River Murray Football League talk

[top gun]

Mannum 17.17 (119) def Tailem Bend 11.10 (76)

Mypolonga 14.16 (100) def Ramblers 10.18 (78)

Imperials 15-23 (113) def Jervois 4-7 (31).

Clive had seventeen shots at goal for a return of 9 goals & 8 points againts Tailem, he can take his pay packet this week & hold his head high. Also Tailems forward line dosn't seem to be working with Comer & rankine??. No goals between them, how many goals have they each kicked this year. Comer came with huge wraps but his game on the weekend was pathetic flogged in the ruck and would be lucky if he had a kick when up forward. Rankine has lost a heap of weight and maybe this has affected his football as he seems to get pushed out of position far to easy.

I did hear comer went of in the second term that might be why you did not see him or maybe your not watching close enough sunshine

is M Tommas still playing at tailem bend

No he got sick then dropped and had enough that is my mail someone else might no more

[DOWN THE PITCH]

Rise to the top he went off at 3/4 time, so you put 2 & 2 together DRAGGED???. Maybe you need to get your facts right.

Sorry risetothetop should be top gun

[ball breaker]

any members/supporters from Jervois able to make comment on how the new recruits from Great Southern FL have fitted into your club both on and off the field?

have they been worth your club's investment?

sorry down the pitch just going by what im told,you sound like a t/bend person what do you think of the recruits and the founds getting thrown around in the whole comp and do the locals get paid or they still play for love of football club ?

By the look of the results of late i'd say no.

I must admit that is what has prompted me to ask the question! but sometimes there is more too it so i thought i'd ask!! i'd say they wouldn't be tooooo happy!!

You guys have zero idea about recruits & the nature of what should or is to be expected of them, do you!!!

Point a, You cannot expect 4 recruits to carry the load that 8 had done for the previous 5 years. Jervois' new guys have featured heavily in their best this year, but they simply dont have the depth of good players around them the likes of Jag, Ewer, Jofa, Bails etc. that they have enjoyed in previous years.

Point b, Whenever a Team is struggling, the finger gets pointed straight at the recruits, when perhaps sometimes its the locals that need to take a good look in the mirror, & realise these guys are bought in as cream for the cake, not the batter. Yes you have certain expectations, but they can hardly be blamed for a TEAMS poor performances.

Although I do feel for the Panthers new guys, I dont feel especially bad for the club itself. Its been said for a while now, that with the sheer amount of imported players they have had over the past 6 years, if a number of them left in any given year as happened this year, they simply could not replace them under the points system, as most of the older recruits were zero pointers. They deserved their success while they had it, but were always going to be found out at some stage down the road with a smaller local base to work with

[Drama]

Clive is alive. Finally. Interesting to note that He only kicked 1 in the first half and that was after the siren at half time... Vickers was playing on him for the first half and definately was winning the battle. Then after half time his opponent was Lynch, and he kicked 8... makes you wonder why Vickers was moved off him??


Looking at Tailem best, Burling, Hogarth, J O'Connell, Shultz and Linde.... all local lads, with Burling and O'Connell who have been regular B grade players and Hogarth, Shultz and Linde all being 18/19 year old lads... I think it'd be unfair to say the paid lads aren't pulling their weight. Bell, Raidis, Vickers and Gabb have all had good seasons, but Comer hasn't been sighted for weeks??

was that lynch or linke on clive? why wouldnt dent put vickers back onto clive if he had held him to one goal in the first half or move lynch off him? not very good coaching.

bell, raidis, vickers and gabb are not new recruits this would be there 2nd/3rd year there. like u said comer hasnt been sighted for weeks. perhaps they would be better investing the $600 on retaining there locals like hogarth who are obviosuly proving to be the clubs best players.

You blokes need to do a bit more homework before you put things on this site. Vickers was moved off at three quarter time and moved forward as Tailem bend only had 6 goals at three quarter time. Dent put lynch on to Waterhouse who got 2 or 3 on him in the last quater, Tailem were struggling up forward so is it bad coaching if you move players around when you are struggling for someone up forward to give you an option????? I would rather see a coach make moves if things are not working

Good comments mate ... but i asked if their supporters where keen to make comment of their new recruits .. that's all! it's 'nearly' half way mark of the season, clubs and their supports should be able to make comment on the performance of their team and individuals in that team.

i know that 'recruits' DON'T make a team a finals team! they should ENHANCE what's at the club already.

so i guess back to my question ... how do the local supporters of the Jervois Footy club rate their new recruits and has their investment been worth it? what are Jervois doing differently in 09 as opposed to previous years? i've seen plenty of clubs in the GSFL spend 'big' $$$$$$$$$$ and got donuts .....

and again .. i'm not here to hang people, just quering what's happenging and creating a discussion?

didnt see the game just commenting on what drama had said. bit of a concern still if dent had to move a player from the back lines up forward to kick some goals think vickers only kicked one. what about comer, thomas, rankine? still dont think the coaching is up to scratch why wait 3/4 to make some changes.
dont think dents investments are paying off to well.

Dumb coaching if you ask me, i wonder why they lost.

Sorry mate, but I took great interest in watching Clive on the weekend, and I can tell you Vickers only had one kicked on him. 1.3 to be exact. And after half time did not stand him again.

So I suggest you 'do your homework.'

I reckon you will find that hogarth gets some lovin too

I highly doubt the young bloke is getting paid. Preseason there were rumors of a few clubs putting pressure on the lad with coin, but he decided to stay at Tailem, and my mail is for free.

Hogarth isn't on the pay roll. Either is Sumner, who would have to be the best long term pick up the Eagles have had. Back fresh from surgery has only played 2 games and kicked 4 goals in both coming off the bench as a small forward.

If these blokes like Sumner and Hogarth are willing to play for free, why pay them. Good to see locals doing there part for the Eagles.

And as I said before, the other blokes paid lads seem to be doing alright. Bell, Gabb, Vickers.... there is just a bloke running around out there on big $$$ who I'm not sure Paul Abbot would even play in his B grade side and a coach who seems to make some odd decisions.

Which one is it??? You obviously havent got a clue, if the lad was getting money last season, then why would he play this season for free??

By long term you must mean this season, considering sumner has made it quite clear that this will be his only year at tailem, before heading back to imps next year to get his knee operated on again...
