So what's goin on in RMFL at the moment - any movements?

How's Bradley Jackson going down there at Jervois?

Post by **GWW** » Thu Dec 07, 2006 9:44 pm

I've followed the league for last 20 years or so, although haven't heard too much so far since the GF.

From what i've heard Mannum and Mypo intending on spending up big, will be a matter of them finding players though, especially Mypo who've struggled with recruiting quality players over the last few years. If Mannum get Sinkinson and Quinn back from Loxton plus maybe some of the players they've lost to the Mallee league in recent years they should be finals contenders again.

Have heard that Ramblers haven't lost anyone from last year. Saw rumoured on this site they may be picking up a quality CHB who has played in both Hills and Port Lincoln Leagues over last couple of years.

Jervois rumoured to have lost a few players but I'd imagine they'll again be front runners with Tim Richards at the helm. Their recruiting over last 3 years has been second to none, no doubt if they lose some players they'll pick up some handy ones as well. From what i can tell, Bradley Jackson's footy has blossomed with the quality recruits theyve had over last 3 or 4 years.

The club that i follow, Tailem Bend, is rumoured to be chasing 2 or 3 quality players so if they manage to sign them they should be more competitive. The club is looking forward to the direction new coach Matthew Dent (will play as well) will take it.

Haven't heard anything about Imps at all really, although they'll be right up there as always. They've got a few players reaching the 30 plus mark, so they may decide to promote some more youngsters, they're a very successful junior club.

Haven't heard anything about Meningie, they got burnt with some of their imports last year so will be interesting to see which approach they take this year to their recruiting.

Has anyone heard whether Adam Morris will head back to Meningie or will he follow his Edwardstown coach to Tailem and play with his brother?

How many Mail medallists played for Tailem this year other than Muffy? Because I also heard Onkas in the Hills were chasing a Mail medallist from Tailem. Surely Muff wouldn't leave Tailem????

Post by **GWW** » Fri Dec 08, 2006 7:20 pm

I'd say that Muffy would have been the only M Medalist at Tailem last year. Wouldn't surprise me if Onkas were after him, 2 other ex Tailem aboriginal champs, Roger Wilson, and Noel Hartman played at OV in the early 90's.

Hopefully the little champ stays at Tailem and is a part of an Eagles resurgence next year under Matthew Dent.

Will be interesting to see if those players from the malee league return to Mannum.

Mypo well we shall wait and see what happens there.

Also I havent heard shite, so guys please keep me informed.

Will Sinkinson play? He didn't play the last half of the season for Loxton. Disappeared off face of the Earth by all accounts.

What sort of positions does Bradley Jackson play?

Post by **GWW** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 11:24 pm

I think Bradley Jackson is a wingman/half forward utility type of player. Is he moving to the Riverland dw?

word has it that a few players may be looking at redirecting themselves from tailem bend to a successful div 1 premiership side now currently in div 2.

who might that be. i know that there is some affiliation between the two clubs.

theres an aborignal guy that trains with my local club hectorville and plays for meningie- stocky build, fast with shaved head. Looks pretty good on the track. Anyone know of him and if he is a quality player?

mazdabaiter · Post by **mazdabaiter** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 4:41 pm

yeh he did ask me to come out of retirement dingalinga but i knocked it back. the package wasnt there what he was offering, plus it could be a conflict of interest.

dinglinga · Post by **dinglinga** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 5:16 pm

Do you mean Sam Mahoney Coorong? Hes been at Jervois for about the last 3 or so years. Is now an assistant coach to Tim Richards as well.

Coorong · Post by **Coorong** » Thu Dec 21, 2006 5:55 pm

Sorry GWW, meant Sam. Both he and his brother Josh have spent many hours at my place.

But that was 8 years ago and since the move i have lost contact.
