Where to look: Six genuine top four threats in the NEFL
July 17, 2019
WELL, things are a little more complicated than they otherwise appeared to be about a month or so into the season, with results going as expected to that point.
After three rounds, the Southern Saints were winless and bottom of the table.
They bounced back to win five on the trot, including brilliant wins over top four contenders, North Clare, and reigning premiers, BSR.
The Saints slipped up against both Blyth-Snowtown and South Clare before the Zone bye, but they’ve genuinely emerged as a threatening force heading into the race towards the finals.
Blyth-Snowtown is going along swimmingly, having dropped the one match for the season to date.
This is despite losing coach, Carey Payne, earlier in the year following a personal tragedy and understandably stepping aside.
Experienced stars, Ryan Darling and Gareth Ottens have taken over with little fuss or fanfare but have the Cats primed for another premiership tilt.
BSR still sits in second but are getting the wobbles up with some recent losses and a host of injuries starting to hit home.
Full strength, they’re quality for sure, but they’ll be hoping to regain some cattle for the business end of the season.
One bloke not expected to come back is star utlity, Sam Heinjus, who apparently suffered a second achilles injury in as many seasons.
A number of people in the know think South Clare are the sleeping giants at the moment, poised on a win/loss ratio of six and four but capable of beating the best in the business when the Demons have their day.
They are closely pursued by rivals, North Clare, who had battled injury issues in the middle portion of the season but rallied to beat the dangerous RSMU at Riverton, some nine years since they last achieved the feat.
The Saints lurk in sixth but equal on points with North Clare on five wins.
Both Min-Man and BBH have struggled this season and can look to 2020 from this point but with six sides genuinely in the hunt with six weeks to go, bring on the next month and a half!

ROUND FIVE REPORT – MAY 26, 2019
SOUTH Clare claimed its second piece of mid-season silverware in two weeks, accounting for RSMU in Round Four to win the Vandeleur Cup for the first time in about seven years, before backing it up against rivals, North Clare, in the local derby on Saturday.
Patrick McInerney and Daniel Minney have enjoyed brilliant starts to the season, but it was enigmatic, Mitch Reynolds, who can break games open on his day, who did the damage.
It’s hard to say just where the Roosters are at, as on paper, the talent is there.
But with Nick Prokopec (no offence) carrying the bulk of the scoring load this season, it rings alarm bells instantly.
The big fella is no stranger to booting big bags but at 36/37 (we think), he’s more than earned a spell as second fiddle behind the next up and comer.
Prokopec has a club-high 14 goals for the year, with three appearances in the best players.
Dallas Hill’s availability would also be more than handy.
BSR remains unbeaten at the top of the ladder following a good win over a plucky BBH side.
Few clubs share the workload around like the Tigers and even without leading goal kicker, Lachie Wilsdon, adding to his tally of 13 majors for the season, they got the points in style.
It’s all looking promising at this point.
The Rams are clearly undermanned again after losing a few good players in the offseason but Kyle Crompton (former Port/Roopena lad) has been a handy pick up.
Tom Drew goes about it in heartening fashion and the combatic Robbie Bartee doesn’t mind the tough stuff either.
BBH is probably set to battle out the spoon against Min-Man, which is winless despite a commendable effort against fellow battlers, Southern Saints, which shade the Rams on the ladder in sixth spot.
Warhorse, Bill Sandow, has led the way for the Eagles, supported by recruit, Isaac Montefiore (St Peters OS).
The Saints look set to be battling out those spots from seventh to fifth, with Jack Wilkins in good form to date, while ruckman, Luke Wells, has been an important pick up from Tanunda.
Two of the sides who look set to form the top four, Blyth-Snowtown and RSMU, have started the season well, although the Cats are looking pretty dangerous after five rounds.
They ruffled the Hawks’ feathers on Saturday, leaving them in outright second with just the one loss to date.
Recruit, Harry Viney (Norwood), leads the league’s goal kicking with 16, but he’s been supported by local, Scott Atkinson, with 15.
We’ve got a lot of time for centre-half-back, Gareth Ottens, a genuine country footballer, good bloke and honest as the day is long. He’s having another good season.
So is talented midfielder, Caleb Lloyd, whose courage can never be questioned.
While on the subject of honesty and good blokes, RSMU pairing, Martin Rohde and Zack Hier, perhaps at different ends of their A grade careers, have been brilliant in 2019 for their club as well.

