Could be a long season.

BMFC list looks strong but also lost quite a few. Quality ins, just need the quality kids to keep growing. Matt Benson is a huge surprise get by the Roo's, has a bit of a family link with the Henwood family which I think played a fair part in the move from Loxton. He has also moved across to that side of the river!! Can confirm money wasn't the reason for the move.

OUT:
Richard OGrady
Kayne Cornish
Brett Ancell
Ben Drogemuller
Ben Bryant
Ryan Lancake
Brandon Wundenberg

Ins:
Matt Min
Matthew Benson
Jack Selfe
Jacob Fisher
Jaebyn Drefke (come from qld but looks to be solidly quality. Millard family)
Brad Rosenzweig
Mark Henwood

Few other ins coming through in the clearances for them but think most are B's & 18's.

Benson is the former cycling guru yeah?

Few quality outs replaced with a few quality ins. Benson will be a handy inclusion in their backline which was pretty young and thin. Fisher is apparantley a gun, haven't heard of Drefke but any relation to the Millard's would be handy. Obviously three major losses in O'Grady, Langcake & Cornish. Hamilton may not be playing at all either i believe

S Raeder - Gone
G Obst - Gone
C Ridgway - Still there (Depth player)
D Centofanti (Nothing against Dave at all, but in trouble if relying on him).
S Mumford - Gone
R Correll - New co-captain
A Beauchamp (retired)
N Hankin - Gone
M allan - Gone
J Miliburn - Staying (Gun)
B Thompson - Staying (Young kid though)
S Atkins - Staying
G Franks - Staying (past it)
P Safralidis - Staying, how much has he got left in him though?
A Grose - Staying i think... Haven't heard much re him
L Hayes - Gone
M Voight - Not playing
J Ridley - Staying
D Marner - Gone
D Lefty - Gone
B Grose - Gone

So they have lost over half their team from last their final last year when they were at full strength. Their B-Grade is hopeless, 18's have struggled for the last 3-4 years. They are in strife really!

Wasn't just down, was more like 10 goals i heard!

Rumours floating about that there last 2 pre-season games were going to be used to build confidence into the side and get big wins. Backfired though and they copped a couple of beltings.

Kept Lefty on for one year too many, they need to recruit a coach from outside of the area and re-form the club

You are correct! I hadn't checked the clearances for a few days and had missed that.

Also Matty Min with a clearance to the SANFL pending?

Brodie Fridd will be a handy inclusion back for the Roos

Just reporting what i had been told! Berri are in strife either way. Their next 5-10 years are up in the air with their next coaching decision going to be very important for them

Matt Min will still play for BMFC. He has been added to the crows SANFL top up list, will only play if there is injuries for the crows sanfl team. He has decided to put his teaching career first over playing SANGL footy full time. Hence why he moved to Barmera for his teaching job!

Surprised he didn't sign for Lyrup really after his illustrious off field career...
