Re: Murray Football League

Hey anyone at MOAMA, just waiting to know how Travis Wayman is going. His an old man, but gee he still goes alright.

Also I heard Duane Hueston is thinking about going back to his home club Shepp United, anyone know anything on that?


Just on Moama, just wondering if there coach, is it Cameron Waterson, wondering if he is playing or not. Good player, usually lines up in the pivot. Is he playing or non playing coach tomorrow????

I think his name is Chris Waterson. I'm not sure if he will be playing tomorrow but I would say he will.
 
Re: Murray Football League

Well the season has come around very quickly and alot has gone on over the off season. It will be interesting to see some of the new players for each team and seeing how much they have improved. Good luck to all clubs this year.

Here are my tips for Round 1:
Finley v Deniliquin Rams Good Friday
Echuca United v Moama Good Friday
Tocumwal v Congupna Good Friday
Barooga v Cobram Good Friday
Mulwala v Numurkah Easter Saturday
Rumbalara bye
Tongala bye

Finley will continue to build on a strong 2006 season and should get up over Deniliquin who have lost a number of quality players, and Echuca United, Barooga and Mulwala should have solid wins over their opposition. The Tocumwal v Congupna game will be a corker, both clubs have gained alot of strength and talent over the off-season which will make for an exciting first game.

Same expect Toc to get over Congupna though

Re: Murray Football League

Went over to Echuca United and Moama game today, even till half time then united flogged them. Marsh and J. Rowbottom went off about half through third with what appeared to be injuries. Of the new recruits United #5. think he was listed as S.Ryan looked good at times with # 27, sorry did not find his name possibly their best,played off half back, L.Jones was also important as was D.Reyne. For Moama M.Jackson # 6 was possibly best man on the ground, # 17 Liddle is extremely good, very impressive and #1, little bloke got better as game went on. Hard game to guage where both sides are at, obviously united were the better side but with the uncertainity of the arrangement with the few diamond valley players and baker appearing to needing fitness , united ???

Moama's coach did not play and the crowd opinion was that he does not intend to , # 7 named in the book as Travis Wayman, i would think did not trouble the statician till the last quarter and got a couple in the last, looked well past his prime.
 
Re: Murray Football League

Well off target with the Toc tip, got rolled by 14 goals.
Barooga won by 19 goals against Cobram with Sean Harrap kicking 10.
Echuca United by 19 goals also.
 
Re: Murray Football League

Mulwala 28.10 (178) def Numurkah 3.7 (25)
Finley 18.12 (120) def Deniliquin Rams 7.6 (48)
Echuca United 28.24 (192) def Moama 12.7 (79)
Tocumwal 8.12 (60) lost to Congupna 21.18 (144)
Barooga 26.14 (170) def Cobram 8.8 (56)

Anyone got some reports on how things unfolded? I see another recruit in Lee James (Mulwala) joined Harrop (Barooga) with 10 goals also. Will the North Heidelberg lads (Moore, King, Shaun & Harley Ryan) be only playing the first 3 games at United and then heading back once the DVFL starts?

I thought Moama took all there chances early kicking 6 straight while our kicking let us down kicking 5 goals 7 behinds will most of the behinds being kick-able. The game was a free flowing contest with quick movement of the footy. After half time i think our fitness and class players especially the boys from Melb took over and allowed us to win by such a large margin. Moama shold suprise a few sides this year.

I can't believe you thought M Jackson was possibley best on ground. He would not of been in the top 8 players on the ground. Got a few kicks but his opponent carved him up big time. As for Liddle the ruckman was pretty good at the centre bounces but around the ground was soundly beaton by Dalziel and Moore.

For us i thought Ryan no.5 was BOG with captain D Reyne very close. Kicked i think 3 goals 5 or 6 so had plenty of shots on goal. King no.27 and Moore no.25 were also good players along with Jones whose hardness in the contests were invaluable. All in all a great team effort with all players contributing throughout the match.

Doona the boys from Melb will be playing the first 4 games of the season and then look at what is happening in the DVFL in Melb and how they are liking their footy up here on the Murray. If the DVFL is pushed back any further they will certainly stay. From Saturday's game i hope they hang around for the whole year as they are all top line players and allowed us to play Guy Campbell as ruck rover.