Round Three report – Sunday May 12, 2019
The grand final rematch was a dour affair, as BSR held off a valiant Blyth-Snowtown by 34 points.
The sides were locked together for most of the match but four goals to none in the last quarter carried the Tigers to victory.
BSR star, Sam Heinjus, showed no concerns from that troublesome achilles injury that kept him out of most of 2018, while Mickey Atkinson was named best for the Cats in a rare appearance at the top of the BPs.
South Clare continued its solid start to the season, this time accounting for Southern Saints by 41 points.
Northern Areas product, Eamon Fetherstonhaugh, was best for the Demons, while Dane Pfitzner put in a brave effort for the Saints.
Min-Man fell agonisingly short of BBH, the Eagles falling by just one point in trying conditions.
Neither side kicked a goal in a tense final term, Casey Cooper’s Rams winning by attrition kicking four behinds to two.
Jack Rowe was best for BBH, while Bill Sandow relished the wet conditions for Min-Man.
Some familiar names came to the fore for RSMU against North Clare, with premiership stars, Marty Rohde, Zac Hier, Justin Schahinger and Patrick Clark, all in the best players.
Youngster, Charlie McInnes, was best for the Roosters, while Dallas Hill was back from Port Adelaide, kicking two majors.
The win has the Hawks perched on top of the ladder unbeaten, along with BSR, while North Clare and Blyth/Snowtown are in hot pursuit.
South Clare has showed positive signs but sit outside the four, followed by BBH and the winless Min-Man and Southern Saints.

ROUND ONE REPORT – April 28, 2019
North Clare got an expected win over BBH. Dallas Hill kicked 6 goals and defender, Lachie Jaeschke, was solid too. South Clare showed big signs of improvement under new coach, Todd Brand, but it wasn’t enough to get over a strong Blyth-Snowtown, with Will Pratt (ruck) and Ryan Darling major contributors.
Min-Man was on the verge of a huge upset against RSMU, leading by 11 points at three-quarter time in a dour affair, but the Hawks kicked into gear with a seven-goal final term. The Southern Saints also took it right up to BSR, but the influence of veteran, Adam Mackenzie, and new recruit, Jordy Clements, got the Tigers over the line.

Demons re-Brand, Nicholls the man for Min-Man
Les Pearson reports: March 13, 2019
ONLY two major changes have been announced in North Eastern coaching ranks.
Justin Michael has moved on from South Clare after three seasons, including a preliminary final finish in 2017.
He has been replaced by former Southern Flinders and Northern Zone coach, Scott Brand.
Brand has brought some former Tiger talent with him, including the prodigious potential of Shane Ballantyne.
The other coaching change came somewhat as a shock, with former junior coach, Jake Nicholls, taking over at Min-Man.
He replaces star onfield coach, Ryan McDermid, who stepped down for personal reasons.
Peter Cook (North Clare), Steve Lubcke (RSMU), Casey Cooper (BBH), Carey Payne (Blyth-Snowtown) and David Cluse (Eudunda-Robertstown) remain at their respective clubs.
In terms of player turnover, Min-Man has copped a few losses it could ill-afford, with Pinnaroo export, Dylan Ribbons, moving on, while Steve Rusca has headed to Angaston in what looks a star-studded line-up in the Barossa competition.
The loss of Mitch Sandery from RSMU has been countered by the return of 2017 Mail Medallist, Patrick Clark from Glenelg, while efforts to clear former Central Districts product, Jackson O’Brien, from his former Tasmanian state league side to North Clare, have been rebuffed to date.
Star Roopena junior, Kyle Crompton, has somehow found his way from Port Adelaide to BBH in a great get for the Rams, although the loss of X-factor, Johnny Lynch, will hurt a bit.
Harrison Viney’s move to Blyth-Snowtown from Norwood adds some serious midfield arsenal to an already talented bunch too.
But arguably the signing of the summer is former Kimba junior and Port Magpies development player, Jordan Clements, coming off back to back Producer Medals with Mallala in the Adelaide Plains Football League.
His move to BSR just about locks them in as premiership favourites, with the Tigers seeking a three-peat in 2019.
