Bomber during the week and he said they had only signed two new players.
