Riverland Football Chatter

[gotcha11]

Geez... the game today was pretty poor.... I reckon any Riverland club could have beaten them today.... At least a few of the local clubs made a bit of money out of it.... Did anyone hear how many they got there?

[cod master]

They rekon 6033 people attended but i dont know who counted because it was a good crowd but 6000 mmmmmmm
As for clubs making money , the Cobby club was very happy with the days takings

[Dogwatcher]

Hmmmmmm......who signed up for Paringa yesterday....

[Counter Punching]

Hmmmmmm......who signed up for Paringa yesterday....

Well Lippy was them at the game yesterday.
But that would not be a suprise as Westley could be called family

[gotcha11]

Nah Westley isnt anymore... . That all over....last i saw

I enjoyed the humour of the day yesterday.

Where I was standing, incidentally near Chuck Norris, every time a Hawthorn player got the ball his name was Renouf. "Renouf kicks to Renouf". "That's terrible Renouf, this ain't the VFL!"

Well done to Jack Clohesy for covering himself in glory with a lap of the oval in his 'Mum' outfit. The fella showed a bit of G&D to run the whole lap.

certainly a fitter man than i!

Big Jack was in fine form on Saturday.
Nearly picked up Mark Soderstrom too!

My long kick market was well placed. I would have fleeced all you lads!!!

Why have a long kick and not measure them?? Or did they?

[Baron Greenback]

Did anyone else think Brian Parsons getting named in the 38 Independent Champions was a joke?
He's only played a handful of seasons of A grade, never won a medal, and to be honest is nowhere near the calibre of a plethora of other players who missed out, let alone the blokes who got picked.
Some other suggestions:

Mark Rudiger (Wunkar) - One of the toughest players I've seen in the Independents, played with one arm but still had better skill than most with two.
Greg Scadden (Moorook-Kingston) - I reckon anyone who notches up 400 games should've been a certainty.
Tom Graetz (Moorook-Kingston) - Another Warriors stalwart who definitely should've been selected.
Simon Sumner (United/Paringa) - Duthie Medallist, one of the best players to play Independents in his day.
Others: Simon Hucks (Wunkar), Adrian Abdulla snr (Lyrup), Arrod Westley (Paringa/Lyrup), Steve Rover (East Murray), Nathan Hart (Cobdogla), Ash Smith (Brown's Well).

I'd rather have Richard Parsons in my team.

Rant over.

[Dogwatcher]

Nick Dillon should have a chance of a guernsey.

[BIG SEXY]

where do i get to see that list CN?

dick shouldnt have made it in there, especially if blokes like rover, rudes and scadds didnt get a geurnsey

How funny was it at the start of the West v Norwood game??

The umpire held the ball in the air for like two minutes waiting for the siren to sound.

He looked around, everyone was waiting ... nothing.

Two minutes later umpire still holding the ball in the air ... still nothing, a bloke goes up from the grandstand and checks the time-keepers box, no one in there!

Finally some trooper popped up to the box and sounded the siren.

Finally some trooper popped up to the box and sounded the siren.

Yeah that was pretty funny. Almost as funny as the bloke that came up and bought a beer at 5.30pm and thought he'd be a smart arse and fart and he crapped his pants.
