I shoulda stopped when I went through Sedan on the weekend for you Riddler!

So with only 3 teams this year i dont think there will be much action on this thread...

Is this the last year for this league? Would Morgan/Cadell fold if this league did or would they look to play somewhere else?

[Dogwatcher]

There's four teams.
Although, who knows what's going to happen to Morgan - they still don't have a coach.

Speaking to a few lads in the Commercial last weekend and they tell me Morgan do have a coach now...

Not much happening here so I thought I'd bring up a topic that's sure to feature down the track.

What are people's thoughts on the future of the Mid Murray?

IMO the league can't continue as is. Word is players are deserting the clubs due to lack of interest in a four team comp and a declining standard. Morgan already is unsure if they will field a B grade, Robby and Sedan will struggle for B's and BSR have lost six or seven from their B grade team. This on top of a 19 man A grade, and declining junior no's.

Options as I see it.

1) Get some more clubs to join fast ( although word has it some Hills country teams are interested.)
2) Give up with Robby to APFL ( they would be able to attract a lot of good players back from surrounding leagues i believe to be competitve), Sedan, Morgan and BSR to join Ramco in the RIFL. BSR would be the biggest loser here though due to their junior no's especially, but three clubs joining would make the league very interesting.
3) Give up, Robby to APFL, Morgan to RIFL, Sedan and BSR to Hills country, Sedan would struggle unless a 3rd division is created.
4) Give up, Robby to APFL, Morgan to RIFL, Sedan/BSR to merge and join Hills Country, or River Murray or Barossa ( River Murray or Barossa would be long shots with a lot of effort and cash required)
5) If Morgan look like folding merge with Ramco, the other options for the other clubs remain

I am sure everyone would agree joining Mallee is not an option. Better to discuss now rather than having to make forced decisions at seasons end.

[Dogwatcher]

Wow - interesting first post.

[KS41]

maybe they should look at talking to those hills country clubs. And maybe Eudunda the way they have gone the last few years. Two more clubs would go a long way to sustaining the league.

[On The Pine]

Would extra teams satisfy Robby? And it might be pointless if Morgan fold. I see one of their better players has jumped ship to Nuri.

Does anyone know where Max Baddock from Morgan/Cadell is playing this year?

[On The Pine]

Hadn't heard he was leaving but if he has, big loss for Morgan on top of O'Callaghan going to Nuri. The end would be getting closer!

not from what i hear. apartenly they have picked up a number of players from Ramco and east murray and they will be fairly good this year. they even have a B grade coach and plan to have a B Grade on the park by round 1 from what i hear. So i dont know where you are getting your info "on the pine"

I hope they can hang on and have a good season (finish 2nd to BSR of coarse )
I found the Morgan/Cadell guys to be the best bunch of blokes as far as opposition goes. (Sedan/Cambrai a close second).
The fact their guys played the Inter-Association game was also a massive positive to their club.
