Re: Riverland Football Chatter

How will getting rid of the Indys expand the A grade comp?

ask the wfc

They are on drugs if they think getting rid of a league all together could benefit anyone!!!
I think the two leagues should operate independently. The RFL is a basket case as it is, let alone having to worry about the independent clubs as well. Try going to a delegates meeting when you have independent representatives there trying to put their two bobs worth in about what should be done in the RFL. Concentrate on your own league and let the RFL concentrate on theirs. Shoot me down if you will, I don't give a toss. You all know my thoughts anyway.

Goes both ways BC.

Riverland Football Chatter

The MM's demise wasn't linked to not joining Mallee. Doing that would have resulted in more clubs folding - no one wanted the 2-3 hr travel and would have left. BSR lost Adelaide based players for that reason when moving to Indies. I still reckon BSR and Sedan should merge to form a new MM club and go somewhere that has full footy and netball at the same place. Which league is stronger RMFL or RFL? RFL might be a better fit despite the extra travel for city based players.
BSR and Sedan would never merge too much bad blood, think you would find most players would walk away and stay in the city to play footy - many of the guys in our side is made up of lads from the city who grew up playing at BSR and come home to play- merge it with the pigs and most wouldn't stay so why bother??
Not sure what's wrong with BSR as we stand?? Competitive and the players are happy- why leave just to keep a couple people happy that think they can run OUR club better than us!

I'd have no problem travelling to Sedan-Cambrai.
It's only once a year.

Re: Riverland Football Chatter

It's not an ordinary look for the league. It's sad for the league and the farming community that their football club no longer has the numbers to survive.
I had some good contests with East Murray blokes in the past and while they played it tough, they were good blokes - most of those fellas are still around the area and would be heartbroken.

It's possible, that eventually, with the Riverland's population drift, the Indies will disappear. Why anyone would take any glee from the death of football clubs is beyond me. Once the Indies are gone, the next focus for concern will be the Riverland B grade sides...
