Central Murray FL Discussion 2024

Ventured out to nyah today. Not a bad outing although Irymple were a class above. Grenfell kicked 4 and spent some time in the ruck, Daniels was lively along with Saville. Iducia was serviceable.

Watched swan hill today. Their coach didn’t play and a couple of others. Mckeown played down back and not forward. Toby was a big out in the ruck. Charleson was a big surprise for me. Spent time in the middle and went well. Only concern was Charleson went off with a calf.

Supposedly there coach is out until r2 with a foot injury.

 

[Crippa09]

Swan Hill were missing a few but I still think with what they to come back just won’t cut it.. They lack proper key position players and a coupla midfielder’s short

If their coach plays a full year he'll go very close to winning the jack betts

A lot of A grade talent has come into the league this year, the jack Betts will be very interesting. You could name 10-15 players that you would think will be right up there instead of the usual Neagle, Helman, wade etc 5 man race.

what did you think of Grenfell? He looked okay to me, 9/10 forward entries were to him but not a lot were quality entries, long bombs and dump kicks. Do they have another avenue to goal?

Bit early for Jack Betts predictions isn’t it

Never to early to have a prediction mate. Who do you have?

I wasn’t at the game so unsure of the ins and outs but heathcote best Cohuna by 3 goals

 

[Crippa09]

Balranald beat Sea Lake yesterday by around 4-5 goals, both sides missing a couple but from all reports it was a cracking hit out for both sides. Rumours swirling that Fuller has pulled the pin this year and may only play a few 2s games, that would frustrate the Roo’s given his impact on the scoreboard..

Daniels waited until the half time siren to get going from what I heard.

Heathcote are a very good side, clear favourites in the hdfl

Apparently hasn’t trained but I don’t think that would be the first time with him

 

[Footyhead62]

Tyntynder looked good. Eagle hammy? Red cliffs were abit undermanned. Bibby was very good across half forward. He gives them that spark.
Where did O’Neil play for nyah? I heard he was playing down back this year.

It would be frustrating knowing that you’re in the premiership window, ya have a full forward capable of kicking 80 goals and he pulls the pin. He was their main focus down forward and a lot of their game revolved around him. But it’s his decision at the end of the day.

Give it till round 3 and he will be playing

Any word out of the Woorinen v Lake Boga game yesterday? Who won? Better players ect

Lake Boga got beaten by around 80 points. Going to be a long year and could spell the end of Helmers coaching career in this area by the end of his tenure.

Dean is probably the best coach I’ve been involved with. Has taken on 2 basket case clubs lately to try and help them out of bad situations and should be commended for it.

I’d have him coach any club I was involved with any day

If he’s as good as you say then he’d still be at Lalbert

Bloke pretty much saved Lalbert. 5 years…including some of the toughest being COVID..is a long time.

Who knows he could be back there one day…..

He doesn’t “help them out” for free

 

[ROOTA#6]

Nor should he. Plenty or less creditionald and successful “coaches” demand huge money from clubs.

Dean came to the region on the back of a hugely successful playing and then coaching career. Moved to the region with his young family.

I’ll defend him to the hilt against any criticism

Why did guys leave and not want to play under a good coach and improve their footy? Not sure heading out to murrabit will do that

From all the things i’ve heard they left because they werent happy about not getting much of a run in the seniors for the last few years and had been stuck playing reserves. So once the likes of Murrabit and Moula started throwing some cash at them they decided to take it. As for the players that went to Ultima they’ve only gone out there for the year chasing a flag. I believe all players will return to the club in the next season or 2 which Helmers will still be coaching i would imagine.
Boga basically starting again where they were 4 or 5 years ago but i would say slightly stronger now that the local players are in the mid 20s and not all 18-20 year old kids. Will still be a very long and tough year for them though unfortunately.
