Riverland Football Chatter

Gee Super - a hint would be handy....

[200 Killer Wasps]

Mmmm!, Where do you want me to get the clue......from.

[Dogwatcher]

i wondered about that name.
and i wondered about that involvement in the past - wasn't sure if I'd heard of his involvement.
The player involved has also been unhappy with the Tigers in the past.

Actually - there could be quite an exodus from the reigning premiers.
A leading player with a long term injury's talking of going to Mannum, and he might take a couple with him too.

Plus two of the leading recruits from this year will also be unlikely starters.

[200 Killer Wasps]

East Murray are pretty keen to get him but he is still a fair way from making a decision.

He is a premiership coach in Mid Murray and could bring players with him including another son.

[Dogwatcher]

Did he have anything to do with Nildottie?

On the Loxton front, we just did a quick calculation in the office and they could lose up to 15 A graders over the summer - but, a summer's a long time.

[GWW]

Dogwatcher, does that include ex Mannum players Aaron Sinkinson and Ben Quinn? Are they looking at going back to the River Murray Football League to play with the Mannum Roos again?

[200 Killer Wasps]

Dont know what you mean by Nildottie Dogwatcher, they haven't had a team since 1940.

BSR is what you are looking for,

Anything could, might, maybe, possibly, potentialy happen before the beginning of next football season. How many of the 15 have actually met the new coach.

I know Wunkar were hoping to get Daniel Evans this year but I think he is close to a games milestone with Loxton.

[Dogwatcher]

Sorry Supa - I meant Perponda, who folded in the past decade. I know EM have a relationship with former players of the Grass Parrots. I was thinking Nildottie, as I think that's where Pastie has, or works on, a farm.

Apparently Ben Quinn's going back to Mannum. I think he was always only going to play one season.
A few locals are apparently considering going there too - which would be a shot in the arm for them.

Sinkinson didn't finish the season with Loxton. Went AWOL.

Supa, it seems Daniel's always close to a milestone game. I reckon once a season I read about him having a milestone.
I used to love watching him play, and playing alongside of him.

I'm not sure how many of the 15 have met the new coach. There's been rumblings for a few years about some of these guys, so who knows....

[Felch]

Heard a whisper that Gepps Cross have just signed 2 Loxton boys, maybe another from Renmark. Any ideas ?

[Dogwatcher]

Pat Portolesi from Loxton might be one.
Matt Barry from Loxton North might be the other.

Jason Barry might also be a shot.

All three have played in senior premierships in the past couple of years.

Not sure of who the Renmark lad might be.

Is Brendan Donnelly or Chris Packham still at Gepps?

[Felch]

I dont know many of the Gepps guys - a work mate is involved with them. I do know that Donnelly has signed with Bridgewater though.

[Dogwatcher]

I played with both of those boys at Elizabeth when they were talented juniors.
I think Shane Stokes (now at North Haven) took them there, along with an older player Matt Simmons.

If the two boys are the ones Geppies have signed up - they'll be very happy with them. Talented players. Hard at it ballgetters.

[Felch]

Dont think Stokes is at Haven anymore - a mutual decision i believe. Pretty harsh, they finished third, behind 2 very good sides.

[Dogwatcher]

Trav Voigt announced officially as coach of Moorook-Kingston.

Potential coaches at Paringa are sports writer Nick Dillon, who's coached the club's kids for the past couple of years, and former Port Adelaide player, now pub manager, Mark Dittmar.

[Dogwatcher]

Also Berri won't be regaining Michael Hare for season 2007.
Apparently returning to play in Adelaide.

[bandar]

Heard a story that Berri might pick up Adam Beauchamp a mate of Peter Safralidis.

[Dogwatcher]

Tell us about him? Where's he played etc?

[bandar]

Smaller type onballer,has played at West Adelaide Goodwood PHOS and last year went to Noosa.

[Dogwatcher]

Darren Dean to coach Waikerie.

Paul Boughen appointed at East Murray - as per your intital rumour Supa

Roos ruckman Rhett Davis to Loxton North

Hayden Fromm heard to say he won't be at Loxton this year.

Cobby raiding Barmera - talented junior Robbie Vagg rumoured to be on way over the Sturt Highway.

And Independent clubs taking a close look at Loxton's B grade.

[Dogwatcher]

And former Cobdogla, Brown's Well and Loxton North player Ash Wakefield to coach in the Millewa league.

I wonder if he'll be able to convince any Cobby boys to go with him?