Was interesting to see Congupna and Mulwala win by as much as they did.
 
Re: Murray Football League

From someone who see's a bit of both comps Id say the RDFL & KDFL are the same standard, so guess we'll see how good Lee James is when he goes up a grade or two in standard. Very good player yes, but wont always have it his own way in the MFL.


I guess we just seen how good he is Doona?
 
Re: Murray Football League

Can someone tell me how Gerard Liddell went for Barooga on good friday?
 
Re: Murray Football League

I think my quote stated he is a very good player, but as I said against the top MFL clubs he should find it tougher than the RDFL . . . . . geez pres you went to some effort draggin that old one up when there is nothing untoward about what was said :confused: A Lee James fan Im guessing

Liddell went well, should be a handy addition judging from what i witnessed. Runs hard, finds plenty of the pill and uses it well. Not sure about the long sleeves on a 28 degree day though?
 
Re: Murray Football League

Did anyone see the Congupna- Toc game. A toc player was telling me last week that they had there sights on a top 3 position... after saturday they would have to be pretty disapointed... Who played well for Congupna? I see that Maddigan kicked 7? Gee bloody Mul touched up Numurkah.. could be a long year for them!:cool:

Toc would be kidding themselves with a top 3 finish, lets all be honest here, the top four is surely settled with Nathalia. United, Mulwala and Barooga. The rest are fighting for the last two spots in the six. Congupna must have been good to dispose of Toc like that as I would expect them both to be battling for one of those last two spots in the six, but cant see them pushing the top 4. As for Mulwala touching uo Numurkah, can see many one sided affairs during the year with the top 4 flexing their muscles, don't read too much into it.
 
Re: Murray Football League

Was at the Barooga vs Cobram game and Barooga looked impressive. Although the opposition was fairly weak, Barooga moved the ball well and boast an excellent midfeild mix with the class of Byers, liddell and Tough along with the blue collar workers in the o'callaghan's. Byers looks to be the complete midfeild package. He wins the hard ball, sets play up by hand and foot and is also a good finisher as was evident with his 3 goals. David Tough was also impressive. He is tough by name and tough by nature. He took a couple couragous marks running with the flight and also uses the ball well.

Barooga had a good target up front in Harrap who finished with 10 and could have had more if not for inaccurate kicking. Cobram showed some faith in a young Matthew Sim who was clearly outsized and eventually outclassed. By the time he was moved off of Harrap in the second or third term, Harrap was on fire and set for a big day. I doubt whether Harrap would have been so dangerous if Cobram had got a better match up from the opening bounce.

They're defence had little to do and was hard to gauge, however Price looks to be a good player at Chb.

Cobram have some good youngsters and appear to be rebuilding. Coach Jason Kerr got plenty of it and should help develop their youg list, while other good players where few and far between. Their defence is very brittle and lacks height and they have very few forward targets. Their midfeild showed promise with some good run and link up on various occasions.

Im not very familiar with the league, but would suggest Barooga will be competitive with most sides but would probably struggle up forward against quality opposition. Harrap will be targeted and they need other genuine targets. Abney-Hastings and Mason have the size to do so but both looked out of sorts on friday.

Unsure whether I would be prepared to go as far as saying the top four is set, I only seen one game on the weekend and without being unfair, of united's top five or six, three or four may only play another two games for the season and there reserves were beaten by Moama, I am sure injuries will still play a big part.

Fair point, but Nathalia, Mulwala and Barooga are well ahead, United will also be if they hang on to the DV blokes.
 
Re: Murray Football League

Watched Congupna play toc on the weekend and congupna look pretty good. No one really thinks they have got a chance, wouldnt surprise me if they pulled a couple of upsets this year, not sayin they win the flag just sayin team will have to look out when they play them.
 
Re: Murray Football League

[Congupna were good mate and toc werent that good, they stuff up abit too much, Congupna had plenty of runners. Better players for congupna were Shan Emmett who was good all day of the half back line, Mark hampshire in the ruck, madigan up forward and 16 year old steele sidebottom can play.

You talking to yourself mate?

Congupna will make the top 6 in my opinion. They have recruited pretty well and they have a good coach in Travis Hampshire.
